DHaaland, that is terrific. Would you tell us a little more about your history, how/why you started investing and methods you used. I think your situation is important for younger people to hear/learn about.

Are you retiring on your stock investments alone or other investments as well. If so, how did you develop these.

Thanks. Don't mean to make this too personal. And congratulations.

FANTASTIC
Not bad for a truck driver who started investing 23 years ago withholding six dollars a week off of his check
Sounds like persistance and knowledge has won again

Wow!

Congrats D!

So what are you going to do with all your "free" time?

Why don't you post a message on your investment strategy that brought you so far. I know I'd love to hear it.
