Team,

We finished July with a monthly return of +17.11%, bringing our YTD return to +10.49%. I’ll be reporting these results to the US Investing Championship!

Our goals remain the same as we outlined at the beginning of the year:

  • Finish in the top 10 of the USIC for the third consecutive year

  • Crack into the top 50 Finance publications on Substack

  • Become a top provider of TradingView tools worldwide

We hit a rough patch mid-year, but we stayed the course—and the results speak for themselves. The key is confidence in your process. And I’ve got more of it than ever. HAGE🍻
