Month End Summary November, 2023 – Outperformance Increases

This month in the stock market was a strong up month. The SPY was +9.1% with RSP (Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF) +9.2% with MDY +8.4% and IJR +8.3%.

This month saw big gains in the USA stock market. The Small Cap, Mid Cap and Equal weight Large Cap indexes had 8 or 9% gains. The Swing Trader portfolios have performed even better increasing their performance lead ahead of the benchmarks. Small Cap Discoveries, Mid Cap Flyers, Canslim Growth, Large Cap Stalwarts, BI-Weekly Swings and Quant Alpha’s are all ahead of their respective benchmarks for the year and are positive for the year.

This November, I decided to convert the two Probationary Portfolios, BI-Weekly Swings and Quant Alpha’s, to be Model Portfolios. I will add these two to the four I already have and now I total six Model Portfolios. They span the range of micro-cap, small cap, mid cap, large cap stocks. The frequency is Monthly for some, BI-Weekly and twice a month updates also.
