NFL Stocks - Revisited

Last February I published the NFL Stock Portfolio.

Back then, its 12 month return was an impressive 70%.




Lets see how it, and the stock market, has done over the past 6 months.

DOW Jones Industrial Average Return = 4.2%
NASDAQ Average Return = 5.9%

NFL Stock Portfolio Return = 18%

At this rate, I think I might just switch official watch lists.

The Official Fumbled Returns NFL Stock Portfolio is not made up of companies who have sports related products, or sponsorships, but rather stocks that have symbols which look like they could represent a particular team.

This is my version of the monkey throwing darts theory of picking stocks and it seems to be doing quite well.

As one might imagine, it was a bit difficult to actually come up with a symbol which easily could be related to an NFL franchise abbreviation or location. But I did manage to come up with one for each team. In some cases, I have alternates listed as well. I have counted these towards the average return for the watch list.

You can look up your favorite team stock symbol below to see how they have done.
