[Edit: This post was corrected. Having troubles with the pricing database this week. I believe I've identified the issues...but time will tell. Most of the issues were a result of adding benchmark comparison functionality to the reporting engine. I haven't rolled out the front-end to this yet. But, once I'm sure all the issues are resolved, the stats will post with a comparison to the ETF benchmark IWV. Should always be roughly the same...but will be interesting if there are days that miss the mark.]

Portfolio Performance for August 2009

What a bad month for the portfolio. The S&P 500 is really trouncing me. And what's worse, I'm not quite sure the reason. I'm 98% invested in the market. And not trailing...actually delinking from the market. The coming months will shed more light on why the portfolio is zigging when the market is zagging.







On to other things...

You'll notice I'm posting Russell 3000 stats each day. And posting a weekly roundup each Sunday. These should become a regular thing since the whole process is now automated. Hopefully, I'll get a monthly roundup setup as well to start posting the end of this September.

At this point, not a whole lot is being tracked on the daily stats. My main goal is to use the stats as a way to ensure my pricing database is correct. At the end of the daily stats post, you'll find the following line:
Price verification found 0 errors

This line represents that out of all the Russell 3000 end of day quotes posted...none of the following errors were found for a given period:
pricerec['high'] is not less than pricerec['low']

pricerec['low'] is not greater than pricerec['high']

pricerec['close'] is not greater than pricerec['high']

pricerec['open'] is not greater than pricerec['high']

pricerec['close'] is not less than pricerec['low']

pricerec['open'] is not less than pricerec['low']

pricerec['low'] is not equal to or less than 0.00

pricerec['high'] is not equal to or less than 0.00

pricerec['close'] is not equal to or less than 0.00

pricerec['open'] is not equal to or less than 0.00

The daily stats posting also lists the number of stocks that did not receive a price quote for the day via this field:
Total Inactive this period = 0

And new listings...which are not as important for the Russell 3000 since these should only change once a year.

Of course, you can see the number of new all-time highs and lows along with a link to google finance for the corresponding stocks.

Overall, these daily stats are just an easy way to keep up with the price database each day. A stock market dashboard, if you will. With the overall goal of incorporating a portfolio dashboard into these daily stats in order to answer the question...why is my portfolio delinking from the market? Ha.

One last thing, tomorrow is my 15 year wedding anniversary. It has been a great 15 years...many all-time highs along with a few rough drawdowns. Exactly what life and investing are all about. What's funny is my wife and I were discussing our past anniversaries:

• our 5 year we stayed in Galveston and they evacuated the island due to a hurricane.
• our 10 year we stayed in a b&b in Kemah that at first looked remote and enchanting set off on its own peninsula. Which quickly turned into isolated and horror movie'esque..that is after big honkin' wharf rats scattered about outside all night long.

This anniversary we plan to keep it simple, just stay home. Of course, this upcoming front system could bring a tornado with our luck. Ha. Regardless, to my wife...thank you for the dance.

“The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.” -- Hugh Walpole Sr.

Basketball and The Theory of Networks - Bet this applies to star performers at work as well. It's all about the bottlenecks. If you have a guru at work - logically the thought is we can't live without him/her. True? Would we instead be better off without him/her? Something to think about.

How Dragon Kings Could Trump Black Swans - what's interesting is I had several extensive discussions regarding this topic today. Then found this post tonight. Now I have a name for those extreme events - Dragon Kings.

I'm updating this post to include Covel's recent link, Nobel Prize Winner Vernon Smith on Bubbles. This type of stuff fascinates me. Covers why history never quite repeats and why we keep thinking it does.

Portfolio Performance for July 2009

Another month in the green. Let's hope we can keep the momentum going for the portfolio. Still getting trounced by the market, but hopefully I'll start catching up now that 100% of the portfolio is invested.









On to system development news...
I'm deep in the heart of testing all the changes made to the backtesting engine. Most of the simulation output was converted from plain text (csv) files to sqlite tables. This option will broaden the front-end options available to the platform. Testing should wrap up by the end of August. Then I can start sharing some of the results on this blog.

Portfolio Performance for June 2009

June was a great month, both personally and for the portfolio. My family and I headed off to Texas for a few weeks to spend time with family and escape to the hill country for some good old R&R.

It was great visiting with everyone, checking out the beautiful Texas scenery, and enjoying some great food. There's a place in Liberty called Jax that served great catfish and an equally great ambiance. The restaurant is just across the street from the courthouse...so the place is the true heartbeat of the town. Could have been a setting out of a John Grisham novel. Very cool.

The picture taken to above was a rainbow we caught on our way back from dinner just before sunset. Felt it was appropriate considering the portfolio beat the market for the first month since February.



Not obvious in the above chart, but the S&P 500 returned only 0.02% for the month of June. And the portfolio returned 1.58%. Not much to brag about but nice to breathe some air for a month.


For the month of June, the portfolio is approximately 21% in cash which is quickly dropping due to the high number of signals received in the month of July.

As far as the portfolio simulation engine...I've had some exciting progress this past month.It really helped getting some quiet time. Each morning, I would get my coffee, sit out on the front porch, watch the hummingbirds go to war, the doves get lovey, and hack away on the simulation engine. I've created a new database that utilizes the Python's struct module for binary storage, SQLite for storing pointers to the records, and Numpy for field named record access. The best part is the database requires very little memory, has a small disk footprint, and is faster than anything I've worked with before. Previously, using a database of any kind was not an option. The aha moment was in realizing the bottleneck in performance was due to the number of records stored not the size of the records. Therefore, my main goal was to reduce the number of rows in the table and scale horizontally in the table versus vertically. This drastically reduced the lookup time.

Now, I'm in the process of refining the reporting engine and building a price series plotting framework with Matplotlib and Numpy. So, far the results look very promising. Nice to finally get some pretty charts to the simulation engine instead of a clunky MS Excel interface. Still more work ahead.

Heck, I've made so much progress sitting out watching those birds in the morning that I came home and started on a flower garden in our backyard. I've just finished tilling up the dirt and planting a few plants. We've already got hummingbirds fighting and a squirrel trying to figure out how to open that bird feeder. Now, I just need to get to hacking!

R on Stack Overflow...

Funny, I was working through a problem in R today and was seriously wishing R had the same presence as python over at Stack Overflow. Looks like others have this wish as well...and they're doing something about it.

In concert with users online across the country, this session will lead a flashmob to populate Stack Overflow with R language content.

Very cool! Check out R on Stack Overflow. And post those questions!
