This is a repost from the value microcaps board, which I wrote, although this is a little more stock specific then I would like to put on this board this gives you an Idea of how the value microcaps have done in Q1, and this is my little index of how this style of investing is doing.
Value Microcaps list with Q1 returns
Notes:
1) All stocks here are microcaps.
2) These stocks have been accepted by the board as value, or were considered value in the beginning of the year.
3) Rate of Return was done by the sum of all the returns divided by the 100 issue here, To get an average return.
4) Although these are not all the stocks we talk about they are a nice size microcosm of our stock universe.
5) These stocks represent a broad range of sectors and give us a good idea how the value microcaps have performed so far.

Commentary: As you can see although the market has suffered a decline the value microcaps as a whole have done well this year. And although the past month hasn't been the best this index of value microcaps have returned roughly 20% in the first quarter. These stocks were picks mostly by other board memebers and have been perceived by value either in the beginning of the year or are percieved to be value right now.
