ABOUT:
I started investing in stocks with my Dad back in 2012 and I fell in love with it immediately. I really enjoy keeping up with the latest stock news, dissecting companies' balance sheets, and analyzing stock charts to find the stocks with the most upside potential. What started with a $3,000 investment in Facebook's IPO in 2012 has turned into a portfolio of over $1,000,000 today and has allowed me to focus on stocks full time. I would like nothing more than to help others make money in the stock market also.
