A couple months ago I decided to start tracking my portfolio performance publicly.
I decided to do it for the following reasons:
I can't hide a drawdown or lie about my performance when it’s automatically updated daily in a public forum. It keeps me honest.
It also prevents me from making excuses. I can’t push stuff off when my performance is public. I need to keep progressing and working hard to ensure my performance continues to improve .
It also helps me understand when my portfolio performs well and when it struggles. It helps me figure out where to expand next.
I used to do all my portfolio performance tracking by hand. Now I have it auto updating every day with more data than I could ever calculate by hand. I can directly use that data to make informed portfolio decisions.
