One-month performance of Year End (2019) strategy

The performance of the stocks listed in my book “Best Stocks for Year End 2019” is 4.6%. The 2018 result of 53% in a month is not sustainable, but beating the SPY (without considering fees and dividends) by 19% is nothing to sneeze at.  

If I only include the 4 stocks from the recommended 9 that have Earnings Yield more than 20%, I would have a return of 10%. Will include this info in the next book titled “Best stocks to buy in 2021” – it is not a promise for the book.

There are some stocks not included in my actual trades that have an average return of 4.7%.
