Check in on me, and check in on Cathie

Let's get up to date now that May is over.

Withdrawals from the account have now made my stake:

                                                                   $44.50

That's my investment in the account that, as of May 30th, was worth

                                                                  $87.05

There's a multiplier, if you haven't been following along.  But that gets you an idea of what I'm up to, and have been up to for the last month.

Hoping to get some traction soon. See my account performance slipping as compared to the last update:

 

It's dramatic embellishment to say my account performance is slipping.  Does the weather change from one day to the next?  Does any stock price go up in a straight line?  Any sagging in my account pales next to accounts that belong to the likes of:

Come on, Cathie - don't embarrass yourself.  Don't let me outdo you.  While I'm disappointed by my 11.45% during the last three months (and I didn't even get out of the gate until a month ago), you're clocking in at 3.3%.  I see you're set up to compete against me this time, for real.  Last time you wouldn't even get out of bed, but now you're coming out swinging.  But step it up or your junior competition is going to stomp on you and it won't be pretty!

May chugs along

Note that my performance is +14.92% in half a month.  Let's see what happens if it "goes away in May" and "makes me a buffoon in June."

The first chapter of a story that's going to be crazy

Having moved everything from one brokerage to another (back to my favorite one - it feels like coming home after being away in prison), I'm going to track my progress in dollar increments, starting with a number and not specifying what the multiplier is. (Could be divided by ten - which means I'd only have $4, which is not the case - could be times ten, could be times 100, could be times 1,000, 10,000 or 100,000.  I'll only confirm that it's one of those.)

Starting figure as of  Wednesday, May 7 is 

                                                                  $46.42

That's my stake in the account that, as of May 7th, was worth

                                                                  $73.77

 

That makes my profit as of that day 58%, so I could have cashed out and retired to a local cardboard box beneath an overpass (or maybe bought a flashy or modest street-numbered place of residence, probably not a private island, to be honest) and concluded my trading career.  But of course, I'm not closing anything down - in fact, this is exactly the start of  History of My World Part 99,001, so stick around and see what happens next.  

I will get some other graphics, charts, and general musings together tomorrow, along with an update on what's happened between May 7th and today.  I wanted to get this to print before too much time got away from me.
