Trading this week has gone well and I have accomplished the tasks I set out for myself. I finally closed my short on Apple with a profit. However, the negative downswing in the market had dragged down the performance of most of my remaining portfolio.

As of right now, given that I have begun to feel more confident with my trading, I am planning on slowly getting rid of all of my current stocks and redoing my market research to re-diversify my portfolio in the coming weeks. As the markets bounce back I am confident that I will be able to sell off some of my current nonperforming stocks at a decent return as well as fill up my portfolio with better performing equities.
