RUT gave us longs 7.36% with the UWM giving out even more @ 7.73%. The NDX gave us 5% while the QLD gave out 4.78%.

If you’re new to my site, I’ve been long since Friday.

Today I trimmed back my index longs in the mutual funds (because the timing I have to trade them is only twice a day), but kept all of my leveraged ETF positions. I wanted to take advantage of being up and not be as committed to the long as I was. On what I trimmed back today was around a 2% gain. On a drop, though I’d put that powder to use.

The ICE calls are also up fractionally, but I held on for one more day, because I think ICE could put in a larger pop.

In the previous post I talked about BRL and the watchlist. It reminded me that I never calculated the performance of the previous watchlist that I had on the sidebar before erasing it. I’ll say like I’ve said before that it wasn’t maintained very accurately, however, the watchlist, if closed out today, which is what I did, still produced a gain of 30% for the total list/portfolio. Some of the big winners were CLF with a 103% gain, JRCC with a 348% gain. The big losers were well, check out this spreadsheet for those. Now there was plenty of room to get out, in fact I said to take the profits on the coal stocks on June 19th in those names.

Its pretty amazing to me that I can somewhat haphazardly stumble on a 30% gain in this crap market where most pros are not making any money, but in fact losing money, and the StockRake watchlist crushed them all. Now you could call it lucky or whatever. Maybe so on that particular list, but the buys were well planned, while the sells off that list were never really posted about except for the coal stocks. I’m not bragging though just proud of the performance.

I could brag about this ridiculous performance though because it was documented and posted about. I just personally didn’t participate in it.
