Ironic that in a video where I describe the activity level of the Model Portfolio is taking more time from the learning aspect and more into maintenance, that I am having limited time Monday morning to make, edit, upload, and process the weekly video before I need to leave for work. This morning was not successful in that. I think I am going to need to switch it to Sundays.
As I mentioned in my last entry on Weighting, I have added a weight by income column for the Investing account spreadsheet. This will highlight a concern that dividend income investors need to keep in mind. My current concern isnt with the difference between ERF and WMT but in my bond position. Between PCY and JNK I have 45% of my income coming in from bonds. Not a big issue since that will be resolved with future positions, 10 new ones coming up this year. That will smooth out the weights.
For trading I split the demo trading spreadsheet profit/loss column into two separate ones. This was to make the formulas a bit easier. Because the profit and loss was in the same column I could not easily calculate them automatically. Now I can. More importantly to me though is that I figured out the formula for calculating the required accuracy I need vs my current risk/reward ratio. This will show more the relationship between risk/reward and accuracy and how they work together.
The profit right now for trading isn't in actual dollars even for fake dollars in a demo account. Its in gaining experience and tools to carry forward.
