Also See Our Q&A Page.Q: What is the difference between the Top Picks Portfolio and the GSA Live Portfolio? A: Here is a clarification between the Top Picks Portfolio and the GSA Live Portfolio.
The former is a model portfolio where new Top Picks are included to comprise 5% of the portfolio. Then, the logic in the model takes over and figures out when to pyramid (buy another 5%), and when to sell. Often, if the model portfolio is fully invested, a new Top Pick won\'t be included, as was the case with Baidu (BIDU).
The latter is our Live Portfolio, where we actively manage the positions, making buy-sell decisions ourselves. Emotions are involved, and every trading rule that we follow hasn\'t been programmed into the model. So, the holdings over time will be different from the Top Picks Portfolio. Further, our initial position in any new name is at 10% of the portfolio, so there will be fewer names than the model. We also find it difficult to watch 10 names closely, and are considering limiting our live portfolio to only 8 names (12.5% each). Too much diversification = "diworsification". Risk reduction, in our view, is better achieved by knowing your stocks well, and watching them like a hawk. << Previous Q&A Next Q&A >>
