Well I we started out 2014 with a down month for the market and to be honest that kind of excites me. Again I am young and am contributing so a bad market benefits me tremendously. Also as you can see I put over $9000 of new money into my accounts this month so have money to deploy should things start falling.

Once again I have bested the SP500 by a significant margin and while the time period is still short I am very excited at the prospect that I will be able to get market beating returns with my individual stocks and this will increase the already amazing power of compound interest. We will see – everyone feels like a genius during a bull market like we have had for the last 4-5 years, but overall things are going pretty well for me so far and its possible I have the right long term mindset to be able to beat the odds that so many investors face when trying to get above average returns.
