The amount of money contributed was $19,417, so that works out to a percentage gain of 43.06%. But, the average amount of time money was in the account was only about 4 months, because I was steadily depositing money from March through October, starting from zero (so the amount in the account was much smaller early on). So actually the performance was about twice as strong as that 43% number would indicate. This is one of the greatest bull markets in history we've just experienced over the last 8.5 months (maybe the greatest, even).

I have had problems before in life with being unable to accept losses (needing to break even), so I am happy that I was able to close so many positions this year at small losses when I no longer felt they were the best choice of investment. TLRD in particular I could have lost 100% had I stuck it out, but I bailed at -30%. Biggest regret is probably GPRO - I had the thesis right, but got in too early and then sold near the bottom to pay some expenses before it ran +120%. Should have bought more shares instead of bailing.
