Today marks the beginning of a two month long wrap-up of the live update posts for the six Model Portfolios. During the next two months, only Removes from the six model portfolios will be posted but no new Adds will be made. At the end of April 2025, the final monthly report will be made and no updates at all will be made after that.
I have enjoyed providing this free website showing that swing trading can be fun and profitable. But the interest shown by the investing community has been very disappointing and is not growing over time. So I don’t see any reason to continue to invest my time in the demonstration. After two years of live posts with a complete audit trial , I have proven my point. Time to wrap this up.
All Model Portfolios are ahead of their respective benchmarks for the 2023-2025 period.
The Quant Alpha’s is now up over 143% for 2023-2025 and continues to destroy its benchmark EQAL by 120%.
The BI-Weekly Swings is now up over 71% for 2023-2025 and crushing its benchmark BSMAX by 47%.
The Small Cap Discoveries is now up over 63% for 2023-2025 and continues to outperform its benchmark IJR by over 45%.
CANSLIM Growth is now up over 43% for 2023-2025 and easily beats its benchmark BSMAX by over 19%.
The Large Cap Stalwarts is now up over 43% for 2023-2025 and is now outpacing its benchmark RSP by 19%.
The Mid Cap Flyers is now up over 35% for 2023-2025 and is now outpacing its benchmark MDY by 9%.

thanks for putting it up so long. What was the source of Quant Alpha? I’d like to continue following it.

But I noticed it is not Alpha Picks. Is it another analyst or your own criteria?

I got into investing because of you. Coming from a third world country, you have been inspirational. Sad to see the updates not come in anymore. Had based my portfolio on your updates
