  • Trading Update: 4th Quarter Performance

    The quarter ended well, but it had the most volatility of the year.

     

     

    Looking at that November plunge still looks as disturbing now as it did when I posted the monthly performance stats. I hope I’ve learned enough to avoid repeating a descent of that magnitude.

    On the other hand, as bad as the drop was, the rise back up to profitable levels matches it in power – even more so since it requires more effort to make up for losses since you are starting with less capital. Looking at it that way, from the October peaks, the drop was over 50%, while the performance to return to that level and higher was over 100%.
