2013 Portfolio performance


I got around consolidating the portfolio performance for the 2013 now. Here is my annual portfolio performance for the year 2013. My accounts net-worth increased 41% as of 31st of Dec 2013 since the beginning of Jan 2013. This has been a wonderful year following an even better year 2012. For 2012, my net worth was increased about 59%. I knew I wasn't going to repeat the performance of 2012 unless I am very lucky. Overall, 2013 was a great year for my portfolio both in terms of absolute and also relative to the S&P performance (32.3%).

Major contributors for the performance were

Chanticleer Holdings (+155%)
Fiat (+70%)
Infinite Computer Solutions (+45.4%)
Bank of America (+48.57%)
Direct TV (+37%)
Biglari Holdings (+24.45%)
BP (+15%)

Major detractors were,

Exco Resources (-27%)
Aeropostale (-18%)
Weight Watchers Intl (-16.8%)
