2007-07-03 JW Trading Activity : Year To Date 41.81%

Gladly sold and closed the Diamond options 15 minutes before the market close, and at a good price too. This marks the end of the trading activity for the 1st half of the year, up 41.81%. The majority of the return was made outside of the huge market rally between April and May. This shows the model is a good alternative investing strategy which should be combined with a regular asset allocation model that takes advantage of continuous market rally. None of the stats here includes any futures arb trades, which made a small sum of profit. Have a happy July 4th, everyone. :)
