As someone who works at a fund, couldn’t agree more. This is inspiring not only the $ gain but the freedom it affords you.

Amazing!! I’ve only followed closely since the beginning of this year and watched the account grow from $4-5m to $11m, even after the April dip.

I feel like I’ve learnt so much over the past year so selfishly hope you don’t stop anytime soon. This girl wants to hit her FIRE goal too :P

It's been such a pleasure just following you along your journey for the last one and a half year or so I have known you! Of course I wish to be in your shoes someday, but even more importantly I aspire to think like you and be able to execute the ideas like you do!

Congratulations on reaching your milestone! You deserve every bit of the success you're enjoying!

Congratulations on reaching this milestone. As a subscriber since January I’ve posted a few notes of thanks along the way (when closing CRWV, GNRC trades for big gains) but this feels like an apropos moment to thank you again for developing and sharing your approach to trading and risk management every day, and on weekends too. I’ve learned a ton, and needless to say, the subscription has paid for itself many times over.

thanks for the kind words, I always like hearing when people refine their approach to attacking the market and really learning how to make money in ways besides just being long stock

Congrats James! Been following since the beginning! Amazing work, I think what’s even more spectacular is your P&L curve. You keep your losses small and flat on the downturns, where a lot of other traders take big drawdowns.

Congrats James on the milestone! Beyond inspiring- not only in terms of $$$ but more importantly what it allows you to have - freedom with time! (The greatest asset of all) Your point on finance bros is spot on. And pls don’t retire just yet, many of us want to hit our $ milestones too! Take care and God Bless
