My market-beating model portfolio for ten years running is available exclusively to members of my mailing list at davidjwaldron.com.
On average, the portfolio's common stock holdings outperformed the S&P 500 for the quarter, one year, and since inception as of the June 30, 2019 update.
Despite a market-beating model portfolio for tens year running, I closed my paid subscription service on Seeking Alpha. The good news is access to the quarterly updates and narrative of The Self-Directed Investor Model Portfolio is now available free to members of my list at davidjwaldron.com.

America’s 1% Hasn’t Had This Much Wealth Since The Roaring Twenties
The author wrote: "As I’ve explained countless times (but nobody seems to listen)..."
Nobody's listening because Americans envy the wealthy. There is no other explanation of why the middle and working classes have been voting for tax cuts for the wealthy since the 1980s, despite the rich getting richer while the prospects of the middle/working classes have remained flat for close to 40 years.
Envy of the billionaire class leads to an ever-widening wealth gap and corresponding asset bubbles as much as anything.
Jesse, thanks for an excellent and timely piece.
