The Oxen Report: August Leaves $10000 Buy Virtual Portfolio Up 62% on Year and 5% Month-over-Month, Short Sale Virtual Portfolio Up Nearly 22% on Year

August was yet another terrific month for the Oxen Report. Our Buy/Overnight/Week Trade Virtual Portfolio for 2010 is up 65% so far this year with 113 trades. We have gotten 85 of these 113 actionable trades correct, giving the virtual portfolio a 75% success rate thus far for the year. The Short Sale Virtual Portfolio is up over 21% thus far this year on 53 trades, and it has over a 79% success rate as well with 42 correct trades. Finally, we have a new virtual portfolio that just started in May for Long Term Investments. The virtual portfolio is not one that needs to be updated on a daily basis, but we will continue to watch for developments that would change my thoughts on our fair value estimates for them. Our 2009 virtual portfolios ended with Buy Picks up 108% in 9 months. The Short Sale Virtual Portfolio ended up 10% in 6 months.

 
The way that my virtual portfolio works is that for Buy/Overnight/Week, I have started with $10000 in 2010. This amount is divided between four mini-accounts that each have $2500 in them. These mini-accounts A-D are rotated through each other so that I can account for multiple positions being open at one time and having time to let money settle after selling a position. Below the account virtual portfolio for August of 2010 is available. The virtual portfolio shows entry, exit, amount gained/lost, changes in account and total money, and the date of action. If you would like to view January – June, click here.
