My stupid stock trading strategy

Well, it looks like I was right about the bounce. I was just wrong about what stocks would benefit. Part of my problem is that I am chasing a 40% year end return and time is getting short. The market doesn't care about my targets and is quite happy to take money away from me when I make unwise decisions.

I'll have to admit that I've really struggled over the last month. In the past, I've experienced a week or two of slumps where things don't make sense. But it has been a long time since my struggles have been so consistent.
