Either your portfolio is weighted or your calculations of the return are not correct. You have 22 100% losses for companies that went kaput. If your portfolio is not weighted (investment in every company was the same), you need at least 22 gains of 353%+100% to cover the losses AND get to your 353% return. Actually, you need even more, but I am being conservative. However, in Message 27525701 where you listed best performing stocks of the portfolio, there are only four stocks that exceed 353% and only one stock that exceeds 453% gain. So obviously you either weighed the portfolio or you miscalculated (again). I will guess that you miscalculated, because otherwise you had to hugely overweigh the 4 stocks that showed 300%+ return to get to your 353% result. So check your math please. ;) Overall, I still don't believe your approach is in any way related to value investing. And it's not clear to me what you are doing on this thread except trying to sell your paper returns.
