As detailed by Chapter 8 in my book An American Hedge Fund, I made my first million dollars in 4 years and before my 22nd birthday, hitting that mark—post-tax—after making $80,000+ on one crazy trade over a satellite internet connection while aboard a cruise ship in the South Pacific! (seriously)
Yesterday—just 6 months into my blogging adventure and two days before my 27th birthday, this website hit the coveted 1 million views mark.
Since that first $1 million, it’s been a wild 5 years filled with tremendous ups and downs but the learning has never stopped. Obviously if I had to choose between dollars vs. page views, I’d choose dollars, but this event is still significant because this website is my future and I’m forever grateful to all you readers out there for checking in regularly enough to make this business model—trading, writing, teaching all with brutal honesty—viable. Since this technology is all still pretty new, I really believe this is just the beginning.
So, thank you—truly—I think this is only gonna get better and while I still have yet to get to the $2 million mark—post-tax—at this site’s current pace, we should hit 2 million views inside of the next 100 days…sounds like a good excuse for a party, right?
