I fixed the link, but here it is again:

I just googled "Tewksbury Investment fund returns"

2017 May YTD 0.07%
2016 8.2% (S&P 12%)
2015 3.2% (1.4%)
2013 7.6% (32.4%)
2012 3.5% (16%)

I think the math appeals to a lot of people.

On a $50,000 account you need to make $2500 a month. That is $2.50 a month on 1000 shares. This is non-compounded math.

Sounds easy enough. Not so easy for beginners.

And going back to our earlier conversation, Monroe moved his firm to Bermuda in the 90s and took Irish citizenship...

Didn't he want to live the American Dream anymore? LOL.

Furthermore:

"Tewksbury Capital Management, a quantitative trading firm founded by Monroe Trout in 1988, climbed more than 10% in 2008 and returned over 10% again in 2009.

Their 2006-2008 3 yrs return was 18% annualized.

Bottomline, I couldn't find a losing year in the last 12 years, that included 2008.

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to make 5% a month trading (swing) stocks and ETFs ?

Thank you

That is 60% per year. A lot of hedge funds do not even make 60% a year. If you are a retail investor, probably, way too ambitious a goal to reach. Try 15%-20% a year. A competent stock trader probably, can earn 60% on his monies or maybe, even higher!

Thanks, very interesting. I wonder what it takes to be a new LP!

Yes; but what you see in stocks/ derivatives after a few years, not so much. QQQ went from$55 to $120,52 weeks/+; then the bear market sold down below$20.00[over 80% loss]If learning to trade/invest, you only LOSE 5% per month =good work.

Carl Ichan did average about 50% per year, long + short stock ;but that is unusual. And also unusual, in 2008 bear ,his fund had no gate; so he let his investors out , NOT by selling. But pulling money out of another account=more unusual. Mr Ichan cut a loss on corruption/ CHK..................................................................

Hello friends! I do believe that you can gain 10% of the invested amount in a month if you have the strong knowledge and comapct behavior. You are not supposed to make silly mistakes as it can take you away from your original path. So, stay on a plan and gain 10% at least. Thanks!
