After a series of very poor weeks, week 31 is actually up while the IWV is down. I have a week by week chart with both my performance and IWV performance:
So you can see I was up 5.0% going into this week and I am now up 1.9%. Meanwhile, IWV was up 5.3% and is now up 4.6%.
Gap Up
Did get some good news on GPS this evening (GAP says sales edge up 3 percent in second quarter). The stock is up 5% after the bell.
August 15th Picks, Rejects and Run Off
With just a week left before the sun sets on my August 15th 2013 tranche, I thought it'd be fun to take a look at the stocks I considered but didn't pick:
Actual Picks
| Start | Current | Dividend | Pct Gain | R3K Gain | |
| CF | $187.26 | $243.81 | $3.00 | 31.8% | 16.6% |
| $66.06 | $71.12 | $0.53 | 8.5% | 16.6% | |
| AGX | $15.60 | $34.89 | $0.75 | 128.5% | 16.6% |
| $11.29 | $13.89 | $0.00 | 23.0% | 16.6% | |
| RPXC | $15.92 | $14.94 | $0.00 | -6.2% | 16.6% |
| Totals | 37.1% | 16.6% |
Run Off
 |
| August 2012 Picks - Runoff 8/13-14 |
So holding my five picks from 2012 would have still been up over 26% (I do not have dividends in here).
Rejects
 |
| August 2013 Rejects |
Interestingly, up almost exact same percentage. Almost every stock (except CYOU) was pretty decent.
