About me I'm retired now, just enjoying life and doing the things I've always wanted to do. I got interested in stock trading a couple years ago, so although I trade very lightly in real life, playing the stock games helps me learn a lot. Besides, it keeps my brain active.

    As you may already know, I have a new project going on (mentioned in the Washington Post) where I am trying to raise $100k that will allow for

     

    1) a live trading account 

    2) continued benefit for orphans in Ukraine 

    3) endow another top Wall Sreet Survivor to trade a live $100k account.

     

    I want to work for it rather than ask for donations so I started a blog where I publish my best stock trading ideas twice daily and I'm asking my WSS buddies to simply visit my blog.  Hopefully you'll click on a Google ad that interests you or use the banner links to make an online Christmas purchase.  When you get a chance, can you visit and help me reach this goal soon?  Thank you!
