This Month’s Report Details:
In April, most of my profits came from selling China National Offshore Oil – CNOOC (Ticker: CEO), Chevron stock (CVX), and Valmont Industries (VMI). Oil stocks were hitting some all-time lows in the early part of 2015, so I took advantage of the opportunity to buy some great oil companies at bargain prices. Then I waited until they reached my desired return amount and sold them. I’m still holding Exxon, which I also bought. I will sell when it also reaches my desired return amount (usually within 2.5% – 5%).

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.
