$547 profit in March 2025

Happy April! 

The story this week is all about tariffs which is causing a lot of volatility in the markets, but it's also time to wrap up all the trades and profits from March. 

March was a another good month for placing new trades (whether they come off soon with profits is another story…). 

This makes it 31 months of consecutive positive returns since this newsletter and portfolio went live in September 2022. 

For the update this week:

1. $547 profit across 4 trades in March

If you're familiar with options and want to follow along the trade updates, you can sign up for my Bread Crumb subscription which is priced at $49/month.

i.e. on average, each month you would pay $49 and potentially make $473, or 9.6x the subscription fee. 

Every trade I share is from my real portfolio, which means if the trade isn't making money, I'm not making money either. 

Do note none of these are recommendations - I'm just sharing trade updates within my own portfolio which may or may not be right for you.
