This Month’s Report Details:
In December, I came up flat with no realized returns. I didn’t sell any stocks, but I did manage to buy Terra Nitrogen (TNH) shares at a decent price.
Overall, the U.S. market declined in December with the S&P 500 returning -1.72%. Also, for the year, the S&P 500 produced a negative return of -0.73%. Some of this was caused by the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates in December. However, the increase in interest rates can be seen in a positive light since this is a sign the the U.S. economy is improving.

Why do I post this information online?
I do it for 3 main reasons:
1. To be transparent.
I like to be up-front and show you that I’m a real person who actually invests in the stock market.
2. It’s nice to brag about good months and get positive feedback during those not-so-good months.
3. I hate being told that I can’t do something and stock investing is just another area where people have told me: “You couldn’t possibly do well. What do you know about stocks?” etc.
I want to prove that everyday people like myself can take control of their own finances, start investing with a common-sense approach, and produce better than average results.
