Very impressive. I am starting out just this past year. Very inspirational performance. I hope i can make it big just as you have.
Why didn't you retire with $1.6M? I would've. Buy some bonds and live on $50k a year risk free without touching the principal and get some easy job for supplementary income. Man I can't wait to retire, or at least until work is an option.
You're telling me that you started with 25k on credit, and made 7million+ trading over a 9 year period. LOL. Can you tell me where one can go to learn how to do this?
Five easy steps...... 1) Build a time machine 2) Take time machine back to 1998 3) Ride the bubble and make obscene money from 1998-2000 4) Don't be stupid and give back all your profits during the market meltdown and "dead" years (2001-mid 2003) 5) With a nice cushion of profits, re-train yourself to trade decimals while battling computer algorithms instead of humans. Congratulations, you're rich and still able to earn a great living.
when you get to that point, and you have tasted making 1m in a year, the last thing you want to do is stop the activity that just earned you 100k/mo. You just want to push harder and harder and make more and more.
I want to hear more about the drug year too, how it happen, how bad was it, how did u beat it etc.. also how much leverage u trade with now?
