Wheeee this is fun. I'm in your short term club, Shoe

Unloved post
LWAY: recommended 8/30 @ 13.75... 10/11 @ 19.25 = +40.00%
.... bought at 6.20 3 years ago
TTWO: recommended 8/30 @ 15.23... 10/11 @ 19.01 = +24.81%
.... bought at ~12 a month or so before
Variance
JBX: recommended 9/12 @ 58.20... 10/11 @ 67.63 = +16.20%
bought @ 58.20

LWAY and JBX are good stocks, but the short term gains are mostly variance, I can't take credit for that. But TTWO I take full credit for - I am beating the market with it because the market was stupid a few months ago. My investing style is contrarian and value based, and I invest in only a few select companies at any one time - why take the whole market when opportunities like TTWO pop up?

Anyway, 46% annualized returns for the past 3 years (my entire investing experience), I'll enjoy it until I return to more mortal figures [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
