Surf's last year (2011) predictions

Quote from Pekelo:

Sorry guys, I haven't been reading the replies, but today seems to be a good day to check on the prediction portfolio:



Assuming we put even money on all 3 predictions:

1. We are almost back to the predicted 3-4% end of year range, so an option spread (profit maximized when in the 3-4% range) would have a nice 5 months time decay. Let's count it low, a 10% profit. (atticus can give us a better estimate)

2. From 95 down to 67.3 right now, that is about 29% profit. This position did have a big DD though, but only on 1/3 of the whole capital.

3. From 19 went to the predicted 10, position closed, profit was 47%.

So averaging the profits of the 3 position: (10+29+47)/3 = 28.6%

I think 28% profit in 5 months with a max. DD of 10% (it was about 30% on 1/3rd of capital) isn't too shabby as predictions go, considered that this was a non-correlated, diversified portfolio.

Hey Surf, how are your predictions going? I am too lazy to do the math...

Still trying to impress ET with your paper trading prowess I see.
