Poll: Your performance vs SP500 this year

[shalab]

Similar to Sanjeev's poll, let us do this poll to see how people's portfolio is doing. Also, let us highlight the winners and the stocks that didnt move.  ;D

 

For me personally, 0878.hk was a winner this year gaining 55%, I cleared SNS(BH) early on in the year with gains for the duration I held the stock, BRKB gained this year. FFH has lagged SP500 this year but has done better than SP500 for the duration I have held the stock. Similarly WFC has greatly lagged SP500 this year.

 

cheers!

I think its hard to make YTD comparisons.  Sometimes it takes the market a long time to weigh a company correctly.  I think performance over 5 years is much more accurate for a value investor.  If you make a good call, as a value investor, you are rewarded handsomely, but often you have to under perform while you're waiting for fair value.

I would like to thank the board for bringing SNS, SSW, and EBIX to my attention and helping with my returns so far this this year.
