CUMULATIVE RETURN AS OF 10.17.25 + 578%

For 30 years I got to do what I loved: help others make money through investment banking and quantitative trading. I started as a stockbroker, moved up to investment banking (ever heard of Frontier Airlines?) before I started a Quant Fund. My partners and I shut that down 6 months before the 2008 financial crisis, following our trade rules. After that, I continued to manage money for high net worth individuals, professional athletes and other investment professionals. I also created private investment products in real estate, water rights, and business acquisitions. Over my career, I was involved in over $3.5 billion in capital raises across over 100 different companies in varied industries.

I retired in December 2022 and after taking a month off, I had no idea what I was going to do. I had heard about Reddit where people shared stock trading advice and investment strategies. So I posted in the Wall Street Bets subreddit (r/WallStreetBets) discussing how the Fed and other Central Banks use oil prices and currency markets to manipulate the VIX volatility index, and vice versa.

In 24 hours that Wall Street Bets post got over a million views on Reddit and well, the rest is history in the making. After reading through the numerous responses sharing how stupid I was I found a couple of people who, frankly, were just enjoyable to talk with. That led to creating a Reddit trading community which led to a Discord trading community which has resulted in over 60 students I have mentored to become professional traders in a little over 2 years. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to provide trading advice and mentor traders, teaching them how to trade profitably and break from all the lies and false promises that 99% of so called “trading gurus” peddle as success. Being able to watch people’s lives change because they learn to trade successfully through real stock market education is something I never planned for. Life is often like that.
