Portfolio is up 322% for the Year

It’s been a great year so far.  I was doing a video and happened to mention my portfolio gains for the year and estimated it to be around 300 percent.  Knowing that it was just an estimate, I decided to look it up for real to get the actual gains.  I trade four portfolio’s all in my name but with different strategies each.  So the total gains are not per portfolio, but for all four of the portfolios combined.

To my surprise, my actual gains for the year was above 300 percent.  It was 322 percent.  This is absolutely amazing.  I really had an amazing year with plenty of ups and downs.  It was one helluva rollercoaster ride.  Even though the gains were extremely high, you have to remember if you were to just hold and S&P 500 fund from the market lows in March 2020, you would be up 60%.  That was the point to where I was trading hard and mostly on the right side of the trade.  I am actually one of the Robinhooder’s that the professional traders have been talking about except I don’t use Robinhood for my trades. I do have a Robinhood account though to where I use to trade actively but mostly buy and hold type strategies.

So you might ask, what is this post all about?  It’s about staying consistent with your trading plan, and even though the market may tread treacherous waters, be persistent.  While doing so, before you know it; your gains will take care of itself.  It feels like I lose money everyday, but I’m not.  What is happening though is my gains are outweighing my loses.  In this market or any market, you will lose money.  The key is to make sure you gain more that you lose.  It’s really that simple.  I honestly, that’s all I did.

All of my trades have been posted on my Youtube channel.  I always talk about the trades that I am in and always trade just a small handful of stocks.  You don’t have to go crazy with the watchlist.  Just keep it simple.
