Catfish I think we have much different situations. I think you've previously said you're near retirement age. Me, I'm thirty with a car payment and a mortgage on a "fixer-upper"....and with hopes of raising a family eventually.
I started this year with a measly $6,000 in my brokerage account....and $5,000 of it is borrowed from a credit card. I set some outlandish goals for quarterly profit targets just to keep enough income to keep up with the bills. I surprised myself when I actually met the first goal to earn 300% in 3 months, thanks mainly to your timely advice on SSPI and BOCX.
But I couldn't continue to meet those goals....and a good job came up.....so I'm working this contract job for as long as they'll let me.....and trying to manage the portfolio to have a little larger seed bank when I return to this in the spring.
Thanks to you, GPG, and the others that share your expertise to make these kinds of returns possible for the average guy like me.
