Over the same time period, the S&P 500 index was up 4.45%.

At the end of November, the HEDGEfolios universe consisted of 3,544 stocks.

Commentary: HEDGEfolios had an average of 58% DOWN signals during November and advanced approximately 3% while the S&P 500 lost half its YTD gains. I am happy with the performance but the massive volatility made November one of the most challenging months since I started HEDGEfolios. I’ve added a performance chart (above) and will be discussing it in greater detail over the next few days.
