Market Performance For August

Traditionally, the month of August delivers +0.10% on an average for $SPY when looking over the data over the last 50 years. For August of 2017, the 3 major indexes had an above average performance as indicated below:

$SPY ... +0.29%
$QQQ ... +2.07%
$DJI ... +0.26%

I am a Growth Stock investor and if you had followed my lead, you would have gotten the results very similar to the performance of the leading $QQQ index. While the general market performance was +0.29% as measured by the $SPY, the leading index $QQQ, outperformed the general market by 7 times. This is why I have been asking my readers and followers to stay engaged with the market. There were plenty of opportunities to profit in the market in August, if you only allowed the data to drive your decision. Data was suggesting that the $XLK (Technology Sector) was the leading sector. Had you been engaged with the market, you would have duplicated the performance of $QQQ.

Performance of My 28 Stocks

I trade and invest in Growth Stocks because they tend to outperform the market. It is not a "Buy and Hold" strategy or "Buy Low and Sell High" Strategy. These are flawed strategies. My stocks had a performance that was +70% better than the performance of the general market as measured by $SPY. This is during the month when we had 2 brutal distribution days (August 10th and August 17th) when both the $SPY and $QQQ dropped below the 50 day sma(simple moving average) trend line. I have highlighted the performance of all the 3 major indexes as compared to the overall performance of my 28 stocks:

$SPY ... +1.52%
$QQQ ... +2.75%
$DJI ... +0.59%
28 Stocks ... +2.54% (out performed $SPY by +70%)
