Stock Return – Review of All Stock Picks
Just so no one thought I wasn’t making suggestions and ignoring them I wanted to review the share’s return for each stock pick that I have made on Learn The Stock Market And How To Trade since its inception a couple of months ago.
Here’s each stock return compared to the DOW Jones returns and S&P 500 returns:
| Stock | End of Day Price | Price Now | % G/L | S&P 500 | SP % | DOW | DOW% |
| PFE | 17.65 | 16.92 | -2% | 996.23 | -12% | 9447.11 | -9% |
| WEN | 3.97 | 4.28 | 8% | 909.92 | -3% | 8579.19 | 1% |
| LOW | 17.9 | 21.99 | 23% | 899.22 | -2% | 8629.68 | 0% |
| BA | 52.42 | 39.2 | -25% | 968.75 | -9% | 9319.83 | -7% |
| COP | 55.77 | 51.39 | -8% | 1005.75 | -13% | 9625.28 | -10% |
| CAT | 39.33 | 42.08 | 7% | 851.81 | 3% | 8443.39 | 2% |
| AIG | 2.01 | 1.8 | -10% | 896.24 | -2% | 8149.09 | 6% |
| F | 2.72 | 3.04 | 12% | 876.07 | 0% | 8635.42 | 0% |
| JNJ | 57.25 | 57.25 | 0% | 879.73 | 0% | 8629.68 | 0% |

| Average G/L | 0% |
| S&P Average | -4% |
| DOW Average | -2% |
| S&P Now | 879.73 |
| DOW Now | 8629.68 |
As you can see, if you bought equal dollars in each of the choices you’d be about broke even right now compared to -4% for the S&P 500 returns or -2% for the DOW Jones returns. Boeing (BA) has been my real dog of a choice (including in real life where they caused my company to have to slow down) and AIG is down compared to the market, though this isn’t unexpected. I believe Boeing will come back if they ever get their 787 up in the air.
Lowes (LOW) has done very well as well as Ford, though expect Ford to be quite volatile for awhile. If I was purely trading I’d probably take some profits from the F stock, but that’s hard to do in this blogging nature and I’ll go ahead and hold on to it. I’m also very happy with how PFE has held up, being the first stock pick, and when either the stock market turns or some of their new products make it through testing I expect very good returns still.
