At the beginning of the year we set up some hypothetical portfolios.
Rather than review them in individual detail, lets just look at some
performance.
One S and P 500 index fund, symbol spy, was us up 25.48% for 2009.
Fortune Magazine picked 10 stocks for 2009.
Here is how it did:
NameSymbolLast priceMkt valueGainAltria Group,

112.21466.92466.92Cash397.2612972.32
So we are 29.72 % which beats the S and P Fund by 4.24% which is
impressive. Notice that half of the stocks beat the S and P and half
did not. So you can see the risk.
This was the best of our portfolios. The bond weighting in the others
pulled them down. International exposure was great.
Now we will see what 2010 will bring.
