We are basing money management on an hypothetical
$ 100,000 and are using a total of
$51,317 for 13 open stock positions plus five option positions requiring
$ 3,026 making a total of
$ 54,343 leaving
$ 45,657 in cash.
These figures are approximate.
We have not counted the dividends received from Apple, JP Morgan, Blue Capital Reinsurance and others.
We do not count commission costs and there may be errors.
Executions that have occurred at or near the open or close of trading sometimes vary from our actual numbers. For example, when something opens down and it is through our price, we take the next trade whether it is an uptick or continues lower. This sometimes results in a 50% trade that is slightly above or below the exact number.
