The stock market had a rough week. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were both down quite a bit this week before rallying a little bit on Friday. Even with the rally on Friday, it was still a down week for the market. My accounts were down as well. Despite the volatility in the market this week, I stuck to my plan.

Wrap Up
The total amount of dividends and options premium received this week was $146.60. It was another down week for my accounts. With the market being down the past couple of weeks I have learned a little bit about myself as an investor. I have basically remained neutral as the market has gone down. I have not sold out of positions in a panic. I have not went on a major buying spree. I continue to work my plan. That wraps it up for this week. Thanks for following along!
