I am still a bull

摘要

A time for reflection: Every January Forbes asks its columnists to review their past year's recommendations—winners and losers—and to tell readers which positions to hold and which to fold. I had a fortunate year. If you had bought every one of the 86 recommendations made here (some stocks were recommended more than once), you would be 12% ahead of someone who had made identical investments in the s&p 500 on the same dates. On this scorecard, moreover, my picks are docked 1% for commission costs but the hypothetical index holdings are not.
