I’ve been short for time this year and have only just got round to posting my 2024 results. I did work out the performance for 2024 but hadnt posted. I am now posting below. The way i track the performance means i can’t work out the price change Jan 1st 2024 to today – which might have been one solution for the late posting. I will post the picks for 2025 soon – and may have to measure performance from now (14/02/25 until 31/12/25) to get back in my regular annual cadence.
In summary, my discretionary shorts did slightly better than mechanical – and vica versa on the longs. Notably one of the mechanical shorts was up 122% – so with stop kind of stop losses that PF may also have beaten my discretionary PF.
FTSE 350 was up c. 5.8% over 2024.
Mech NAPS Long 2024
22.80% (i had to ignore the performance of ‘SNGR^L24Societatea Nationala de Gaze Naturale Romgaz SA’ as i cant work out why it was delisted or at what price – so assuming 0% change.
