True...you would have to split it up. However, before I found your board, I (and I'm sure many others) had developed my own personal trading goals/plan by something like this, although I used something more along the lines of 2 trades per month at 15-20%. You can do it a million ways obviously, but the whole point is this you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket.
So once you hit your comfort level you split again...maybe that's 2x your original investment. So using your chart starting with 10k, you split on month 5 into two "accounts" of 12k. Then you merely find 2 plays that will meet the criteria of 25% in a month. Not too hard, at least in terms of tracking. Now, in terms of timing and choosing the right stocks, that's a different story, but in terms of ability to track two separate money streams - very easy. And it repeats, month 8 you split again into 4 groups of 12k, etc.
Even after a year you're only dealing with 8 separate money streams, still not too overwhelming, and there's the real possibility that at that point your risk threshold has gone up. Also, there's the real possibility that after maintaining a disciplined approach to capturing "small" consistent gains, that when you find a hidden gem, you have a significant amount of capital to pour into it instead of having all of your funds tied up in "the next big stock" that you know probably has half a chance in hell of ever doing anything. I'm sure we've all been there.
The real value in this, for me, is that it shows me that it's ok to be satisfied with small gains, not to be greedy, and that if I would have started trading like this earlier, I would have way more shares of both SMKY and WNRC than I do because I would have had a lot more capital in the types of stock that it wouldn't get stuck in.
Sorry for the long post. I think this is a great board. Very excited about both SMKY and WNRC and also about using a disciplined investing strategy to really enhance my ability to maximize my investments in these hidden gems when they appear.
