Forced out of retirement by these trades (Ad)

You know, I never really intended to get in front of a camera and tell folks about a new market paradigm that I discovered. Even though I have a bright and shiny “resume,” I thought I’d left investing behind forever. And I was more than happy to be a stay-at-home dad… But then I discovered Gamma Pockets… and everything changed
