Final results of my January Effect 2005 portfolio:

Symbol		Gain (closing prices 
                      2/4/05 - 12/31/04 
                      ignoring commissions)
CAMD            -6.49%
LIPD            +9.84%	
MTMD            -0.49%	
PARS           -37.32%	
SGU		-8.99%

total           -8.69%	 model, all positions held 12/31 - 2/4 close

total           -3.62%   actual, PARS sold @ 1.25 Jan 4

RUT             -2.17%


Well, I fell a point-and-a-half short of the RUT this year. Due to my small number of stocks this year, this is not a statistically-significant result.

The main conclusion is that this time around:
* there was little tax-loss selling in December
* January was a bad month for small caps.
