Credit where it's due (What Wood Cathie Do)

I have to say, my days of making fun of Cathie Wood are over (for now.) May 2 until now, she is clocking in at an impressive 50% up, while I'm up only around 37%.


 I straggle behind:


 
 

Keep tabs on both of us and see how we finish the year out.

Who's it going to be, Cathie Wood or me?

My days of making fun of Cathie Wood may be over. Cathie is truly owning it - look at her fund's performance over the same time period as my tracked account.  From the beginning of May until now, she's up nearly 40% while I'm lagging behind at only 30%.

 

Here's reason Miss Cathy can smile:
 

 

 Me, lagging behind, but making the indexes look like a joke:



Detail of the above:

 

That was YTD, and of course I've only been tracking since May (same exact period I tracked Cathie Wood's ARK Investment fund, May 2- now), but here's a closer took. Me vs. the good old Essenpee (and Naz, and Dow, and Russell)

Lived through it, got to tell about it

Grapestrades doesn't always make the best trading decisions, or you could more specifically say, grapestrades doesn't always choose position sizes wisely and is not always lucky.

A nail-biter of a day (that's not accurate - I don't bite nails) - rather, a nauseating day concluded with me getting out, bullets dodged. I think I've taken away from it some lessons on what to do differently next time.

... Or have I learned?  We'll see!

Vertical lines (time) intersecting with the yellow (level) are my entry and exit. H-E-double-chopsticks is seen in between.

If you don't want to zoom in:  

In at 44,644.  Out at 44,641.  In between was 44,428.  In two and a half hours.

This represents my emotional state at the end of the day.  Is there a pill that can be taken to make experiences forgotten?  Just kidding.  You know I'm going to enjoy telling about this again and again.

My cost at the end of the day:  $18.00 including commission.
