Last month was below expected; this month above... Go figure.

even with a lot of .01 and .02 sales I still doubled my month compared to last year's July thus happy...

From $400 last period to $280 this period. Fluctuates a lot from month to month.

right that's why it's silly to extrapolate from 12 or2 months for most of us - it's a Poisson distribution and a running average (3-6 mo_) is a better indicator. individual months typically graph as a sawtooth range, not a smooth curve

with a small portfolio, the effects are magnified

Last month BME, this month one of the worst months, probably top 3 of the worst months.

Last month my worst month since July 07.
This month much better, but not in any other sense 'good'.

Indeed. It's sawtooth (poisson) all the time. There is, for me, typically a $50 to $150 delta from month to month. Looking at CY 2020, sales were lower but to your point:

Average: $242
Median: $238
Range: $170-$329 (Here's my $150 delta)
