2009 Monthly Trade Performance
I am very pleased with our YTD return for 2009 and want to repeat this
performance in 2010. We had 2 losing months that were more than offset with some
winning monthly returns in the 8% range. I am also excited that this return for
2009 was achieved with only 14 trades for the entire year. This means our
trading costs were very low and should not be impacting our annual return
percentage very much.
