I admittedly have a hard time following the posts that don't use actual numbers to indicate earnings. I understand the desire not to get into that much detail but it does make it harder to read. I'm assuming you had a decent month by your own standard?
I just updated my own – and for the lack of work I"m pretty happy with the results but hopefully they'll improve as I shoot more this winter.
Hi Matt, welcome back! What's the matter? I'm posting full data, number of downloads, earnings in $ (2nd graph is in dollars), portfolio size…. just zoom out the graphs. Updated the post with your link.
Cheers,
