And stronger than ever!
It’s been awhile since the last post – I freaked out when my account started to tank soon after I started this blog. But now I’m back testing the financial gods again.
Won’t dwell on the past too much, but the account had dipped all the way down to $7K and I had received a margin call. So moving forward, I’m trying not to leverage up too much – trying to stay in the game. This bull market has another 10 years to run – and you gotta be in it to win it.
I also took out $5K and placed it in a Savings account – to my surprise, the check actually showed up from my sketchy account merchant.
New format to the blog:
* Will post current positions and value each week
* I’m going to discuss each position and the reasoning behind it in upcoming posts
* I’ll try to link more to commodity news in the market – it’s tough to find, so I’d like to begin to aggregate everything here for all to see
