*The marked symbols were not picked
before 1-1-06 and are being tracked based on their pick dates.
Pick Dates (ABX 1-13-06; BDJ 1-26-06; DLP 2-2-06; FDG 1-4-06; NUAN
1-13-06). Their comparison to the S&P 500 is also being
tracked as of their respective pick dates. |
All values have been updated as of Market Close 9-1-06. My picks have outperformed the S&P 500 index by 3.93%. That's not to terrible. I'm looking forward to 2007. Historically, the market does well in the year before a Presidential election and into/through the cycle.
Of all my picks, the only one I have questions about is TINY. It's hard to value a venture capitalist firm like this because so much of the result is based on the companies they invest in going public. The rest of my picks I consider long term.
