Let me start by saying that I will post a comments article separately. I'll stick to a review of the stocks. And an update on the portfolio.

The performance is actually really amazing.
Since inception, we are beating the broader markets by an average of 3.5%~4.5% per month.
From a YTD perspective, we are beating the broader market by an average 3.3%~4% per month.
We are up 31% during a massive Bear market.

We were stopped out of quite a lot. The results of buying back into the market was generally positive - we netted ~1.5% on the stocks that were stopped out. As I will discuss in my separate comments article, I did not jump back in after our stops were hit because I am not positive this week. Long term positive, short term negative.

My tactic was to keep very tight stops. This was the right approach last week, when we compare our STOP prices to Friday's closing prices:
AMX $32 vs 31.29
DIS 29 vs 28.49
ET 20.8 vs 20.53
GRP 43 vs 42.9
ISIL 22.5 vs 22.64
JBLU 11.5 vs 10.65
JLG 20 vs 18.51
TIE 31 vs 26.65
TTI 28 vs 28.66

I wanted to lock in gains and, with two exceptions (ISIL & TTI), we can get back into all stocks and own more shares. I am disappointed that we hit some STOPs, but getting out gives us the flexibility to jump back in or not, and to do so at lower prices.

EMT Down 1%. Just a victim of US market blowback
ESV - Down 3.5%. I read a great article that ESV doubled its prices from Q1 (~$100K per day per rig) to to Q2 ($200K).
MDR - Down 2%. Another victim of US market blowback.
VOL - Down 2.5%
