Welcome to my June 2013 Stock Gain & Loss Report!
Every month I will post my stock gains and losses.
This month I only made one small trade of a long-term stock that I was holding (BRK-B). The whole market was going down in June, so it wasn’t a good time to sell.
On the other hand, it was the time to buy since stock prices were overall low. I just wish I had more money available at the time to buy more stocks. The rest of my money was already tied up in other stocks.
But I was happy to come out ahead this month with anything since the market as a whole returned negative numbers.

* NOTE: I did not include my June 2013 return into my 2013 cumulative return because to be fair, this stock that I sold was actually bought in December of 2012 and I didn’t want to pad my stats for 2013.

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:
