Model Portfolios
Bookmark of this page has been deleted.
Can we invest based on the
gurus' recent
stock picks and
holdings? What kind of returns can we expect if we invest based on the
consensus picks of gurus or the
bargain candidates and the stocks many of them hold? What kind of returns can we expect if we buy
the top-ranked stocks?
In order to find out the answers to these questions, we have constructed a few model portfolios based on different criteria. Click on the charts to find out the details and holdings for each of them.

If one runs a portfolio by being long on the undervalued stocks and being short the same amount of overvalued stocks, the performance of the portfolio will be decided by the difference in the performances of the undervalued stocks and overvalued stocks. The shorted stocks serve as the market hedge, and the portfolio will be market neutral. The performances of the general market will not affect the returns of the portfolio.
The performance of this hedged portfolio is from the relative performances of the model portfolios of Undervalued Predictable Companies to Overvalued Predictable Companies.
