September was a stinker of a month all around. I was down 1.7% in September and ended up 39.3% for the year so far compared to 41% last month.  The DOW is up 10.6% (down 4.9% in September) and NASDAQ is up 12.1% (down 6.3% in Spetember), so I am still well ahead of the market averages. I didn’t sell anything in September or buy any new stocks, but I added to a couple of existing positions that I am bullish on.  

We are 3/4 through 2021, inflation is rampant and the prospects of tax hikes, high oil prices, high crime and foreign policy risks appear to be rising. A market correction or crash has to happen eventually, so I am continuing to try to be cautious. I have banked over half of my 2021 gains and cut my market exposure by just under 25% so far this year.

In late 2015 I started offering a paid subscription service which is similar to the Blog, but I tell you exactly what stocks I bought and why—and sold every day, with a weekly summary of activity, open positions, how many shares I own and their valuations.

The cost to subscribe is $50 a month for individuals, with a 100 subscriber limit. First-time subscribers can purchase a 3 month subscription for $100. I am not trying to get rich by having thousands of subscribers. I do this for self-discipline in my investing, so I am accountable to someone besides myself, which helps keep me focused. I am NOT a trader. I buy my stocks thinking I will own them for 2 years. Many, I own for far less than two years, but some I have held for five years or more. Including my current open positions, 86% of my stocks have been or are profitable.

Through September, 2021, I have averaged a 51% gain on the 58 stocks I have sold (54 winners and 4 losers) in my private portfolio since January 1, 2016. Fourteen of the 58 stocks have had buy-out offers, including two in 2016, six in 2017, two in 2018, none in 2019, two in 2020 and two so far in 2021.

My total portfolio was up 30.6% in 2020 and 72.8% in 2019. I have taken most of my gains and banked them in cash.

I stopped publishing our free weekly CSI Blog after 10 years of publishing at the end of 2015. I closed out the two remaining stock positions on the Blog in February 2021. Since inception in 2006, I had 73 winners, 20 losers for a 78.5% win-rate with an average gain of 38.9% on the free blog.

August was a comeback month for me. I am still not where I was earlier in the year though. I gained 3.9% in August and ended up 41% for the year so far compared to 37.1% last month.  The DOW is up 15.5% (up 1.4% in August) and NASDAQ is up 18.4% (up 4.6% in August), so I am still well ahead of the market averages. I didn’t sell anything in August or buy any new stocks, but I added to a couple of existing positions that I am bullish on.  

We are 2/3rds through 2021, inflation is rampant and the prospects of tax hikes, high oil prices, high crime and foreign policy risks appear to be rising. Who knows if Afghanistan will affect the market going forward. A market correction or crash has to happen eventually, so I am continuing to try to be cautious. I have banked just over half of my 2021 gains and cut my market exposure by just under 25% so far this year.

July was a sobering month for me. I dropped 6% of my profits for 2021. I am up 37.1%% compared to 43.3% last month.  The DOW is up 14.1% and NASDAQ is up 13.8%, so I am still well ahead of the market averages, but my lead is shrinking as investors sold off small cap value stocks to chase “growth” stocks most of which are not profitable and trade at crazy valuations. I didn’t sell anything in July, but I bought a couple of new stocks and added to a couple existing positions.

Although we are just a month more than half way through 2021, inflation is rampant and the prospects of tax hikes, high oil prices, high crime and foreign policy risks appear to be rising. A market correction or crash has to happen eventually, so I think this is a time to be cautious. I have banked most of my 2021 gains and cut my market exposure by just under 30% so far.

2021 has been a barnburner for me so far. I am up 43.3% compared to the DOW which is up 12.7% and NASDAQ which is up 12.5%.I didn’t sell anything in June, but I bought a few stocks.

Although we are only half way through 2021, it is starting to get dicey. Inflation is kicking up and the prospects of tax hikes, high oil prices, and foreign policy risks appear to be rising. It has to happen eventually, so I think this is a time to be cautious. I have banked most of my 2021 gains and cut my market exposure by just over 30% so far.

2021 has been a barnburner for me so far. I am up 40.6% compared to the DOW which is up 12.8% and NASDAQ which is up 6.7%. May was a down month for NASDAQ but up for the DOW and down slightly for me (.4%). I didn’t sell anything in May, but I bought a few stocks.

Through May, 2021, I have averaged a 51% gain on the 58 stocks I have sold (54 winners and 4 losers) in my private portfolio since January 1, 2016. Fourteen of the 58 stocks have had buy-out offers, including two in 2016, six in 2017, two in 2018, none in 2019, two in 2020 and two so far in 2021.

I closed my position in LEE, yesterday and booked a 115% gain.

2021 has been a barnburner for me so far. I am up 41% compared to the DOW which is up 10.7% and NASDAQ which is up 8.3%.

In late 2015 I started offering a paid subscription service which is similar to the Blog, but I tell you exactly what stocks I bought and why—and sold every day, with a weekly summary of activity, open positions, how many shares I own and their valuations.

The cost to subscribe is $50 a month for individuals, with a 100 subscriber limit. First time subscribers can get their first 3 months subscription for $100.

Through March, 2021, I have averaged a 50.5% gain on the 57 stocks I have sold (53 winners and 4 losers) in my private portfolio since January 1, 2016. Fourteen of the 57 stocks have had buy-out offers, including two in 2016, six in 2017, two in 2018, none in 2019, two in 2020 and two so far in 2021.

My total portfolio was up 30.6% in 2020 and 72.8% in 2019.I took profit in almost the entire gains and banked it in cash.

We stopped publishing our free weekly CSI Blog after 10 years of publishing at the end of 2015. We closed out all of our remaining stock positions on the Blog in February 2021. Since inception in 2006, we had 73 winners, 20 losers for a 78.5% win-rate with an average gain of 38.9%.
