Team,

October is in the books! I was prepared for a mental battle this month, and I certainly got one. I finished -3.90% for the month, putting me at a +389.30% YTD 2024 return😎 I’ll be reporting these results for the US Investing Championship:

A few notes from this month’s performance

  • I did my daily preparation every night, and came in with a decisive mindset✅

  • I was selective in the trades I took, and only added bets to my portfolio that I thought were asymmetric to the upside

  • My win rate was abnormally low, and my asymmetric bets didn’t pay out

  • I successfully controlled the downside on all my losing trades

Key takeaway: My strategy is robust enough to tolerate a losing streak/ period of bad luck.

Thank you for seeing the big picture.

Now let’s win the US Investing Championship 💪

-Andrew
