Portfolio A1 Finishing Year With Big Gains

What was largely an up and down year for Portfolio A1 through Thanksgiving has suddenly turned out to be a very successful one, thanks to what is shaping up as a very strong finish. Essentially even on the year at Thanksgiving, Portfolio A1 is now up 19.3% just two weeks later, putting a lot of space between the portfolio and the benchmark S&P 500 index, which is now showing a 3.4% gain since the portfolio’s February 16th inception.

While a bullish run in Sinopec (SNP) and a resurgent DryShips (DRYS) have helped, the 121% gain in Mosaic (MOS), added to the portfolio in mid-August, is the primary reason that the portfolio has made such impressive recent gains.

Given that the portfolio is putting up such superb numbers, I am inclined to reverse my previous thinking and continue to highlight it here past the end of the year, rather than start a new portfolio from scratch.

There are no changes to the portfolio this week.

A snapshot of the portfolio is as follows:
