I beat the S&P by 333%

January 23rd, 2006 · 1 Comment

Making money on the computerWhile doing my taxes this weekend, I realized just how well I did on my stock picks last year. Taking into account every trade, I made a profit of 21% after I cashed everything out in December.  Even after the capital gain taxes take their bite, I still made a profile of 13%.  That is outstanding!  It outperfomed the S&P by 333%.

My non-retirement trades

  • PTIE - 550 shares, purchased in April and May for an average of $5.11, sold in December for $6.73. 31% profit.
  • MOT - 100 shares, purchased in March for $15.74, sold in July for $19.37. 22% profit.
  • SPDV.OB - 500 shares, purchased in March for $1.74, sold in June for $1.50. 15% loss.
