Everyday Finance Portfolio Outperforms Again



For the prior week, the Everyday Finance portfolio outperformed the S&P500 again with a return of 3.6% versus 2.7% for the index. Big gainers for the week were Focus Media (FMCN) with a return of 11.6% and Suncor (SU) with a return of 8%. The full portfolio and respective returns appear in the attached chart.

The portfolio has now outperformed the index several weeks in a row, including a down market (I had updated mid April; not sure what happened there, so for sake of argument, let's call it now 6 of the past 7 weeks running)



May 11 Post -.2% vs. -1.8% for the S&P500

May 2 Post 2.7% vs. 1.4% for the S&P500

April 26 Post 1.2% vs. 0.8% for the S&P500

April 19 Post 6.2% vs. 5.5% for the S&P500

April 6 Post 6.7% vs. 4% for the S&P500


Future considerations for the portfolio based on recent posts are:


  1. Banco de Colombia, which has performed incredibly, running up 35 times over the past few years and is doing well of late too.


  2. Vision China, which is shaping up to be the next Focus Media; both growing Chinese advertising stocks.


  3. China Finance Online, which happens to be up 20% from last week due to stellar earnings, but one that I've been tracking nonetheless.
