Backtest copying Brian Babin this year
What copying Brian Babin would have returned
$10,000 invested on 2016-07-18, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $22,585 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $36,909.
That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 21% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 2,594 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +26.9% a year against +13.5% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 13.4 percentage points ahead of the index.
Value of the whole copy portfolio including cash (teal) and of the same money in SPY (red), sampled across the period. Green dots are copied purchases and red dots copied sales (at most 300 are drawn).
