Jim’s impact on me:

My Ihub profile says that my alias was born in 2003. I’ve been following Jim (and Steve) much longer than that. I remember the RagingBull days very well. I’ve gone through periods of being a free subscriber to a paid subscriber and back again several times over.

When I first started reading and learning about trading I found my way to the messages boards. I learned over time- wow, you can’t always believe what you read on the internet…especially about penny stocks. But I stuck with it, and through time learned that Jim and TGL was one of my most valuable resources of information. It’s always been my favorite by far.

I could write a book on what I learned by reading Jim’s and Steve’s posts, but I’ll try to keep this short. Both of these guys transformed me from a newbie (I’m a computer programmer by trade), to someone who, throughout the years, has personally brought two companies public (via IPO’s), and made life-changing gains in the process. Jim never knew his impact on me. In this short space I can’t describe how Jim’s valuable information has served me through the years. (Same goes to you Steve). Crediting 90% of my knowledge and desire to TGL, I was able to create, from scratch, two public shells, file the S-1’s, sell shares, market the company, and sell both for handsome profits. One of the shells I created is now a company with $15 million in annual sales with a market cap around $30 million. My hope is that the company lives on and on, long after I’m gone too. It’ll be a perpetual legacy, and hit has mine and Jim’s handprints on it.

Although he never knew it, Jim helped change my life; not just financially. He was a big part of helping me follow my dreams through education and honesty. And I know for sure I’m just a small part of his positive impact on the world. RIP Jim.
