$39,494.18 | Moonshot Growth Overview

It’s been a few weeks since I updated you on my portfolio. The good news – my Roth IRA has grown in value by over $2,000 in the last few weeks!

The S&P 500, DJIA and Nasdaq have all hit all-time highs within the last few weeks and my investments have also rode the wave up. Here’s how my portfolio compares to the S&P since its inception on November 3rd excluding dividends. Below you can see my calculations. For my portfolio, I have to take my dividend gains out of my overall performance for a fair comparison to the S&P.

• S&P 500 Portfolio: + 9.89% ((339.18 – 308.66) / 308.66 ) x 100
• My Portfolio: + 12.6% (((39,494.18 – 128.67) – 34,960.42)) / 34,960.42 x 100

The above results are great so far. The conclusion? I am solidly beating the market a month into my experiment. The Moonshot growth section of my portfolio has been the main driver of my portfolio beating the S&P. These are the high-risk, high-reward stocks in my portfolio that I plan to highlight today.

For those reading this article before reading about the strategy of this portfolio, I’ll share a snippet from my original post that details the purpose of Moonshot Growth.

Moonshot Growth (20% of my portfolio) – This group of companies has massive growth potential. Often overvalued and rarely carrying a dividend, these companies are high risk, high reward. I plan to diversify this section of my portfolio to many different companies with huge growth potential to spread out the risk a bit. Will this section of my Roth IRA crash and burn or take me to the moon?
