Description

PORTFOLIO INVESTING BY RON BERTINO
Portfolio investing – Get steady and consistent returns with low drawdowns,?spending just 20 mins per month.

The main aim of this course is to explain all of those technical financial terms in a way that is simple and easy to understand.
Many of the concepts are explained visually, and we focus on understanding the core idea without getting deep into the weeds.
We focus on things that are practical, and are later applied onto the analysis of real portfolios.
We will build some spreadsheets together, step by step, in order to make sure that the concepts and calculations are fully understood and internalized.
We?ll make use of some extremely powerful and functional online tools that can automate much of the portfolio analysis, and all without needing to write a single line of code.
In the course we?ll cover around a dozen or so pre-made portfolios that you can start off with. Additional portfolios and trading strategy ideas will be added over time, as our community continues to grow and share ideas.

SPREADSHEETS AND AUTOMATION
We will jointly construct spreadsheets that reinforce the concepts presented in the course, using the free Google Sheets technology.
Stock analysis spreadsheet
We will:

import historical data from multiple sources
calculate arithmetic and log returns (standard and cumulative)
create a performance graph in both linear and log scale
calculate and graph drawdowns
calculate various performance and risk stats such as: arithmetic and geometric mean, variance, standard deviation, downside deviation, Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, Value-At-Risk, Skew, Kurtosis
create a pivot table and bar graph showing the historical monthly seasonal performance
display return frequencies and map that to a normal distribution curve in order to be able to visualize skew and kurtosis

(Don?t worry if all of the above terms sound complicated to you right now. By the end of the course, you?re going to be crystal clear on what they mean and how they work)
Conversion spreadsheets
The first spreadsheet will take output from one of the online portfolio backtesting tools we will use, and then convert the output into a clean time series, which we can then analyze in more detail.
The second spreadsheet will do something very similar, but will take calendar style returns as the input and then convert it into a clean time series for further analysis.
Comparison spreadsheet
This spreadsheet will take the log returns of the clean time series data we have now created, and will show the results of two different portfolios side by side, together with stats comparing the two.
Google Apps Script automation code
One of the aims of this course is to present everything without getting into any programming code.
That said, I have created some Google Apps Script automation code which will greatly assist with some of the above steps, in terms of the conversion and comparison spreadsheets I?ve mentioned above.
I do not get into explaining any of the Google Apps Script code within the course, but I do make the source code fully available, for anyone who wishes to use it as a reference for their own spreadsheet automation work.
