The key to this portfolio is my focus on exploiting opportunities where the small investor has the advantage. I'm proud of my returns, but I'm no where near the Buffett benchmark of being able to generate 50% annualized returns for a portfolio smaller than $1 million. I've made several mistakes along the way and I still have a lot of learning to do. Regardless, thanks for the congratulations. I never dreamed that my experiment that I started in 2004 would turn out this well. If you are interested in my portfolio, I encourage you to go back to the first post about the <a href="http://www.fatpitchfinancials.com/19/coverdell-esa-account-bought-425-asaa/" rel="nofollow">Special Situations Real Money Portfolio</a> that I wrote back in October of 2004.
