July was a damn good month in which I finished up 15.9%, or just under $3,500, to $23,485, just a bit under the critical $25,000 asset barrier. What’s more, website traffic (especially thanks to the new subscribers-only TIMalerts.com website), PennyStocking DVD sales, testimonials and most importantly, reader learning and earning all surged waaaay more than my pesky little 16%.
Comparisons to the major indexes–why bother? You all know these major indexes are getting crushed, that PennyStocking, even with my flawed timing, is crushing every single index/strategy known to man (seriously it’s fair to call this industry pathetic if I’m really gonna stay #1 on Covestor)(see rankings HERE) and that my already-healthy ego is larger for it. No point in detailing all that…at least not without devoting an entire post later this week!
