Closed a lot of unprofitable and not so well thought out investments and in 3 weeks have gone from underperforming all indexes by 3%(monthly) to outperforming all indexes to around 3%.

Nice turn around. I sure can't complain with my 50% inception return.

The fact that you got a 19% return last month tells me I still have a lot to learn though.

Here are my buy lists. I'm posting a new one tomorrow. So maybe you might want to check them out. The top 10 are what my portfolio consists of. You also can't discount the market itself is in an uptrend, so that plays a part. But if you choose the right stocks, when the market uptrends, your own portfolio can beat the market's gains by double digits. I'm beating it by 30+%. Wait until tomorrow when I post my new buy list, if you want to use it.

I kind of wish the market was open 7 days a week.

For all you value investors out there, take a look at "Long-term Equity AnticiPation Securities" or LEAPS. Instead of buying the stock itself, buy a call option that expires more than a year from now. That's all they are. Long-dated stock options. So you could buy 100 shares of stock at $12 for $1200. Or you could just buy say $200-300 on a long-dated call option and limit your downside risk to just $200-300 while taking advantage of unlimited upside potential in addition to the leverage such a security gives you. Leverage as in, for every 1 point move up the stock makes, the option may go up two or three times as much. With $1000 you could get exposure to 3 stocks and still have some cash left over. Otherwise, if you are just going to buy the stock itself, you really could buy much. If you wanted 100 shares, the stock would have to be less than $10, you could only really buy 1 stock. Anyways, google it.

LEAPS

Also, I highly recommend this book, basically the holy bible of stock options which I think are more exciting than stocks.

Options As A Strategic Investment by L. G. McMillan

Don't even think about touching options until you get this book.
