Bankruptcy Candidates (short)

Bets on falling prices at companies showing serious signs of impending insolvency. At most half the capital is committed; the rest stays in cash. A position is closed as soon as it moves 25 percent against us, and after twelve months at the latest.

This portfolio bets on falling prices: it borrows shares, sells them and buys them back later. If the price rises, it loses.

Performance −2.91%
Lead over QQQ −8.01%
Largest drawdown −10.55%
Win rate 0%
Cash ratio 130.7%
Portfolio value $97,093

In a short sale, the portfolio borrows shares, sells them right away and receives the cash instantly. The buy-back debt is already subtracted from the portfolio value — that is why we show you a cash ratio above 100% here. It is not a mistake.

Performance against the yardsticks
