This Week’s Trade Exits
As soon as I exit a trade, I note that in the comments of the post where I first mentioned the trade; at the end of the week, I try to track them all in one post. Starting in July, 2024, I have also been tracking them in this spreadsheet. These are the trades I exited this week.

Stocks
No exits this week, but since we started this Substack in December of 2022, our top names have averaged returns of 17.81% over the next six months, versus SPY’s average of 11.45%.

Took advantage of the monster rally on Wednesday to add some short positions, and took profits on two of the positions on Thursday.
There are a few names I have in mind on the long side that could be worth a lot more a year from now. We’ll look to place bullish trades on them during the next crash day.
