6 winners and 2 losers. Both losers are foreign companies: HIMX (Taiwan) and MT (Luxembourg). Will avoid foreign countries in the future.

Sub list of the previous recommendations.

Re Recommended (4 stocks)

These stocks have been recommended in my previous books.

 

Symbol	Return	Ann.
DSK	16%	42%
GTS	52%	137%
JEF	10%	28%
OPY	8%	21%
Average	22%	57%
RSP	1%	2%
Beat RSP by	2,510%

 

This is fantastic and this sub list will be continued in this book. It seems the winners keep on winning.

Short-term lists 

There are two bonus lists: Momentum and Short. These lists are short-term, and hence I use one month after as the end dates. I included 2 months for whether we should hold for one more month. 

The short-terms lists may not be appropriate depending on when you buy this book.

Start date: 07/15/2021.  End date: 08/15/2021. I also included returns for 2 months. 

Momentum (2 stocks)

Symbol	Return 1 M	Ann.	Ret. 2 M	Ann
CLAR	-3%	-30%	-2%	-13%
CROX	27%	303%	33%	193%
Average	12%	137%	15%	90%
RSP	3%	37%	3%	17%
Beat RSP by	265%		440%

 

This time is quite good, but not in the previous book. In this case, holding two months is better than one month in “Best RSP by”.

 

Short selling betting the stocks to go down (3 stocks).

 

 Short selling is not recommended particularly for beginners due to the extra risk.

 

Symbol	Return 1 M	Ann.	Ret. 2 M	Ann
CCL	-4%	-44%	-6%	-33%
NCLH	-1%	-8%	-3%	-15%
MILE	38%	435%	45%	264%
Average	11%	128%	12%	72%
RSP	3%	37%	2%	17%
Beat RSP by	241%		330%

 

CCL and NCLN are cruise liners and this sector did not perform well in this period. For diversification, you should only trade one stock in this sector.

Sub list to hedge inflation

 

Commodity (5)	Return	Ann.
GLD	-3%	-8%
IYM	-1%	-3%
SLV	-17%	-41%
USO	-4%	-11%
XLP	-1%	-4%
Average	-5%	-13%
RSP	1%	2%
Beat RSP by	-705%

This list does not perform even that we had high inflation. It is due to excessive printing of money that makes stocks (as opposed to commodities) more attractive. However, I still recommend a small portion of your portfolio invested in this group. This is the only loser in this specific book. 

Sub list of risky stocks

 

Commodity (3)	Return	Ann.
EVC	16%	43%
NUE	10%	26%
YELL	108%	283%
Average	45%	117%
RSP	1%	2%
Beat RSP by	5,275%

 

It turns out this list has the best performing in this specific book. Nothing risked, nothing gained. When the market is risky, do not bet on this list. I had YELL at one time and it was stopped out. Be careful on using stop orders on volatile and low volume stocks.
