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. These are the trades I exited this week.

Comments
First, a housekeeping note: starting last week, I’ve been tracking every trade exit in this spreadsheet, which I’ve also linked to on this Substack’s About page.

No exits this week, but our core strategy continues to perform well, driven by the performance of our top names. We have 6-month returns for 55 weekly top names cohorts since we started this Substack, and on average, they’ve returned 23.27% over the next 6 months, versus 13.04% for the SPDR S&P 500 Trust (SPY 0.00%↑). And as I pointed out last week, your actual returns will likely be higher than that, because in our core strategy, you will be letting your winners run and cutting your losers short.

Rivian was one of three beaten-down EV makers we placed bets on back in April.
I sold half of my calls on it on Friday for a 200%+ gain and am playing with the house’s money with the rest.
