Team,

April is in the books Team!


Trading results: +28.02% April return; +33.01% YTD. I’ll be reporting these results for the US Investing Championship! 👇

Recall my commentary from last month when reporting my big negative month. I had a feeling that I was taking a punch to deliver a punch, and ended up delivering the punch! 🥊

Via our 3/31 research note

Important to keep putting one foot in front of the other Team! Nothing can stop us if we keep improving, and never quit! HAGE 🍻

-Andrew

P.S. I will be out of office getting married/on my honeymoon from 5/30 → 6/6 🤵🏽
