If you check back in my previous posts , I have sold some losers but yes these have been pretty good picks. I try to go through his recomendations and pick what I believe are sound stocks. Over all the average for all his recomendations is not that great but it is in the plus side. |

Frusnak,
Instead of doing 1000 share lots, shouldn't you do it so you weight an equal part of your portfolio to each? Using that method, price has a large influence on return %, because so much of your portfolio would be in more expensive stocks. By equally allocating everything, it would balance out the inequalities caused by share price and give a more accurate picture of the overall portfolio return.
I don't know if I'm being clear, do you get what I'm trying to convey? |

| Yes, like you have 10 stocks so each gets 10% of your portfolio, if you had 5 each would be 20%... not like you imply above, with says you would have 1000 shares of everything, so you might have $10,000 in something but $50,000 in another. |
