Back to negative. -9% for the year. 
Gain 300% last year, drop 9% is no big deal. 300 * 0.91 = 273% up from start of last year still much better than all (I guess) of us.
One year big gain means little. Itâs better than no gain but still far from my goal.
Are you telling your over all gains (Inception to date) or year 2017 gain 300%?
manchâs not mine. His return last year is 300%.

Another bad day for stocks. Has the peak passed already?
Funnily enough it was a good day for cryptocurrency! I wonder if investors are moving between the two?!

More up and down chop with no definitive direction.
Consumer staples and materials are below their 200-day. Every other sector is between the 50 and 200-day. I donât see the market going materially higher without leadership emerging. I also doing see it going much lower without bigger sectors going below the 200-day.
I feel like the easy money would be selling short-term volatility, since we likely arenât going anywhere big. Sell out of the money puts and calls. Iâm holding my stock positions and not trading options right now.
