Well, tracking that Jan effect. My portfolio as posted on
my website was more or less my second experiment with playing
the Jan effect - just about every stock had the potential to
bounce. And it is happening. I'm up 9.50% so far this month.
Yeah, I know, Amazon.com has already nearly doubled again, and
anyone in internet stocks would be doing better than me. But
the Nasdaq is only up a little over 6%, and it's had a heck of
a run since the year started. So with my diversified portfolio
of relatively unknown, unheralded, huh-at-the-cocktail-party stocks,
I feel that my gain so far is real, and that the Jan effect is
in fact still working - so far. Just saying that yes the individual
investor can still benefit from this oft-heralded, oft-disparaged
phenomenon, and value investors are likely the ones most capable of
taking advantage of it, IMO.
Good investing,
