I am the ex-editor of Profits Unlimited, an investment newsletter with a peak base of 160,000 subscribers. Between 2016 - 2021 I helped thousands of Main Street Americans make big money in the stock and crypto markets. I have generated big wins for them which include two 1000% gains and an estimated 50+ gains of 900% to 100%.
In September 2022, after Banyan Hill declined to negotiate a renewal, I founded ATG Digital. ATG Digital is a community driven enterprise. Our goal is to make financial freedom accessible to everyday people.
My ideas generate from using behavioral finance. Combining psychology —matching price behavior to language/trading/information patterns— and deep financial analysis, I generate superior returns from stock, option and crypto markets. My method is organically created from over 10,000 hours of research combining it with 25 years of actual hands-on trading, speculating and investing.
