I knew something was up as my inbox began filling up with messages from Twitter announcing new followers. I couldn’t recall any thought provoking tweets that would have enticed that kind of response. Certainly my retweet of “The Sam Jackson siri ad is so effing good http://stks.co/3NKP $AAPL” couldn’t have won over more than a couple [...]
Six years ago to this very day I walked away from corporate America to trade full time. As each anniversary day comes, I can’t help thinking back on March 31, 2006. Well over a year of preparation, planning and deep reflection went into that moment. After all, I was walking away from a great 6 [...]

Today marks three years since I walked away from Corporate America to trade full-time and explore ways to encourage people to pursue their dreams of Financial Independence. Not one day has passed where I have regretted my decision, but there have many days spent wondering how long can I keep this party going. I had [...]

That’s good, because it was pretty hard to explain anyway. The [...]
