The Dam has burst

​Since my last post, I got off my butt and put my nose out the door. I saw the world starting to open. Fear is still in the air, but people are less afraid every day.

After watching my savings dwindle over the past year, it is clear that it is time to take the 20 years of experience in events and put it to good use. It's time to reflect on how things were done and pivot to how they are being done today. Times have changed over the last 2 years.

For me, it is about looking and listening to everyone I see and hear, including what people are posting on social media. Are the events of old as popular as they used to be? I don't know. I have been busy learning about the stock market. 

In the past two years, I have been investing, trading, and playing in the stock market, getting up at 5 am each working day and researching, testing, risking, winning, and losing money. This educational period is priceless. How did I do?

In 2020, I rocked the market, almost doubling my portfolio. In 2021, it was flat as I dove into different trading styles: day trading, swing trading, and my current favorite, position trading. 2021 was the year I tried to learn more about the market. March 1, 2021, is when I look at it as a job. In 2022, the market went into a bear market, and I took heavy losses, but still held most of my gains from 2020. Unlike 2020, I kept invested through the bear market. Another learning lesson is in play.

On February 25th, 2015, I started Nomad Market Events, a company dedicated to giving micro-businesses and artists a platform to sell their creations. This is not an online platform; it is real and tactile, meeting people, and selling directly to them old school, in person. It started with Fashion Splash in 2014, and now it is time to pour new energy into it. Nomad Market Events
