We averaged a 41% gain on our 8 sold positions in our private portfolio and are up 3% on our other 16 positions.

November was just a so-so month–up .7% compared to the Dow up 5.6% and NASDAQ up 2.7%. We are still up a healthy 23.9% compared to the DOW up 9.7% and NASDAQ up 6.3% for the year. GSL was up 130% and got close to our cost basis and we got out at $3.00. It is now sub-$2 again.

We are updating our open legacy portfolio once a month until all positions are sold. Of our closed out positions since inception, we have had 70 winners, 17 losers for an 80% win-rate with an average gain of 38%.
