This is analysis of the recommendations I made in my blog post below on 27th December 2014
#I computed the % assuming if you had invested on these tickers at market close on Jan 2nd, 2015 and sold all the holdings on Dec 31st, 2015 at market close
A hypothetical portfolio of 7 stocks listed above if purchased at market close of Jan 2nd, 2015 would have yielded at profit of $2626 which is close to 8 %.
I consider this a good success considering that broader stock market S&P actually lost close to 1 % and the blue chip index DOW 50 lost a little above 3 %. The only losing ticker would be PIN. I had high faith in performance of Indian bourses but did not pan out well.
I also had recommended some investments which are likely to lose. Here is the summary of losing stocks which I recommended to stay away from. Gold, crude oil, junk bonds, treasury bonds, small caps were very bad losers. The ETF for Europe IEUR lost 3 % - I did get this right. I had also recommended to sell Japanese stocks which was NOT a correct call. The ETF which closely mimics Nikkei 225 gained 8 %. My Japan call was poor prediction.
