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.
