Portfolio 1999 - 2001
A portfolio experiment was run by Astraea from the end of 1999 to the end of 2001 to learn and test the dynamics of online trading.
That portfolio had a net return of approximately -25% per annum, which
matched the markets in which it was active (see charts below). The strategy
was not particular and generally picked a handful of interesting companies
which were held for short and long terms. (There was no particular green
strategy, except a conscious decision not to sell and short sell was made
at 8.54am 11 September 2001.)
