Well, since on ET boards I have already been accused of being another incarnation of MrMarket, or of one of his other supporters, perhaps I thought it unnecessary. But point it out, by all means. In fact, I am not the moderator but one of he 3 site admins, MrMarket being one of the other 2. But...

Today MrMarket sold ARO, for $33.62. The port is updated accordingly. Cash is now 14,153.80. MrMarket also sold one of his older stocks, so we can expect two new picks soon. Regards, Karel

On 10-3, MrMarket announced a new buy, ARO, which he bought at 28.90. The paper port accordingly bought 34 ARO. The port currently holds 36 FINL, 34 ARO, cash is at $13,020.72 and total value stands at $15,151.46, a gain of 1.3% compared to last Thursday, and 1% overall. Regards, Karel

I will be away for a week or so, so the weekly update is a bit early. The port currently holds 36 FINL, cash is at $14,013.32 and total value stands at $14,966.24. This portfolio will be dragging around a lot of cash to start with, so while the port only dropped 0.2% this week, the invested...

OK, I just saw MrMarket's announcement, so I might as well try to beat him to the post. From http://mrmarketishuge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=80 Today I bought FINL (The Finish Line) at 27.13 and I will sell it in 4 to 6 weeks at 31.39. The port has bought ($1000 - $10)/$27.13 = 36 FINL and...

Hello Grob, No, because I already did, and I haven't the faintest idea how fast all 14 :) stock slots get filled. I am not "he", so I don't know how much he buys. I'll specify the amount for the port, though. Yes, the sale price will be the one announced by MrMarket, just like the buy...

As I already posted, MrMarket's Yahoogroup has been closed. Unfortunately, this affects the port as there are no longer any timestamped announcements by MrMarket to check the validity of the ports buys and sells. I will restart the portfolio. Bother Yahoo! I will restart the portfolio...

Hi Grob, I started this port in 2001 (see 1st post), so this explains the 80 closed streams, as opposed to the 32 closed + 13 open on MrMarket's website. It means that 48 streams were opened in 2001 and closed in 2001-2002. And after the PRX buy, there is only 1 stock slot left free, see my...

Oh brother. The Yahoogroups board of MrMarket no longer functions. A temporary board has been set up at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mrmarketstocks Regards, Karel

You'll find that information about MrMarket's current holdings on http://hometown.aol.com/ebarsamian/ You'll need to scroll down a bit :) The worst loser currently stands at -15.5% Regards, Karel

Hi Grob, I can do one better, as each sell of an 'old' holding would introduce new uncertainities for the cash side. The port currently holds: 74 PTSI 57 AXL 84 CHKE 44 MDC 26 GRMN 132 WRLD 37 COH 170 WSB 48 AMHC 108 NARA 41 DKS 76 HELE 22 PRX Cash 3,193.05 You'll notice...

Dear Grob109, First: I don't know what MrMarket is doing, apart from the picks he announces, I only know what I am doing in my portfolio. There are 15 streams now, as you call them, 14 for stocks, 1 for rebalancing. Currently, 13 of the stock streams are active. Most of the time, all 14 stock...

Last Thursday, MrMarket bought PRX at 72.40, and the paper port has been updated to reflect that fact, with 1/3rd of availabele cash allocated to PRX. There is only one stock slot empty now, apart from the rebalancing slot. The port closed the week at $ 26,501.76, up 1% for the week, down...

This week ESI reached MrMarket's target. There are now 2 empty slots, besides the cash slot. Someone asked how I proposed to calculate returns. Well, in the simplest way possible. This week the port took a hit and now stands at 26,229.53. The return this week is -4.2%. QQQ and SPY dropped...

To mention MrMarket on these boards may be dangerous to one's health, but I would like to start a journal for my MrMarket port nevertheless. In it I follow the trades as MrMarket posts them on this website and in his Yahoogroup. While the presentation on his homepage, with closed and open...
