Quote from alphastocks:

I only trade one new entry and 1 exit per day in a 20 stock portfolio and over that past 5 years I have averaged 50% per year.

I know that most sensible people will not believe that track record so I will start posting my trades here just for kicks.

As trading is so hard, besides risking money, anything less than 50% p.a. return is perhaps not worth doing, imo.

Alfa,have you come to the conclusion that it is next to impossible to return 50% with a long-short portfolio??
