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

Welcome to my July 2013 Stock Gain & Loss Report!

Every month I will post my stock gains and losses.

July was a pretty good month for me. I sold a few shares of Apple (AAPL), and a good chunk of Cognizant Technologies (CTSH) and F5 Networks (FFIV).

This month, I was again reminded to not be swayed by emotions or what the analysts say.
Just stick to my predetermined plan.
By doing this, and being patient, I am almost always rewarded in due time.

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:
