I've been tracking a portfolio since 7/18 and I'm beating the market

Apparently your grammar isn't even 8th grade level, either. Please tell me you don't actually manage money?

What does grammar have to do with making money? As long as he doesn't make too many fat finger errors, a positive outcome may be possible.

It's a general sign of intelligence, learning and attention to detail. Beyond that, this guy began the thread bragging about how he's beaten the market for the last 2 weeks. If that doesn't throw up a million red flags, I don't know what else to tell you.

For the record, I've also beaten the market in the same time frame in every account I own (8 or 9). If nothing else, it's because they have some bonds, gold or cash. Some have beaten OP's return. Can I sign up somewhere to manage a million dollars??

Thanks for the encouragement. I've been investing since I was 5. Hold a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Finance, worked for Merrill, PE firms, OTC trader, NW Mutual and about to start at another big five bank.

I truly appreciate the encouragement, but people might be surprised from time to time on this forum.

Wow, my apology, didn't realize you are a pro and not one of us small mom and pop retails. Surprise is all good in this anonymous forum, as long as you are not selling us a get rich quick scheme.

You see some of us small mom and pop retails can surprise you pros from time to time on how much we made trading.

best wishes.

Thanks for the response. I genually appreciate the kind words. Frankly, I'm just an aspiring investor like everyone else. Hope some of my insight helped others as much as they've helped me. Enjoy the weekend. I'll keep posting. Thanks again

Haha. Right there. I'm not too concerned with Grammer in these informal forums. Also, I think my math makes up for any spelling errors I make. Thanks for the response.

Thanks man, a million dollars isn't much to manage by the way. A Billion is more like it. I just wanted to see what the forums response would be to a long short strategy in today's market. Thanks for the reply. Good luck.

I agree. I use a number of fundamentals. I can't tell everyone the exact strategy...

Oh, another one of those. Someone who has a strategy so delicate, so fragile, that if even one other person knew about it, the entire multi-trillion dollar daily trading world would know it too, and it would be destroyed. Such senseless paranoia.

Thanks for the reply. I just don't like to give away. Not yet anyway. Plus it would take too much time and effort to share it with the whole entire public world, not just one person.

Long short strategy, best companies based on fundamentals and worst companies based on fundamentals.

That's enough information to get the idea.

If you want a step by step guide go to school.

Thanks again for the reply. Good luck.

A bona fide niche is something you can tell the world and they still can't duplicate it.
