Account Net-Liq: $5,339.34 SPX value: 3,215.63 Shiller PE: 29.97 Markets continued down again today, as of this entry, S&P was down 0.84%.

Account Net-Liq: $5,287.47 SPX value: 3,235.66 Shiller PE: 30.16 In the morning that market rallied. So I rolled my SPX trade higher again.

Account Net-Liq: $$5,340.51 SPX value: 3,251.57 It is becoming quite frustrating that the market rallies again. It is weird.

How come we sold off Continue reading →

Account Net-Liq: $5,202.02 SPX value: 3,224.73 Expecting the new week and hope the market will be favorable to my trades. I hope to repair my SPX trade and make money on the existing open trades.

Account Net-Liq: $5,202.02 SPX value: 3,224.73 When I realized that I would not be a good trader and needed to take a different approach, I decided to set the following goal for 2020: 1) invest in high-quality dividend stocks (aristocrats) and reach 100 of those stocks 2) collect dividends on those high-quality stocks 3) sell Continue reading →
