While doing my taxes this weekend, I realized just how well I did on my stock picks last year. Taking into account every trade, I made a profit of 21% after I cashed everything out in December. Even after the capital gain taxes take their bite, I still made a profile of 13%. That is outstanding! It outperfomed the S&P by 333%.
My non-retirement trades
- PTIE – 550 shares, purchased in April and May for an average of $5.11, sold in December for $6.73. 31% profit.
- MOT – 100 shares, purchased in March for $15.74, sold in July for $19.37. 22% profit.
- SPDV.OB – 500 shares, purchased in March for $1.74, sold in June for $1.50. 15% loss.
Congrats!!!! With investing like that, you’ll be able to retire in no time!
