1 year down the line, and we have 2 Wazua investor models:

Model 1: @Pretty
Perhaps the bear is actually a bull in disguise, perhaps we lost our concentration when all news became bad news, or perhaps @Pretty has been taking short positions.

Whatever it is, she is up 72%, with a networth of 859,950.83 (and fully invested)




Model 2: @ joshmoff
Having joined on 29th Jan 2011, joshmoff has succeeded in growing his 500k fortune to a good 211,581.10 (down 58%).

Now, lets give credit where its due. Over the same period, the NSE 20 has gone down from 4,497.14 to 3,357.66 (down 25%). If joshmoff invested in the index, he would be down 25%, but he has beaten the index by returning -58%.

It takes a lot of focus and careful selection of stocks to lose this kind of money.



If these losses are intended, then @joshmoff can make an excellent short-trader.


PS: Only 19 people are worth more than the initial 500k.
