With one retirement account using 21 long strategies, the return is over 12% since 5/1/2013. That is really good but when compared to SP500 index, it's doing only as good as the index. Since 5/1/2013 the SPY symbol has returned about 13.5%. My regular account with 17 long/short strategies has not done as well and since 5/1/2013 has only increased 5% but went as high as 10% and then has had some recent big draw downs like PBR and WLT. Also, I have strategies that go short and the majority of the shorts have been losers due to very strong market we're in right now. I think it will take long time to truly measure the success of OV but so far I'm fine with the results especially for the retirement account. It's not double or triple the return of the major indexes as I was hoping. But I'm not losing money either. My goal is for OV to exceed the returns of the major indexes as much as possible. So far it has not done that, but then it's too soon to pass judgement. | |
