Julia Letlow: stock trades

Would copying Julia Letlow’s trades have beaten the S&P 500?

Copying Julia Letlow’s disclosed holdings (starting from the holdings in each annual disclosure report once it was published, then adding purchases and taking off sales as each trade report became public, sized by the amounts reported, with call options counted as the stock until they expired) would have turned $10,000 on January 14, 2026 into $11,299 by November 2, 2026, against $11,043 in the S&P 500: +16.5% a year against +13.3%, with a beta of 0.93. Selling each purchase after 6 months instead would have made +14.7% a year. Six months after each report, the average share purchase was −2.3% against the S&P 500 (median −6.0%), and 38% beat it, too few months of reports to tell skill from luck. Measured from the trade date instead, the member’s own timing, the average was −1.7%. Reports arrived a median of 250 days after the trade. 51 purchases had already been sold in full by the time they were reported, so a follower could not copy them; the averages below still count every purchase.

“Average vs S&P 500” is the stock’s return including dividends minus the index’s over the same dates. For sales, a negative figure means the stock lagged after it was sold, so selling was the right call (green). “Went the right way” is the share of purchases that beat the index, or of sales that trailed it. The t-statistic treats each trade as a separate bet; the Evidence label is stricter and uses one average per month of reports, because trades bunch together. Trades in companies we cover only. The averages count share trades; the copy portfolio also counts call options as the stock and sizes positions by the middle of each band filed. No trading costs or taxes. These are the stocks’ moves after each trade: they say nothing about why Julia Letlow traded and do not suggest the use of non-public information. How every member compares.

Every company we cover that appears in the reports. “Since first purchase” is the stock’s move from the close on the member’s first disclosed purchase to the latest close, against the S&P 500; it is not the member’s return.
