Best Picks List 2013 - My Holdings (Part 3)

How Am I Doing

My model portfolio is up 26.8% YTD (non risk adjusted) in 2013. Note that I started this portfolio with stocks bought on 01/01/2013. During the same time-frame, S&P 500 has managed 17.7% return (YTD). My current portfolio with 20 stocks right now has outperformed the S&P 500 YTD by 9.1% YTD (910 bps as of 10/03/2013)!

Here are my top 4 performers this year YTD: Cheniere Energy (LNG), ServiceNow (NOW), Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD) and Under Armor (UA), all averaging around 70% YTD.
