This month, I did put about 50% of my available cash for trading to work. Some of the cash I raised by selling some non-core stocks or some dividend stocks that I used to park my cash. My timing of the cash usage was right on the money, so far returning about 19% in about 2 weeks. I guess that was one of the reason that I shaved off some of the big loss in May.
Unfortunately, my company stock is extremely weak compared to the general market. It has been down almost 40% from the peak, and it’s simply not recovering at all. That is the primary reason for a poor showing of my networth this month again.
Special note: returns were calculated by subtracting 3.00% APR return of my cash position.
