CymorFund Stock Pick Record – 2014

Our 2014 Record So Far

We started on January 1, 2014 with 13 stocks held.  These were all Stock Picks during 2013 that were not sold in 2013, and were held on January 1, 2014.

So far, in the 18 days of January 2014, this portfolio has had a 16% increase, which is quite remarkable.

We ended 2013, with an annualized gain of 33%.  In a terrible year, where most portfolios were devastated, we did well.

Hopefully in 2014, we will do better. In the early days of 2013, there was a disastrous fall in the value of all junior stocks, with some stocks losing as much as 90% of their value. We did not escape this carnage. Our 2nd Stock Pick way back on February 8, 2013 was Scorpio, which fell from $0.95 to $0.18. In spite of this carnage, we still did well.

In our opinion, 2014 will be a far more positive year, and we have our eyes on a number of potential Stock Picks which we will publish.

  • Premium subscribers will have instant access.
  • Basic subscribers will see these Stock Picks on a delayed basis, usually after the gains have been achieved.
