What copying Gary Palmer would have returned

$10,000 invested on 2018-09-29, buying and selling the same stocks 3 days after each filing became public, ended at $24,211 on 2026-11-09. The same money in the S&P 500 (SPY) ended at $26,916.

That headline is diluted by cash: on average only 69% of the money was invested, because the portfolio holds a few small positions. On the 2,037 days it did hold stocks, the copied holdings returned +15.1% a year against +13.1% for the S&P 500 over the same days: 2.0 percentage points ahead of the index.
