Hey, thanks for stopping by! You might have stumbled across this site from Stocktwits, Twitter, or simply just searching for FI or FF blogs (Financial Independence or Financial Freedom). I’m just someone that works in a completely different field from finance, but I have a background in programming and enjoy controlling my own finances. I’ve worked hard to build a DGI portfolio as well as learning the in’s and out’s of trading and investing.
I might be considered a mega-bull among some fintwits, as you’ll always find me going after long trades/investments and rarely concern myself with a short position. I will hedge where appropriate, but for the most part I know that there is always something to invest in at a good value. I strive for financial freedom and early retirement, and to get there I am building a DGI folio alongside a growth folio.
I have studied a bit of elliot wave trading and tend to look for those patterns in my trades, and I’ve also done a bit of custom indicators on the think or swim platform, so if you see some “interesting” things on my charts, feel free to ask about them.
Investing
I have always held a 401k in my career, but I have never paid much attention to it. It was only recently (2014) when I started to follow it more closely and began to consolidate portfolios and follow funds. When I switched jobs, I rolled my 401 over and began to manually invest in order to build an income portfolio. I have specific goals for that rollover to build up to retirement, but I also hold investment accounts and a Roth, all of which I am actively using to grow the accounts.
Sharing
In my years investing, I have found that the market is a very unforgiving beast. Many friends that I have met through the many online resources have lost money through poor investment choices, including myself. Despite the many free resources out there, there are still people that have trouble finding their footing on investing and trading. Some people get lured into pay-for sites and chat rooms, and while there are some good pay resources for market analysis, there are also many bad ones. I will admit that all of my ideas will not be the best, but I strive to hit a high win-rate on trades and always look for legitimate growing companies to invest in. I hope that visitors to this site will gain some info and find good trade ideas that will bring you profit. If you do profit from any of these ideas, or if you agree or disagree with them, I encourage you to comment and reach out!
