Goals
This web site was designed to show the returns of investing
in the stock market following the most reliable method we were able to
implement after a long research. We encourage all the readers to send us
feedback, comments and questions about how they liked this idea. All the trades listed on this page are
executed by us in a real portfolio using a brokerage account and posted on the
site as soon as technically possible. We neither encourage nor discourage you to invest
in the stock market or follow our trades. The
reason for posting our trades online is to help individual investors answer for
themselves the wide spread question: “can the market be beaten?”
Why did we start researching the stock market
Being frustrated by statistics that show that the vast
majority of the mutual funds underperform a broad index such as S&P500, we
started looking for proven ways to consistently outperform the market.
How we pick the stocks
We researched strategies used by legendary investors such as
Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, Ken Fisher, O’Neil, Martin Zweig
and many others, as well as different valuation models and decided to use a
combination of all to enhance the stock selection performance.
As you can see from the tables below, this method does not rely on
day-trading as the minimum holding period for each security is 30 days.
In the tables below are listed all the trades we execute regardless
whether they are profitable or not.
