Welcome to my December 2013 Stock Gain & Loss Report!<\/p>\n

Every month I will post my stock gains and losses.<\/p>\n

Although I did not sell any stocks in December of 2013, I am very grateful to have finished the year with such a good return.
My overall cumulative return for 2013 was 120.02% (as compared with the S&P cumulative return of around 28.73%).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I could have never achieved such a high return without the BTMA Stock Analyzer<\/a>. I simply followed the factual data and recommendations that the Analyzer provided and tried to emotionally take myself out of the investment decisions as much as possible. That was certainly my main reason for success in 2013.<\/p>\n

In December, I did purchase a good amount of EZ Corp shares (EZPW). The company has been taking a hard beating, the analysts are against it, and nobody seems to be giving it a chance. However, according to the Analyzer and the 10 year factual data for the company, the company is financially strong and seems to be just going through a rough patch here because of some temporarily bad news about loaning regulations and gold prices being down (EZ Corp relies on gold prices because one of their main sources of income comes from gold scrapping among their multitude of pawn shops.)<\/p>\n

Regardless of the market media hype or de-hype, I remind myself to only listen to the long-term facts of the company and the proven data about the company’s strength from within the Analyzer’s report.<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to 2014 and I will do my best to maintain my same system of investing.
Happy New Year and Happy Investing!<\/p>\n

-Grant<\/p>\n

Why do I post this information online?<\/p>\n

I do it for 3 main reasons:<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

2. It’s nice to brag about good months and get positive feedback during those not-so-good months.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Thanks for checking out this month’s report!
