"Crushing the Market: How I Outperformed the S&P 500® with an 8.54% YTD Gain"
As of March 28, 2025, I’m excited to share that my account is up 8.54% year-to-date. It’s been a solid start to the year, especially when you compare it to the S&P 500®, which is down -4.81%, and NASDAQ, which is down -10.15%. It feels good to see that my approach is outperforming the broader market! For the month of March alone, I’ve had a net gain of $11,334.32, which works out to a 28.00% return on my initial investment of $36,163.40. Breaking it down further, my long-term positions gained $6,046.90 (29.89%), while my short-term positions brought in $5,287.42 (26.12%). Honestly, I’m proud of these numbers, especially since I’ve had a 100% gain/loss ratio—no losses this month, just growth. Looking at the broader picture, the 8.54% YTD return is a reflection of sticking to my strategy, staying disciplined, and managing risks. I’ve learned a lot along the way, and it feels great to see the hard work pay off—especially when I’m doing better than the market averages. If you’re on a similar journey, know that consistency and smart decisions can lead to some great results. I’m looking forward to what the rest of the year brings. Keep pushing and stay focused! 👏📈
