My Portfolio

It has been a mighty long time since I have updated everyone on the state of my portfolio. Now that I have
been more active and focusing much more on my options trading. I am trying to stick to my rule where if I see
a 20% gain, I sell to crystalize the profits. I don’t always stick to it – which has gotten me into some trouble –
but I am now more inclined to be mentally strong. Especially after my GE fiasco. You’ll see.



Without any further ado! Here is a breakdown of all the option trades I have made since my very first.
September through today.

Since the table is boring, let me break it down a bit more. In September, I made $96.59.
October brought me $107.59. November, I made $ 338.71. December, I returned $844.47. January, I currently
have lost $24.62. Since the beginning of trading options, I have made a total of $1,362.74 with an average
return of 17.16%. My grandest mistake on this list is GE. I bought at the first bottom and beginning of the new
year rally. It was up 20%. I didn’t sell. You can see where it got me. Never again with a company riddled with
question marks.

Anyway. There is the table to outline all of my trades and my current open ones as well. I didn’t get into the
contracts specifically this time, but if there are enough views, or at least a marginal amount of interest I’ll
start going more in depth for future buys and sells.
