The "Virtual Portfolio" Update

On September 20, 2012 I updated my portfolio with new stocks, ETF, Mutual Funds and increased cash to $10 Billion dollars. I also stopped "Day Trading", instead picking sound investments for the long term.

One benefit of the change was accumulation of dividends...$ Millions of dollars in dividends, which obviously didn't happen trading daily or sitting out a down turn.

As I mentioned, on September 20, 2012...the value was $10 Billion.... today's Market close, the net...$10,639,393,736.  Actual gain 9.33%...Lifetime.  

I''ve used these same strategies in my real portfolio with similar results...percentage wise...LOL. not money wise, unfortunately.
