To be exact, TIM finished the month up $2,098, or 15.09%, to $16,006. A new record high. Wooo hooo! I’m finally getting the hang of trading like a poor person again. Feels good to be the underdog. Makes me work harder. More importantly, website traffic also surged 15% on the month—every day now there are more than 3,000 people trying to determine if I have any reason to be this cocky or if I’m just full of it. Despite these gains and my now nearly 30% return since November, the jury’s still out. Sure, people are learning, my readers are profiting, transparency is waaaaaay up, but the data sample is still too small to truly draw any conclusions. No doubt website traffic was also helped considerably by this funky fresh new site design, which debuted on February 4th and was designed by the man himself, Pallian.
And just wait ‘til you guys see what we have in store—there’s now 19, yes, literally 19, projects under development for this site, namely TIMtv and TIMradio, so stay tuned…things are gonna get a little locooooooo…
As I mentioned in this post, a 15% monthly return is niiiice, especially when all the major averages are down 3, 4 and 5% (Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq, respectively) and other people, who continue to look down on my strategy without bothering to learn the details, are losing their shirts, but when my account is this small, I can never let up. Not even for an instant. Never underestimate where hard work and determination will take you. If you love what you do, it’s not work, it’s life. The good life. I’m living the good life.
