May 2023 Investing and Trading Report

Another month is over and it was a successful month to our investing and trading. We finished options trading on a positive note (added $6,942 of premiums income) but we also added new shares to our portfolio and started consolidating it (finally, we started creating cash reserves which were depleted during 2022 bear market). Our Continue reading →
