Regret Portfolio Update (by Fayssoux)

By -

In April I posted two portfolios of deep value stocks
selected near the lows of 2008 and early 2009 that had produced breathtaking
gains from a buy and hold perspective.  I
was kicking myself for getting out of these stocks way too early in the
historic bull run.  One of the portfolios
was suggested by Tim on 3/13/09.  Where
is this portfolio today?  It has been
dented, but it is still up roughly 220% in 14 months.

Clearly, there are large amounts of capital
gains (now long term) sitting in the market, particularly in small caps, after
an incredible run.  There is also a
recent memory of the meltdown for those with a long term buy and hold
perspective.  Inference = we could see
much more selling than we have experienced so far if holders of small cap value
stocks decide to exit en masse
