For those who don’t know, Covestor is a portfolio sharing service where tens of thousands of self directed investors share their real trades. You can also follow them live for free. If you find a successful investor, you can even replicate their trade activities on your account.

As you can see in the picture above, our return month-to-date is 13%. Our return since inception is 15.46%. The inception is actually February 2010 when we opened our account and imported our transactions from our broker. Unfortunately, there was a technical difficulty with our account; so it wasn’t ready until last week.
