What’s up, everyone? All right, so here we are. We’ve almost made it just about to the end of August, and boy, this has been such a turnaround story for me. From down $10,000 on the month on, I think, the 14th, so almost to the halfway point. Now I’m up $40,000 on the month. As of today, another $5,000 of profit, so $50,000 turnaround in the last 10 days of trading. That’s what momentum is all about. Hot streaks, they’re always clustered together, these winners back to back to back to back, because when the market is hot, we’re seeing huge amounts of volatility. We’re seeing huge amounts of opportunity, and that’s when I make the most money.

When the market slows back down, things become kind of just a little flat, or we don’t see as much volatility. Even if you want to be really aggressive, there’s just not as much to trade, and so you just kind of have to wait and make a little money while you’re waiting. But then, when things pick up, that’s the time for me to bring out the big share size and start to be aggressive.

So this month really feels like a blessing to hit my $40,000 monthly goal on a month that not only did I totally not expect it, but that I was actually down $10,000 on the month at one point. And so, in this kind of spirit of Thankful Thursday, being mindful and grateful for the success that I have as a trader, for the amazing opportunity to teach all of you guys my strategy, I want to lead the way by giving back every penny of today’s profits to a couple of local nonprofit organizations: Berkshire Bounty, which is an organization that helps provide food for those who need food; Berkshire Agriculture Ventures, which helps local farmers get up and running, which is one of these things like shop local, local food, no farms, no food. And then the third, the Berkshire Humane Society. So for the pets that don’t have a home this summer and need a little bit of support in the transition or whatever they’re going through, I want to help those guys as well.

I think the thing here is to lead the way, and to show you guys that when you’ve achieved success as a trader, which I hope happens for many of you, that you give back some of that success. You send the ladder back down in the form of helping beginner traders who are trying to find their path to success, and helping other organizations out there that can use the support of folks that have found some success in life.

All right, so that’s it for today. I hope you guys enjoy the recap. As always, questions, comments, leave them below, and I’ll see you first thing tomorrow morning.

All right, everyone. We’re going to do our midday market recap here. I’m just going to pause or mute those alerts because I don’t want to hear them right now. They’re going to distract me. We’ll break down the stocks that I traded this morning. Today’s been a pretty solid day, up $5,407 … Well, rounding up $5,406.96, but let’s round up for charity, and that’s only an extra four cents. But in any case, $5,407 today, that’s my profit, and so for Thankful Thursday, last Thursday for the month of August, I’m going to give all of this to some local nonprofit organizations.

I think one of the things, as I was just saying, that’s really important is, you guys are going to find that when you learn a strategy that is consistently profitable, and you start generating a significant amount of profit, it’s the right thing to do to give some back. Making $5,000 a day? This is a million dollars a year, when you’re hitting $5,000 days. This is a lot of money to be making, and it’s certainly more than most of us need to live a totally comfortable life. There’s a lot of people out there that are struggling, and even an extra $50 a day would make a huge difference. So, this August,
