Which portfolio should I trade?

I know it seems obvious that the best portfolio must be the one with the highest compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) which is the Acrux portfolio. It has a CAGR of 31.5% since 2007.  The problem with choosing this way is that you need to understand all of the statistics of the strategy.  For instance, this portfolio has an average of the 3 worst drawdowns of 16.3%. That’s the average. The worst drawdown was 22%.  And, Cesar and I have saying…

 

”the worst drawdown is the one that’s coming.”

 

We can’t tell you what portfolio to choose and you really have to know yourself.  If you have a large nest egg built up, and you have low risk tolerance, I would trade Shaula. This portfolio has had a CAGR of  19.4% and a maximum drawdown of 9.9% with an average of the 3 worst drawdowns of 9.4%.  This strategy is amazing.

Well where do the other 2 portfolios fit in your decision making, Acrux and Beetlejuice? Acrux did great during the 2008 meltdown with a return of 77%. While Beetlejuice has not had a losing year and on a rolling twelve month basis the worst return is positive 6.6% which is incredible.

If you look at your past trading and your emotions about trading, you already know the answer as to what is the best portfolio for you.
