It was a very good week for Portfolio A1 – and an excellent week for the portfolio’s top three holdings. With Mosaic (MOS) gaining 13.4%, Sinopec (SNP) up 13.7%. and DryShips (DRYS) surging 22.8%, it is not surprising that the full portfolio tacked on 10.6% in a remarkable week.
With less than a month to go in the trading year, Portfolio A1’s cumulative 12.2% gain is 10.4% better than the meager 1.8% gain in the benchmark S&P 500 index.
Despite the recent success, the portfolio is not standing pat, as beverage company PepsiAmericas (PAS) is being swapped out for Fresh Del Monte Produce (FDP) in a move that I cannot attempt to explain. As fun as it has been watching and commenting on the doings of this mechanical portfolio, I am looking forward to rolling out a discretionary portfolio at the beginning of the new year.
There are no other changes to the portfolio this week.
A snapshot of the portfolio is as follows:
