| All year long, I encouraged readers to step up to the plate. In February, I was interviewed by longtime subscriber and bestselling author Bill O'Reilly. Bill is a no-nonsense guy who rarely misses an opportunity to get right to the point. He didn't ask me about the near-term outlook for the economy, interest rates, inflation or the market. (Perhaps he already knows that I'm not Miss Cleo at the Psychic Network.) Instead, he got very direct: "Alex, what are you doing with your own money?" And so I told him, as I recounted in my column "Why Bear Markets Are an Investor's Best Friend": I'm buying high-quality stocks, just like I have in every market downturn over the last 40 years, including the crash of '87, the Gulf War bear market in 1990, the dot-com bust, the post-9/11 meltdown, the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, and the COVID collapse in 2020. I continued to touch on this theme throughout the year as the market gyrated. However, I also took the time to share my thoughts on... - The Three Essentials for Higher Investment Returns
- Professional Investors Are Bad... but Amateurs Are Even Worse
- How to Get Rich... With Dividends

- The Problem With Woke Capitalism
- Why You Are Richer Than the Wealthiest American Ever
- The Bubble I Never Thought I'd See
- Why the Stagnation of the Middle Class Is a Myth

- Why Memory Dividends Generate the Highest Returns

My hope is these columns made my readers money, saved them money, or at least made them stop and think. OK, so what did I get wrong? If you're one of them - an Oxford Club Member - you know our portfolios are doing well. As I write, all 11 positions in our Oxford Trading Portfolio are profitable, with gains of as much as 116%. All eight of the positions in our Profit Accelerator Portfolio are profitable, with gains of as much as 74%. All six of the positions in our Oxford All-Star Portfolio are profitable, with gains of as much as 716%. And all 10 recommendations in our Gone Fishin' Portfolio are profitable, with gains of as much as 654%. These numbers above don't tell the whole story, however, because we stopped out of some stocks at a loss during the past year. (That's hard to avoid in a market that has been as volatile as this one over the last 12 months.) There are also plenty of stocks that we sold for a profit.
