Sure. I am the most transparent trader on this app after all. As of ~12:30pm PT today I was +0.08% YTD and -43% from peak on May 15 in my challenge account. Most of my losses were from the really bad RCAT / RCAX and NVTS / NVTX plays. Lesson learned, no more doubling down on 2x levered ETFs. The history of this challenge is harder to show without dozens of transfer and email screenshots so please excuse the memory retelling: - Started with ~$35K into the $RDDT IPO back in March 2024 which I was lucky enough to be offered an allocation and thought it would spiritually be funny to start with $35K just like my original run. - They required me to create a brand new E*Trade account to participate so that was how it started. - I even talk about it at 3:18 here https://t.co/vDCkoa9nXg - That account had its ups and downs and eventually I transferred it via ACAT over to Robinhood because the UI is better and then closed the E*TRADE account just to simplify things. - All my trades during that time before posting on X were documented on my AfterHour app live and someone summarized it here: https://t.co/LaNvqhRD4J That's why my Robinhood account seemingly starts at $55K due to how they show deposits/transfers on the line chart. In my head it's still spiritually the same account. And I'm pretty upfront about the $10K deposit calling it the $45K to $10M challenge now. Would folks feel better if I call it the $55K to $10M challenge just so it matches the screenshot? Some people also ask me what happened between 2022-2024 after the original run. Here you go: - 2022: https://t.co/xbSQ8TtPxO - 2023: https://t.co/RdhPPc5QA7 - 2024: https://t.co/pWp06J0Dgd The 401k account is even harder to trace. It's administered by Vanguard so the first few trades were there. Then moved to TD Ameritrade for the self-directed brokerage option for most of 2020-21. Then they got bought / merged with Charles Schwab so my account got transferred there. That's why my 401k max history looks like this right now (3rd screenshot). I've also withdrawn a million or so (forgot the exact amount) hence why it starts at ~$8M. I'm serious when I say I'm the most transparent trader on this whole app. Almost all my trades since 2020 have been documented in some form or fashion under "Sir Jack A Lot" or "Kevin Xu" across Reddit, AfterHour, and X with live screenshots and videos. There are some OGs who've followed me across platforms all these years who can vouch for me. TY guys ♥️ I have never lied about my position. I don't trade any other accounts than what I share. I never sell into any movement created from my posting. I always share once I'm out of a position. It's actually amazing hundreds of thousands know my exact position at any point in time. I don't think you can say that about anyone else because they're in so many positions. That actually makes trading incredibly harder. I'm not perfect. No one is. But 285x in 21 months even during the best bull run ever still requires some skill even with a lot of luck. I teach independent thinking to my subs and for people to size, enter, and exit according to their own net worths, risk tolerances, and thesis. I share my thoughts and trades live to teach through example and to get a glimpse of how I actually think. I think the problem most people have with me is I keep calling it "all in" vs "full port". It's funny cause everyone is literally proving my point here. Everyone by now knows this is 0.5% of my net worth. What other guru do you know that? If you see someone trading $1M, what if they have $100M and that's only 1% of their net worth? Most people don't even share a single position receipt. Their "call" they're bagging about being up 250% might just be $100. The stakes are actually much higher than $55k for me. The public scrutiny here is higher stakes than any millions of dollars. I've put my name on the line. NGL the hate got to me a little bit today. Like Heisenberg said, maybe I should let up the "villain" persona here a bit. I strongly endorse transparency. My methods for spreading my message may be unorthodox. I play the idiot to make others look better. I play the heel so good guys can shine. I do stupid takes so people can question it and learn something. Never take anything for face value, do your own research and independent thinking. Everyone on the timeline is shilling something. I'm just transparent about it. I stand by my message that transparency improves trust and provides the necessary context for any financial-related message. Now that I'm nearing 200k followers though maybe I should change things up a bit. Open to feedback. And thank you for a crazy year ♥️
