Lately.
I have been missing in action for a while. Sorry to not keep you guys in the loop. A lot has been going on in my life. There have been a lot of hills and valleys to gaps and mountains even. So, where do I even start to begin?
Ok, I guess I will start with what kept me away from my computer first and that was my health. I started getting sicker but that was just the tip of the iceberg. My primary care doctor was issued new regulations about pain medication and was no longer allowed to prescribe to me the amounts of medicine I was getting for the last 5 years, never mind the new ailments. This sent me on referrals through 5 different pain doctor offices because of the medicine I am on is literally "blacklisted" here in South Carolina. It has THC in it and therefore I can "fail" a drug test but not be dirty. At pain doctors, unlike the primary care doctor, they drug test you to get your prescriptions. If you come up dirty, you don't get them. This led to a LOT of trouble for me. In one office, my fiance broke down crying because of my argument with the doctor. He told me he was the only one left in town willing to see me since I took that drug, which is prescribed to me by my primary care doctor because it is the only thing that helps with my degenerative disc disease.
This doctor cut my pain management meds because I had that to further complicate my health. It led to me being hospitalized on two different occasions for a week at a time. My primary care doctor told me his hands are tied but will give me any referrals I want/need if I find a new doctor. That was just the health part. I am slowly recovering. I still am on antibiotics and I have finally stopped throwing up from all of the changes I have been put through.
The next thing I have done was study. I have been studying since September. I have finally made the jump after using virtual trading for months and went to live stock market trading last week. I am strictly trading in and for the Green Rush. If anyone is familiar with that term then you know how time consuming that can be. The Green Rush can be life changing within a week if you do your homework.
WELLLL.. I started last Wednesday. Today, 8 days later. I have DOUBLED MY MONEY!! I don't mean $100 to $200 either.. I mean $2000 to $4000 in 8 days! I have a stock list of companies that are new with solid partners. Many of these companies are global already and just new to the U.S of A. Many of these companies are able to be traded on the NASDAQ or NYSE at pennies a share to a few dollars a share. There are some set to go far in the very near future and some ready to go far in the future too.. some have major partners like Dana Farber Institute and 240M in assets and still can be bought for $0.12 a share today.. Next month/week it could be $7.50 a share + who knows yet as there are other mergers in the works too. It is all in the news articles at the bottom of yahoo finance or whatever page you are looking them up at.
I have been teaching family members how to do this while I have been recovering. I made one family member over $25K in a 30 day period on 2 stocks by telling them when to get in and out. They listened and we're successful. The 10% gift from her was very nice too. It is what I am trading with myself today. I did not have any money to invest myself when I started but by sharing my knowledge, I was gifted a starting seed.
Then, my son has a mind of his own all of a sudden because he turned 18 in January. Now, don't get me wrong, it was no big surprise about his birthday but this sudden attitude change is dramatic. He comes out with I will just move out then. How easily he forgets he is still in High School until June. I am still the parent until he is out of school.. we get along as long as it fits HIS ideas now. That is the most time consuming and challenging of all the things I have been doing lately. I hope he comes back down to Earth soon! He needs a reality check.

We have a bad system in place when it comes to medicine. Pharmaceuticals provide medicine that only masks the issue, cause a large number of addictions,and can cause other health issues.And cost? A lot of people don't even have coverage.Sorry to hear your struggles,I can relate,I too suffer from degenerative disc's . However, You have been blessed during your adversity.Congrats to you and your family.It was probably the help you needed.I would say, you've got something there,hope the good luck continues.I was always curious, tell me your secrets!.Hopefully you'll find a doctor willing to help you.And continued success with WA.
What would you like to know? You can message me and I will answer any question if I have the answers
I've always been curious about stocks, but never tried, have you heard of binary options, and is it safe? It would be nice to find another Avenue, I would love to have more time to wrk. on my WA projects.
Options themselves are a good way to make money daily but lock you into contract terms.. 3 week, 4 week, to 6 week time limits to hold a certain stock that you actually rented .. That you didn't buy.. You have the option to buy.. If it went up like you guessed it would, then your contract fills and your option pays out.. If it does not go up like you guessed.. You are screwed and you are commuted to buying that option contract in full price. This is where now they run your credit because you have to have enough equity to be able to do options. I do not have enough liquid assets to do options. My brokerage won't open options to me because it could potentially break me on a couple of bad calls. It is safer to buy simple stocks and sell simple stocks . I have made plenty off of the stocks without options and their risks
Yes, In the end of it all, I am on an upward trend. I am just away from the things I was used to. I am doing a totally different thing than what I thought I would be doing 6 months ago, even 3 months ago. It is something that I am willing to teach others to do too. I have been doing that with family and friends so far but now I am ready to go further with that.
I have had debates on giving away that information (the ticker symbols themselves or the explanations to go with them those are just as if not more valuable) or as some have told me giving them away on a commission basis too. a 5% tip would be worth it to those that would have nothing without the tip. They would lose nothing if they invest nothing too. so it would be a win-win situation too. One way to keep a cash flow going I am told when I am sick and out of the market myself. These are some of the next ideas I have been tossing around
You are on a rolla coaster there Mike wishing you wellll with your recovery. Looks like you have a system that works keep us up to date with your progress, very interesting.
Hi Mike, you are going through the hoops with health concers and still you have found time to pass on knowledge to family members and make money. I take of my hat to you. Irv.
I found that the studying of the stocks was soothing my mind. I was SOOO upset with the doctors. I had to find something to distract me and watching the stocks was a distraction. I started to read about the Green Rush, which is start up marijuana companies. from seeds to transportation and everything inbetween. There are literally tens of thousands of companies in the Green Rush so picking a winner is hard to do. You have to find the right ones and who they are connected to. It is all in WHO YOU KNOW and where they are connected to in this industry. By following the patterns and following the same investors to different companies, I have found strong bases and have gone out from there to make a big list of companies to follow. I have only grown it from there

Things sound rough Mike. I hope you can get the medication thing sorted out.
I wish I could say I will get it straightened out but I won't. THEY have decided that because of the length of time I have been on the drugs and the dosages they have had me on, I NO LONGER should have that much. Ok, nothing has changed in the diagnosis per my primary care doctor. This is why my primary care doctor was upset he was having to send me to a pain specialist to start giving me my pain regiment. He KNEW that right off of the bat that they were going to mess with my meds. This is why he continues to give me the blacklisted one himself. He said it is for 1) legal and allowable and has 99% of the qualities of medical marijuana in pill form (it does have side effects though unlike medical marijuana) 2) it has THC in it which will make me drop dirty for pot which will cause me to have trouble with the pain doctors. They "can't tell" if I am smoking marijuana or taking my medicine like I am supposed to be. I am a card holding medical marijuana patient in another state when I moved here so I am qualified to have it in my system anyway by state law but not federal law which is now "cracking down on marijuana".
That in itself is a ruse to cover up that they have not yet figured a good way to tax it in all its forms and all its ways across the US of A's borders. That to me is more of the reason why they are wanting to build a wall between Mexico and the US of A. I do not know how much press it gets internationally but the amount of marijuana that gets caught through the underground tunnels from Mexico into Arizona,New Mexico and California each year is not measured in pounds but measured in tons. They catch 2-3 tons at a time (or 2,000 to 3,000 pounds)
Silly laws when it comes to marijuana. Smoked it for years and yes I agree with not smoking and driving, but to deny someone who really needs it for medicinal purposes is really asinine .
Absolutely. I use it for medicinal reasons. I don't get high from it and I don't drive when I use it either. I treat it like I would any other chemical substance in my body.. No driving or making financial decisions while under the influence of any type of substance is one of my personal rules. It can be regulated properly by adults. It does not need a "big brother" or government to tell us how to use it
