APRIL 08 +1.3%
SINCE INCEPTION -23.5%
VS S&P500 -6.9%
WordPress, this blogging site, has changed their format. Previously it was easy to upload files, and they originally did not support MS Excel tables, so I was downloading the portfolio updates as MS Word files and creating a link to them under My Portfolio in the blogroll.
I’ve changed the formatting in my REAP tracking spreadsheet to display the results directly here in a table. Following the April 30 trading update, here are the month-end results for April 2008 in the new format.

| Portfolio Notes | |||||
| Inception date is when I started tracking portfolio performance in | |||||
| this blog. I track it to reflect total performance after initial mistakes | |||||
| and discretionary trading losses. A more accurate representation | |||||
| of REAP’s “pure” performance is as of 10 Oct 07, when I | |||||
| re-established it after selling out the portfolio twice due to | |||||
| sub-prime systemic concerns. | |||||
