2011 Yearly Report

I was not sure whether I should write a yearly report or not as most of the information on each stock is covered in my “Stock Name: Year in Review” (I know I still need to do one for MHM) and “Where do I see my stocks going in 2012” posts. However, I have decided to put together some brief analysis so that I can review this post in the years to come.

CODE:	Purchase Date:	Original Price:	Current Price:	Percentage Increase/ Decrease:	Weighted Increase/ Decrease:
XJO	28/04/2011	4873	4056	-16.77%	n/a
MHM	30/11/2011	1.01	0.855	-15.35%	-2.53%
KGL	7/11/2011	0.10	0.12	20.00%	1.67%
KGL	27/10/2011	0.09	0.12	29.03%	2.74%
KGL	31/08/2011	0.10	0.12	20.00%	3.15%
OBJ	11/07/2011	0.02	0.019	-9.52%	-1.16%
OBJ	20/06/2011	0.02	0.019	-9.52%	-0.83%
MHM	31/05/2011	1.20	0.855	-28.45%	-4.73%
OBJ	28/04/2011	0.03	0.019	-24.00%	-2.98%
					-4.68%

The above table details the purchase date and price of each stock in the portfolio, as well as the percentage increase/decrease and weighted percentage increase/decrease. I have then tracked the XJO at the top of the table with a starting date that aligns with my first purchase of shares in OBJ.

As you can see from that date (28 April 2011) the ASX 200 has decreased by 16.77% until its close on the 30^th of December 2011. During that same period the value of my stocks have decreased by 4.68% (this figure is different to the Dec monthly figure as it includes the effect of brokerage). It also does not take into account that fact that part of the portfolio still remains in cash and is unaffected by the moves in the market. If that was to be incorporated then the impact on the weighted value of my portfolio would be slightly less.

Overall I am pretty pleased with the effort. Obviously I would have liked one or all of my stocks to break through in 2011, however, I think 2012 is shaping up to be a positive year. In summary I believe that outperforming the market by 14 odd % (even if it was still a loss) is fairly reasonable for the start of my first full year utilising this strategy.
