return on GPS stocks in a week

August 5th, 2007 · No Comments

well, on July 30, 2007, I put in order for 3 stocks that I believed are key in the GPS industry, with a total investment of $2100.

Stock Shares Cost/Share Market Price Gain % Change 
GRMN  10   86.54  98.66   121.20   14.01 
NVT  4   57.95   63.91   23.84  10.28 
TRMB 30  33.29   37.93  139.20  13.94 
    Total    284.24   13.56 

the main reason it jumped quite a bit is because investors are “surprised” by the increase in earning in the second quarter (reported this week). personally, I really don’t see how that could be a surprise.  my sense is that GPS device will become a hot item during the coming christmas season. such huge trend does not need a complicated model to predict.

i will come and post the results again in a month, while it is hard to predict shorter term outcome, my guess is that the value of my hypotheses-testing portfolio will double by the end of summer 2008.

again, the hypotheses I am testing is that the market is so inefficient in some segments that i can identify stocks that provide huge gain consistently without even running any financial models or relying on specific numbers normally used by stock-picking.
