In mid month, I was up better than 21%, but then all hell broke loose. I did manage to sell some shares off at the top to reduce my stock AA, but then the whole market dropped and brought down the stock AA for me. Bummer.
I could not help it, and sold many put options. Several will get assigned and will bring my stock AA back up a few percent, but not as high as 80% as it was earlier.
What works well this past month: energy, fertilizer, agricultural.
What tanks: semiconductor, industrial metal, mining, utilities, biotech, pharma, healthcare. Nearly everything is down, except for a few stocks.
