June Portfolio – A Conservative 1.96%

In the investing world, slow and steady wins the race every time.

During our June trading, we did not close out ANY trades at a lose once again. That’s hard to say for some other sites out there, especially after the recent correction that almost certainly messed with portfolios.

Compared to the May portfolio, we had a total return that was slightly lower comparatively at 1.96% vs. 2.73%. We are a little disappointed that we missed our monthly goal of 2-3% per month. However, we feel that in building the portfolio for June, we had a lot of reasons to stay far from the market and ultra-conservative.

Believe me when I say that next month’s profit will be incredible given the VIX spike we had a couple weeks ago!

To re-cap this month’s income, let’s look at what we made vs. our required investments (in margin). Here are the positions we had with corresponding PROFIT/INVESTMENT and RETURN:

SPY 130 CALL – $18/$909 = 1.98% Return

DIA 118 CALL – $18/$1,417 = 1.27% Return

IWM 60 PUT - $20/$630 = 3.17% Return

QQQQ 40 PUT – $10/$400 = 2.50% Return

With regard to TOTAL INCOME and RETURN, the June portfolio produced $66 of total income after investing just $3,356 in margin. That means we saw a total portfolio return of 1.96% this month. As we usually point out, our calculations assume that you enter just 1 (ONE) contract for each trading alert – i.e. a total of 4 contracts for the month. Those members with a higher capital base should be entering multiple contract positions each week.
