  • The Five Greatest Stocks: Performance Update 0 comments
    Mar 4, 2012 7:43 PM | about stocks: MA, UA, GOOG, AAPL, AMZN

    Here is the performance of my "Five Greatest Stocks" as of March 3, 2012. This is about 4 months since I first introduced my stock picks. Over this period the S&P 500 had a return of about 9.3% with dividends reinvested and my portfolio had a return of about 10.3% with dividends reinvested, since I wrote the article here.

    Here are the individual returns with dividends reinvested (where applicable) for each holding:

    MasterCard (MA): 18.9%

    Under Armour (UA): 9.3%

    Google (GOOG): 4.8%

    Apple (AAPL): 34.7%

    Amazon (AMZN): -16%

    Please note that even with the under-performance of Amazon, the portfolio still managed to beat the S&P 500. I am still feeling rather confident that portfolio will still continue to outperform.

    Stats courtesy of low-risk-investing.com.

    Disclosure: I am long MA, GOOG, AAPL.

    Additional disclosure: I am also long on AMZN with long-term leaps.

    Stocks: MA, UA, GOOG, AAPL, AMZN
