Twitter And Stocktwits Top 10 Follows Market Down

The Twitter Top 10 portfolio is down 2.91% since the new picks last week. This is slightly worse performance than the S&P 500 Index (SPX) which is down about 2.4%.  The under performance is mostly a result of Kandi Technologies (KNDI) which is down nearly 12%. Six of the stocks in the portfolio are performing better than SPX as the portfolio rotated to larger cap stocks when momentum stocks failed.

Below is a performance chart and details of the current holdings.

The StockTwits Top 10 portfolio continues to fall with the market. It is down 3.75% from last week’s new picks. The slide in relation to the S&P 500 Index (SPX) isn’t as severe as the March carnage due to some rotation to large cap and more defensive stocks.  Over half the stocks are down less than about 2%.  These stocks are holding up better than SPX. The one large laggard this month is SunPower (SPWR) which is down nearly 16% which accounts for much of the under performance.
