When will my “Tomato System” (Portfolio) finally turn into a field of ripe, red profits (positive returns)? If today’s momentum continues, I believe that day is just around the corner.
I think today’s market can be perfectly expressed with this song: “Fly Me to the Moon” (Frank Sinatra) 🎵 Leaving yesterday’s fears behind, today feels like a celebration of the Dow 50,000 era, as if we’ve been launched toward the moon.
Hello, this is JSCC2020. The US stock market has reached a historic milestone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surpassed the 50,000 point mark for the first time in history, sparking a powerful rally. The Nasdaq (+2.18%) and S&P 500 (+1.97%) surged in tandem, brushing off yesterday’s decline. In particular, our portfolio’s QLD jumped by +4.16%, leading the charge in our recovery.

🔍 Day 11 Insights: Recovery Resilience Toward “Green”
- Leverage’s Massive Momentum: As noted, QLD surged +4.16%, bringing my return up to -4.38%. This is the kind of recovery resilience only those who endured yesterday’s dip can experience.
- Strength of Covered Calls & Dividends: Despite market volatility, SCHD (+7.65%) and JEPI (+0.87%) are already holding onto positive returns, acting as the anchor for the entire account.
- 🇰🇷 Monday Korean Market Outlook: The current figures for domestic ETFs do not yet reflect Friday night’s US explosion. A strong gap-up open is expected on Monday morning, so the moment our account turns fully “green” (positive) seems very close.
💡 Final Thoughts
In the era of Dow 50,000, we will continue to pursue a strategy focused on Cash Flow until the Tomato System is fully in the black. While prices may fluctuate, the dividends we collect continue to stack up.
