While our QuickPicks portfolio has maybe not generated outrageous gains, the portfolio continues to perform extremely well when compared to the S&P, or most other managed portfolios out there. Our QuickPicks portfolio has increased by 14% over the last two years, compared to the S&P with 6.6% over the same period of time.  And yes, it has been two years already.

As a reminder, our QuickPicks portfolio reflects the consolidated opinions of several respected third party analysts, mixed in with our own analysis. We do not hold positions in any of these stocks. In contrast, the companies in our SWI Portfolio have been hand picked by us. We have applied a more personal and intense due diligence regiment and are holding long positions in every stock in the portfolio. Accordingly, the SWI Portfolio performs considerably better than the SWI QuickPicks, the S&P, or most managed top portfolios by leading firms, but stock selection is also based on a much higher risk/reward ratio. So far it has paid out handsomely. We will give you an update on that next week.
