I Beat The Market in 2009

The stock market just closed for 2009, and I had a great year! I am very happy with my Stock Trading Riches system.

My portfolio is up 44%, compared to +19% for the Dow and +23.5% for the S&P500.

Here are my returns for the last 5 years vs. the S&P 500:

Year, Me, S&P 500

2005, +13%, +4.91%

2006, +14%, +15.79%

2007, +22%, +5.49%

2008, -40%, -38.49%

2009, +44%, +23.5%

I have thus had a cumulative five-year return of +35.79% vs. a loss of 2.66% for the S&P500.
