Hello everybody, I’ve been distracted by a succubus for a few months but I think I finally got her hooks outta me, I should be around a little more often.

​

The reason I joined CommonStock was to start publicly tracking my portfolio, to show others like myself that you don’t need Ivy league education or an economics degree to beat the market.

​

I just wanted to share the results of my personal portfolio and my smart portfolio as well as some of the best trades from each account.

​

It’s no world beating results, but I’m happy to beat the S & P 500 in 10/12 months. I studied for years and used virtual investing with play money u til I was confident in what I was doing.

​

My entire education comes from $0.50 books from Goodwill and I basically keep it as simple as Buffet & Lynch tell me I should. I’ve also got a lot of Ben Graham, John Neff, and David Dreman in me. I am naturally a value focused, intelligently contrarian investor. I don’t go against the crowd for the hell of it, but I understand that historically, industries that have been down the last year have a higher probability of outperforming what’s been hot the last year. I find the best companies in the most unwanted or out of favor sectors so I can get what I like cheap.

​

Here’s a few shots of my primary two portfolios I have linked from Stash.

​

Any comments or concerns are welcome! I was shocked to see such outperformance while Beta was so low. Seems like that destroys the theory that beta somehow relates to risk. I’m with Buffet on that one, makes no sense.
