20 Stock Portfolio has a really nice week!
Last weekend I gave a month end review of the hypothetical 20 Stock Portfolio I am running on this blog. At that time the portfolio was down 8.5% for the month of November and down 1.5% for the quarter. This last week the portfolio was up 6.2%, moving back into positive territory for the quarter. Every stock in the portfolio was up for the week except Wayside Technology (WSTG: 8.56 -0.19 -2.17%). WSTG is not a stock I watch anymore, I just keep it in the portfolio just to carry it to the end of the quarter. I actually owned some shares, which I sold a while ago. This stock will be gone in Jan 1. Remember this is paper portfolio.
Several of the stocks had excellent moves for the week:
- City Bank (CTBK: 1.46 -0.03 -2.01%) was up $3.00
- VeraSun Energy (VSE: 0.00 N/A N/A) up about $2.90
- Gigamedia (GIGM: 3.22 -0.05 -1.53%) added $2.50
- Aegean Marine Petroleum (ANW: 27.20 -0.27 -0.98%) gained about $2.20
You can figure your own percentage gains but VSE looks like the percentage winner. VeraSun has moved into the position of best performer in the portfolio, up over 30% since October 1.
The 20 Stock Portfolio is currently at 14 components. I have been gathering a group of stocks that I am interested in researching for possible addition into the portfolio. I hope to get one or two added this week.
