Just as Harshu Vyas might make 50% on his small portfolio, I could maybe, possibly, do better than the S&P500 with my 200 stock portfolio. HaHa
Well, I've done it in the past for several years. How? By position sizing. When you have really relatively large (compared to tracking/small) positions in stuff like AAPL and GOOG, and COST, Bruwin's LRCX and MCO, etc., it "has" been doable.
Can I, will I, be able to match or exceed that S&P bogey again?
Doubtful. Times seem different now for me, given my age (old) and portfolio. Buffett keeps resonating: Why risk money you might need to get money you don't need?
Last couple years, I'm below the S&P.
1. Took large position size in unproven companies that crashed.
2. Placed more emphasis on dividend paying stocks.
3. Moved from fully-invested to large cash holding. |
