PSDS Portfolio Stress Test 7-31-2015

This is a work in progress. PSDS simulation software has the ability to simulate the failure of a portfolio in the period covered by the Market data in the scan; here 5 years. The elasticity and strength of materials is my background and I have used PSDS software for stress testing my portfolio in retirement.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals 401k Plan PSDS Scan 7-31-2015

This is the largest 5yr Company Stock  APR% I have seen. It was down sharply in 2016 which is not covered in this design scan that used 7-31-2015 market data.

If VRX is removed from the portfolio the Balanced Portfolio scan data are APR = 12.90
STD = 6.88 and PSR = 1.87. That's all for now.

A Cerner Corp.Retirement Portfolio PSDS Scan 7-31-2015


After posting this Scan I noticed VGT not VGK was used in the portfolio.  VGT covers information technology not European REIT investments. The last 5 years VGT investments have out performed VGK investments.






After VGT was changed to VGK the scan changed a little as seen below

A Gilead Sciences "Index Fund" Retirement Portfolio PSDS Scan 7-31-2015

The SEC 11-k report for GILD was hard to track down. I think Fidelity is their fund trustee but I am not sure and I designed this portfolio based on Fidelity and Vanguard Index Funds posted in the New York Times and WSJ on 4-10-2016.  I also included company stock GILD which is a well above average stock.
