July has been a really busy month. I spent most of my time avoiding losing money and that was no easy feat in this market.
I closed July out with $12,044.13 in the Special Situations Real Money Port. Back in May, the account was worth $12,239.27. As you can see, I’ve lost a little bit of ground over […]
