    Congratulations on a good April. Can I ask, what do you use to keep track of your returns? I have been using Excel, and maybe its me, but I find it sort of a pain. You, on the other hand, always show everything you need to know in about 10 lines. Maybe I’m just making it harder than it needs to be.

    I use a spreadsheet in Excel and information from my brokerage statements. The entire account is ran by the blog, so I don’t have to do any complicated separations.

    If April had ended a week and a half earlier than it did, it would have been a much better month for me.
