[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.
