Since it&#8217;s about a week late I&#8217;ll be very quick. It was a very nice week but still waiting for FB and NFLX to get up to my buy-in price so I can get back to making money with those funds.<\/p>\n<p>I have 3 trades to report. 1 involving Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and 2 with RH. With AMD it was just a stock buy and sale. I was holding 1000 shares of AMD and with it up 81 cents I decided to lock in a $810 profit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>AMD<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">7\/31\/8 \u2013 Buy 1000 Shares AMD @ $19.00<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">8\/13\/18 \u2013 Sell 1000 Shares AMD @ $19.81<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong> Profit +$810<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next I had a Grasshopper trade.

This week&#8217;s gain will be very close to last week&#8217;s (report above). FB and NFLX have been recovering but If I can have weeks like this waiting for them to fully recover, it&#8217;s not bad. The end of the month is coming and I&#8217;m looking forward to my $4000 draw from my account. This is the amount I take every month unless I&#8217;m fully invested and I cannot get it out. So far this year I think I missed 2 months because of being fully invested.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t get to do a yearly progress report, but so far I&#8217;m up a little over 50%. This is with all commissions and margin interest removed, and my margin interest in a pretty big number. This number is a business expense! Like I said before, if this is not good enough, you better invest in a gun and a mask!<\/p>\n<p>I do no advertising for Main Street beats Wall Street. Any reader joined completely organically. I have 170 readers! I really can&#8217;t believe I don&#8217;t have 10,000. However, I&#8217;m very happy. I really don&#8217;t think I would be able to handle more emails. If anyone follows a sight where they are doing 50% please send me the link.<\/p>\n<p>I am very happy with this year&#8217;s &#8220;to date&#8221; results, but believe me, I know it can change with one bad trade. With a few bad trades I can go in the negative&#8230;..FAST!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Steve<\/p>\n<p><em>The Options Coach<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my extremely late week ending report from last week.
