Workshop Returns -- Monthly Strategies

Some Workshop strategies perform best when renewed monthly. Below we show the returns for each Workshop strategy assuming that the strategy has been rebalanced each month. The original set of stocks was selected on Friday, 12/31/99, and purchased the following Monday 1/3/2000. The portfolios were then rebalanced based on the Rankings published on the last Friday of each month using purchase prices based on the closing price the following Monday (or next market trading day).

Both 5 stock and 10 stock returns are shown. The first return is the average of the first five stocks listed; the second return is for all 10 stocks. In addition we show the Year-To-Date Return for each strategy which includes the compounded returns since the 12/31/99 and the Return Since Rebalance which is the return for the stocks shown since the rebalance date (whether the stock was purchased then or was held over from the previous period).

Returns assume an even dollar amount invested in each stock. "Cost basis" is the split-adjusted purchase price. "Now" is the closing price as of the date below. Returns do not account for dividends, transaction costs or taxes.
