Our Portfoilo Progress Report

It's been awhile since I last updated.  I've been busy with school and did not get a chance to update my portfolio recommendations.  Although I haven't been updating my list via posts, I had been changing the portfolio widget on the right side of this website page (HDA's Portfolio).  Last year was a great year for all investors so my gains was nothing to be proud of.  However, I still want to show how we did so far with our long term holds.

Here's the break down:

Symbol	Company Name	Buy Price($)	Current Price($)	% gain
INVN	Invensense	11.87	21.69	82.7
ADNC	Audience, Inc.	16.28	10.67	-34.5
AMBA	Ambarella, Inc.	16.79	29.46	75.5
SYNA	Synaptics, Inc.	38.77	57.03	47.1
HIMX	Himax Tech., Inc.	6.48	14.41	122.4
			Average % gain	58.6

As you can see, our progress for midterm (half to one year) gain was not so shabby - average at 58.6%.  I still believe these companies will hold up well in the current market.  This only miss was ADNC, which didn't do as well as expected and did not go through M&A.  However, I believe ADNC will pick up in the future.  INVN is still my top holds since it has a big growth potential going forward to 2015 and on.  Therefore, I recommend buying INVN for long term.  As for AMBA, SYNA, HIMX, you could choose to sell for short term or hold for long term, depending on how well the google glass and smart phone sector is doing and if they remain as market leader in their specialty.

Have fun trading this year.
