I am not obligated to report but I do voluntarily. Some are interested in my stock selection and performance. My business does not need sales from customers, or marketing to make profits. My business is straightforward competing against any participants in the market which is a zero-sum game environment. That means if I gain $1,000, someone else loses $1,000.
My performance is not based on customer satisfaction or employee performance it is solely on my skills, understanding of the market, economy, individual company, risk management, etc. Everything is up to me. If I do good, capital value goes up, if I don't, it falls. It is a simple business. I like investment/trading business because I can control over the operation directly well and no debt to work with. It is the ideal business model that could eliminate outside risk factors that could influence the business performance.
This is the account used for the demonstration to see how effectively my theory works and how many years to take a million dollars from the initial principle, $15,000. All the principal was invested in the one energy stock (BDCO) at $0.26 in Oct. 2021 before the Russian and Ukrainian war. I didn't know what caused the oil price to go up back then but I knew something would trigger to pump the oil price up. It turned out it was the war that broke out in January 2022. As you can see, BDCO stock performance is identical to my performance until last year.
I added another stock last year at $2.50 in June, now it is $9.50. I will reveal the stock once it hits $10. I still recommend it to buy at this price. I also added a few other stocks that can be disclosed to the paid individual(s) or be disclosed for free at a higher price later on. Now as you can see, my last two years' performance is 440% while S&P500, NASDAQ, and DOW are 15.7 %, 15.8%, and 14.08% respectively. Considering the average annual return of these indexes is about 12%. My stock selection has been outstanding so far.
I still believe that a recession is right around the corner, the question is what triggers the market to be popped. Two things crossed my mind, that may impact the market significantly and negatively this year, one is the Fed's decision to ease interest rates or the election that will be taking place during Q4. Fed has been indecisive and has no intention to make a drastic change, with that being said, the election would probably be the main factor to drive the market upside down. Thus, I am comfortable exposing the capital in the market expecting to be bull until then.
