Welcome to my February 2014 Stock Gain & Loss Report!
Every month I will post my stock gains and losses.
I’ve been fortunate to start off 2014 on a good note. My first two months have both been over 20% in returns.
My profits in February have come from selling two stocks. The first one was Big Lots (BIG). I’ve bought (BIG) several times over the last couple years. It’s a financially strong company and when it’s at a bargain price, I’m almost always glad to eagerly buy it up.
The other stock that I sold was Terra Nitrogen (TNH). It’s one of the biggest agricultural fertilizer producers in the USA and another great company that I was able to buy at a bargain price and sell for my desired return.
This month, I was reminded to stick to my guns. While many analysts were predicting doom for the beginning of 2014, a number of investors were sitting on the sidelines waiting to see how the year would unfold. On the other hand, I decided to just stay the course and keep doing what’s been working for me. I just use the Beat The Market Analyzer to find recommended good companies to buy at bargain prices. After they reach my desired return, I sell them for a nice profit. This system has paid off very well and I hope to continue with this same plan. It’s an easy system to follow and I consistently achieve good results.

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.
