Sell: A.O. Smith (AOS)
From 2 for 1 Stock Split Newsletter
Updated from WSBI 743, May 22, 2013
After last month’s pass, and after leading the 2 for 1 Index for almost five years, we will finally sell A.O. Smith (AOS) early next week. This stock has been a real winner for the portfolio since the day it was added to the index in 11/2010.
It split a second time while we owned it, thus its extra long tenure in the portfolio. Annualized returns are hard to calculate because there were two partial sales but, overall, our initial investment returned 162%. The Vanguard 500 Index Fund returned 93% over the same period.
