U.S. stocks saw the most volatility in four years. At one point during this month, all of the major benchmarks sank into correction territory by dropping more than 10% from their earlier highs. By the end of that week, however, all had crossed back over that threshold.<br \/>\nAs the usual pattern in temporary market declines, those who were fearful and sold lost money and those that were confident in buying good companies at huge discounts were able to make significant gains.<\/p>\n<p><b>My Past Results<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Below is a table which includes my personal monthly returns from January 2013 to present:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beatthemarketanalyzer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Stock-Income-Salespage-201508-e1441706834989.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.beatthemarketanalyzer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Stock-Income-Salespage-201508-e1441706834989.png\" alt=\"stock profits August 2015\" width=\"500\" height=\"526\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4017\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><\/span><\/strong><br \/><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><a title=\"BTMA Wealth Builders Club\" href=\"http:\/\/www.beatthemarketanalyzer.com\/btmawealthbuildersclub\/\" target=\"_blank\">If you&#8217;re interested in finding out how I make these returns, then CLICK HERE to Learn about The BTMA Wealth Builders Club<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>_______________________<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why do I post this information online?<\/p>\n<p><strong>I do it for 3 main reasons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.

It&#8217;s nice to brag about good months and get positive feedback during those not-so-good months.<\/p>\n<p>3. I hate being told that I can&#8217;t do something and stock investing is just another area where people have told me: &#8220;You couldn&#8217;t possibly do well.
