A Ticker A Day: Portfolio Track Record + My Position Building Approach
Good morning and welcome back to A Ticker A Day. In this episode (which includes a podcast for paying subscribers), I share my thoughts on the psychology of watching the price of your stocks drop, position building, and what the decision to “HOLD” truly means.
I’ve been thinking about how to best share my track record in a way that’s not boring, and also talk about the struggle of looking at stocks you’ve purchased recently and watching their price go down. The question I want to address is: “how to deal with that psychologically?”
Track Record Overview
I maintain an incredibly detailed spreadsheet, so that my track record is easily accessible for me to analyze. I have made this available exclusively to A Ticker A Day paid subscribers, so you can see how I organize my results.
$VTI (Benchmark, $10 purchased every market open day): -12%
Just A Ticker A Day picks (excluding VTI days): -12%
A Ticker A Day picks + $VTI picks (only the days I made a decision): -17%
