What copying Ed Whitfield would have returned
$10,000 invested on 2014-05-14, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $47,291 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $42,492.
That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 92% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 3,139 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +12.5% a year against +12.4% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 0.1 percentage points ahead of the index.
