Performance

This is a performance of my actual portfolio. All of these stocks, I have recommended on this blog. As you can see, all have had a 10% or greater return. My job as a value investor is to get the best possible absolute return. I do not measure myself against the broader indexes. If you only have to pick 10 stocks out of a universe of thousands of stocks, you should be able to get a positive return almost every year.

Currently, out of this portfolio, HD is almost at my fair value price of $45. Once it hits that, I will get rid of both my options and shares.

UNH options, I will likely keep till January 2009 when they expire.

VRTB is a long term hold because it will be able to pay me a dividend of 10% a year. Should it reach $7, then I will most likely sell.

CFPZF (Canfor) is a long term hold until the housing market fully recovers.

If I were to initiate any new positions out of my portfolio, it will probably be with PYGMF (Partygaming) or GIGM (Gigamedia). As you know, Im very bullish on the online poker business and I think these two stocks have the highest risk/reward ratio. I plan to at least double my money with these two stocks.
