The Newest Monthly Tracking Portfolio

June 26th, 2015 Tracking Portfolio

Time for a new tracking portfolio to kick off.  As a reminder, I take the top 50 stocks greater than $100 million market cap from the official screen.

I then track them for a year and compare their results versus the Russell 3000 benchmark.  I also track three subset portfolios: (1) dividend stocks with yield 2.6% and greater, (2) stocks new to my tracking portfolios in past 12 months and (3) dogs of the portfolio, which is essentially stocks that were on the screen a year ago and down 30% or more in past year.

I thought a summary table of the 50 stocks showing their start points and whether they make one of the sub portfolios would be interesting to my twenty readers.
