# How I Spent My Summer Making 11%

This may be hard to realize but here in the South, the school year begins in less than a week. I will never understand the logic of footing the enormous A/C bill to send our kids to be educated during August when 'Hot-Atlanta' earns its name. So with summer at its end let's take stock of the selections chosen each week to be the Trade Ideas' Trade of the Week since school let out. These are opportunities selected by our editors from algorithms tested and optimized by the machine learning, A.I.-powered Investment Discovery Engine we call Holly. The i dea behind the Trade of the Week is to give visitors to Trade-Ideas.com  and customers alike, opportunities that they may use to start a position and hold for an extended period of time. Each week we caution that proper risk management when making investment decisions must be used. Note these prices are up to date as of July 26's close. The chart at the top indicates AK Steel Holding Corporation (AKS) as the best Trade of the Week performer with a return of 24%. The Silver and Bronze go to Twitter (TWTR) and Pandora Media Inc. (P) with 22% and 21% performances respectively. Only Eldorado Gold Corp (EGO) turned out to be fool's gold. It was tarred and feathered, put on a mule, and kicked out of town with a -15% return. I'd like to think you or I would be out of the position sooner. Now it's time to put some fresh ice in my beverage and sharpen some pencils. Happy Investing!
