Another down month for the portfolio, although not as bad as HSI index. For the second year so far, the performance has nothing commendable, on par with HSI performance, at best.

It was a month full of roller coaster rides and lots of "only if we did/did not...". We noticed the stocks we sold, such as P and TSLA rallied a lot during the month and we would be lying if we claim no regrets. But we have to believe that we sold them for precaution just in case they head south without looking back. After all, we don't look at the fundamentals at all, so we take it as a price to pay.

The more scary story for the month is NUS was investigated by Chinese Government and rumors in the market are as bad as "losing china market". The stock, as a result, lost as much as 50% in 2-3 days. For the month, it was down about 40%.

Thanks to SCTY and NFLX, by the end of the month, the portfolio was still up 1.05%.

For the month NUS and NFLX have been replaced by INCY and TSLA (yes we bought it back, at a higher price than we sold).

NFLX ends well, we didn't have to sell it after a correction, which is usually the case in a momentum strategy. Actually we sold it at all time high, for now. We were not expecting it to reach 400+ when bought it at 160+, honestly. So, thank you, NFLX!
