Archived Public Portfolio Trades

 

Note: Above average gains are attained with low risk volatility. Volatility is measured by maximum capital loss month-over-month (draw downs). Of the four plus  years of data, only ten months (out of 50 months of data) have seen month-over-month capital losses and all those losses have been well contained. Compare that to the market and the drawdown you would have experienced there!
 
Capital preservation must be, by necessity, the first goal of all traders. Profits come next. In the table below, the percentage capital appreciation or depreciation (both realized and unrealized) is identified in the VAMI column on a month-to-month basis.

* Note that in March of 2004, the column Total Booked Gain or Loss changed to Total Gain or Loss.  This was done to accurately reflect that gains or losses need to include both booked and still open positions. Current calculations no longer use this outdated and wrong method. Historically that was the number presented in these pages. We made the switch so that open and closed positions are now used to complete the calculations. Note that the NAV and VAMI columns do reflect this and that is why for the Month of May 2002 you see a green "Total Booked Gain or Loss" yet a red VAMI.
