We stopped publishing our free weekly CSI Blog after 10 years of publishing at the end of 2015. We have now closed out all of our remaining stock positions on the Blog.
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.
Through February, 2021, I have averaged a 47.3% gain on the 54 stocks I have sold (50 winners and 4 losers) in my private portfolio since January 1, 2016. Thirteen of the 54 stocks have had buy-out offers, including two in 2016, six in 2017, two in 2018, none in 2019, two in 2020 and one 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.
2021 has been a barnburner for me so far. I am up 38% compared to the DOW which is up 1.1% and NASDAQ which is up 2.4%.
