Well, my first foray into equity trading was not timed as well as it could have been. The beginning of January saw extreme losses, and as of today I am down ~11% overall. Here are my positions:
WMT
CAT
FO
HPQ
LLY
EWZ
I have had one realized gain of about 25%, and one realized loss of 7%, and everything unrealized is red. The way I see it, this trial by fire clearance sale of stocks will be the best framework for me to learn the ups and downs; they’re so much bigger, I have no choice!
I am getting ready to do some swing trading outside of the defense portfolio I have outlined above, in addition to some Mechanical Investing in my Roth IRA.
Wish me fortune,
Q
