The R.I.P. Portfolio's Q3 2021 Update

Summary:

This real-money portfolio was first introduced to the Seeking Alpha community in December 2015.
The portfolio underperformed its benchmark in Q3 2021 but it is currently outperforming the S&P 500's performance since late 2015.
The portfolio was overweight Financials and Industrials heading into 2020 and that turned out to be a terrible decision early last year due to the fallout from COVID-19.
However, the portfolio has sharply recovered from the March 2020 lows. And looking ahead, I believe that this portfolio is well-positioned for the next few years.

The Retire In Peace portfolio, or R.I.P. portfolio, was first introduced to the Seeking Alpha community in December 2015, and I have published quarterly articles that captured the activity and performance of the portfolio since that point in time. The companies that I write about on SA are largely the holdings of the R.I.P. portfolio, so the main purpose for the quarterly articles is to allow for my SA followers to track the performance of the stocks that I write about on this platform.
