Jul 3rd Trading Log (Premarket & Trading Plan):
I’ve been losing money for six weeks from both the bond and stock markets rising, and oil stocks remaining low, while oil prices rise. What worked well for many months, stopped and reversed. I’ll be trading the same stocks (no new positions) to take advantage of volatility, bail-out, and build-up cash. Eventually, I expect bonds or stocks or both to fall sharply, perhaps around earnings in July or the FOMC announcement July 31st. Unfortunately, I may continue to lose money till then, which has already been longer than I expected. The portfolio stop loss lowered, which I can live with.
My portfolio is about $585,000 including $220,700 in cash.

Portfolio at $100,000 on Mar 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss lowered to $500,000. Stop loss will be strictly enforced and extreme caution will be taken if triggered to avoid large losses and preserve capital in "irrational" market periods. |
