 My Dad was my inspiration. He had a great respect for hard earned money and how money works. He loved the stock market. When I was 13 years old I had my first account and for my research I had to write to request the prospectus of any company I wanted to invest in so that I would understand the company financials.

After that it was all up hill!

I was fortunate that I always traded, invested, and was involved in the ‘market’. I had a mentor with a seat on the exchange and it was an exhilarating time. I once lost a million dollars in 3 days over-leveraging a bond position. I never forgot that lesson.

My husband and I are a team. He creates and trades, I trade and teach.  I also spend as much time as possible with three wonderful and understanding daughters, Christy, Donna and Robin.
