Goldman Sachs Conviction Buy List Update 8.12.2010
Thursday, August 12, 2010 at 6:47PM Here is my current version of the Goldman Sachs Conviction Buy list. This particular portfolio tracker was started on 4/9/2010. This particular tracking is done with a simple Google search for goldman+sachs+conviction emailed to me each day. When I receive notification of a change, I enter the trade in the tracking system at the closing price. All taxes and trading fees are ignored. Given the unsophisticated method of tracking, it is possible that certain recomendations will be missed which will cause a variation in performance versus the actual conviction buy list.
