Revolutionizing My Returns

So there will be no confusion, I will begin by clarifying the address of my blog.  The 5500 is a group of dollar bills that went into action on May 9th, 2007 in the interest of my family’s financial future.  They have served well; able to recruit four times their number as of September 30.  Oh yes, there have been significant casualties along the way, but what revolution begins without some form of loss?  What uprising that dreams of a renewed livelihood for its masses reaches that goal without sacrifice?!  

I saw 40% losses before the turn around that I have not looked back from.  I can remember that low point very clearly.  My head was full of worry that I had made a terrible mistake and that I would have to accept a massive loss in a personal investment.  But less than two weeks later, I had my next day that will live forever in my mind; the day that I had one position that was worth as much as my entire account at that low point.

Since then, things have been steadily increasing.  Landmark days have been $11,000.00, $15,000.00 and most recently $20,000.00.  $20,000.00!!!!  I had schoolboy dreams of getting there by the end of the year and here I am with another three months to climb before then.  Now, I will be finding out if it was beginners luck, or if I really have a knack for aggressive investment strategies.  Stay posted!
