Grant’s Monthly Stock Gain & Loss Report – 2013 March

Welcome to my March 2013 Stock Gain & Loss Report!

Every month I will post my stock gains and losses.

This was a slow month for me. I only made 2 trades, but fortunately, my return was still able to beat the S&P 500. I’m thankful for that. I also realize that slow months are inevitable if you are sticking with a plan and investing conservatively. I do plan to learn from this month and do a better job next month.

Why do I post this information online?

I do it for 3 main reasons:

1. To be transparent.
   I like to be up-front and show you that I’m a real person who actually invests in the stock market.
2. It’s nice to brag about good months and get positive feedback during those not-so-good months.
3. I hate being told that I can’t do something and stock investing is just another area where people have told me: “You couldn’t possibly do well. What do you know about stocks?” etc.

   I want to prove that everyday people like myself can take control of their own finances, start investing with a common-sense approach, and produce better than average results.

If you’re interested in learning about how I actually produce these results, then feel free to watch a video on my strategy here:
