Mon 09/14 $90,584 → $90,376
▼ −0.23%
Monday closed at $90,375.59, down a tiny bit (−0.23%). Scanned 220 stocks and only one looked good enough to buy, but AVB got skipped because its price jumped 168.8% overnight, which isn't something worth trusting. No buying or selling happened — it just held onto what it already had.

Friday was a quiet one — the account ended at $90,581.89, barely moved (+0.07%). We looked through 220 stocks and only found one worth considering, but that one, AVB, had jumped 168.8% overnight, so we passed on it as too risky to chase. No trades went in or out; we just held what we already had.

▼ −1.13% −$1,027
The account finished the day down 1.13%, closing at $91,158.06. Out of 220 stocks checked, only three qualified, so more shares of MU and F were bought since both hit fresh 20-day highs and bounced back up off their average price, and both were already winning positions being added to. HUM got sold automatically when it hit its stop price but we don't have the result on record, and AVB was skipped because it jumped 168.8% overnight, which was too wild a move to trust.

The account ended the day at $92,556.18, up a little bit from where it started. Wells Fargo got bought more since it hit a new high and bounced back up nicely, Altria got sold for a small gain after sitting around for a month without much happening, and Deere got sold for a good gain after just two days because it moved fast. One stock, AVB, got skipped because its price jumped way too much overnight to trust.
