My Greenblatt First Quarter Stock Returns

Below is my Greenblatt value holdings return for Quarter 1 of 2009. Lots of red! Including cash, my return was minus 4.4%. Boooh.

The consolation is that I beat the Total Stock Market Index by 6.3% as the Total Stock Market fell by -10.7% over the quarter. I currently hold 6.2% in cash in my Greenblatt portfolio.

What saved me was my purchase of GT Solar on March 16. It was up more than 70% in the last two weeks of the quarter.
