The new GARP index is up in Exodus, which is a semi-annually managed portfolio of 15 stocks that I maintain. It has, in what I consider to be, the very best growth stocks with the lowest risk. Last year’s first half portfolio returned 13%; the second half gave it all back for a giant wash. I will do better in 2016.
Also, I updated the Bubble Basket, Old Man Portfolio and Tech indexes, again all found in the hallowed halls.
Moving on: I am out of the stock business. I cleared the decks for 2016 and will be solely focused on trading the oversold/overbought signals from Exodus. This will be a tremendous boon for members, since I am going to dedicate all of my time in the system and not get harangued by the stupidest shit in the world, which is individual stocks.
With a portion of my very large cash position, I purchased TLT for safe keeping. I do believe the yield curve will invert, so TLT should do well.
The only position I have listed is SHAK, a name that will either curse the devil out of me, or glorify my early bullish position on the burger chain of win.
Please note that Jeff Macke will be partaking in the day to day activities in Exodus for the entire month of January, which will include videos, community notes and the blog. It should be fun. Also, iBC’s own, “The Devil”, is now working behind the scenes in Exodus, assisting in business development strategies. I only tell you this because some of you enjoy to know what he’s up to, in regard to the site.
We added a shitload of content and writers in 2015. Finally, I’ve moved away from the me, me, me form of content, in favor of an empirically superior version that widens out the tent, significantly. The results have been nothing less than staggering, with traffic leaps of 50%, over the previous period. Plus, I am 100% happier writing about the day’s events, people behaving badly, than having to tell you about every nuance of my trading life.
This isn’t my last post of the day, so I won’t wish you all a Happy New Year’s yet. However, I do want to thank all of my readers in 2015 for coming to iBankCoin, making it the special place that we all know it is.
