This is the first year for this website and the first live year for the Model Portfolios being tracked. Overall the year was very good with all six Model Portfolios beating their benchmarks. The backtests of all the Model Portfolios predicted this and it comes as no surprise to me that the live results are matching the backtests. I expect the outperformance in all Model Portfolios will continue thru 2024. Happy holidays to everyone. This will be the last update from the SwingTrader.Trading website in 2023.
