Anybody else out there beating the market on down days with a largely invested portfolio of value stocks?

I think we should first define how we are using "value" stocks in this context. When companies start to outperform, they become less discounted.

One portfolio, 99.98% invested, is beating the market YTD and on down days. But...

Please share your secret.

that portfolio is not composed of stocks that I would consider values at the present. They were purchased with a good margin of safety, but I would go so far as to call a few of them overvalued now.

This comes back to what I was saying in my last post, about time frames. These last few months have seemed very hard, but a few months is a very short period. The important thing IMO is to concentrate funds in companies which you know will be worth holding for at least a few years, even if their stocks underperform for part of that time.
