Always Learning & Growing. Construction Worker → Investor → BTC, ETH, stocks & Options. I am Zen in chaos. I am a balance of Patience, Trust in myself & Luck
From dirt to dollars. This is my story.
At 17 I said fuck it and dropped out of high school to run heavy machinery on road crews. 12 hour days, 7 days a week, covered in dust and diesel. I worked EVERY job on site. Laborer , operator, surveyor, foreman and then site superintendent. At 26 I went back and finished high school at night just so I could get into college and come out the other side as a civil engineer tech running multi million dollar projects as a PM.
Then 2020 hit. Jobs slowed, I suddenly had time. I took the little money I’d scraped together and dove head first into markets. Rookie year? Absolute clown show. Over trading like a degenerate, breaking even during 6 months of market incline. 2021 came, mania everywhere, and I rode the rocket up… then never took a single dollar off the table. 2022? I learned markets don’t just go up! Portfolio got absolutely eviscerated. Most people would’ve quit.
I didn’t. Every single paycheck for the last 4 years, no matter how brutal the red candles, I kept buying. Crypto, stocks, whatever I believed in. I stacked it like I was still stockpiling gravel on site.
Today? I’m sitting on life changing money I couldn’t have dreamed of back when I was 17 sleeping in my truck to save rent.
Construction taught me how to build things that last. Markets taught me how to build wealth that provides time.
From dropout to construction manager, to a healthy sized portfolio I often wonder if I deserve. From moving earth, to my journey to the moon.
Now that I have reached all the goals I set 10 years ago I struggle with, whats enough? Why do I continue to work for someone else everyday? Why do I continue to risk the wealth I’ve already built with a lil luck and patience?
Where do I go from here?
@dividendology Yes, then you invest what you can afford into the market only to have the taxed money taxed again! Then you use that taxed and taxed money to pay for your property taxes
In Canada dividends are taxed as income so I end up giving away almost 50% immediately. Selling options is taxed as capital gains! Meaning, only half is taxed, leaving me with 75% vs 50%. Much more profitable option 🤑👀
I love dividends
But I love Option Premiums more
With Options trading you can make ANY stock into a dividend paying stock
Wanna create your own dividends by Selling Options?
You can sell puts and calls on stocks like $TSLA $NVDA $AMZN
@Rianstone@Gubloinvestor What is that supposed to change? I have more construction projects to build than I have people to do the work. I will hire, train and provide everything you need to get started. You only have two responsibilities, the ability to show up and breath. This economy is booming.
@MarketManiaCa Move to Edmonton, my company has WAY more work than people to do the work. I will hire you without any experience tomorrow. Tell your friends
I can agree there’s this common attitude with Canadians right now. But if you feel this way, you just don’t fully understand your options.
Not only are there plenty of entry-level, no experience required jobs paying $23+/hr (with tons of OT at $34.50/hr), but Edmonton is one of the most cost-effective places to live in Canada.
If you don’t believe me, HMU and I’ll hire you tomorrow.
Maybe you’re just living in the wrong location.
Anyone and everyone has real opportunity here. It’s just a matter of whether you’re willing to work for it. 💪 #AlbertaStrong #CanadianOpportunity #WorkForIt
@WealthCoachMak I’m not sure how your margin account works but I have to lock up the total value of Put - credit. So my buying power is reduced by $16,728

@grok If this clarity act does not get passed in 2026, do you believe crypto continues to fall? If so, what is your estimated bottom for $BTC and $ETH?
👀 @grok
The Crypto CLARITY Act was everywhere… now it’s crickets.
It cleared the House and Senate Banking Committee and landed on the Senate calendar, but where’s the full floor vote?
What’s the real status right now, and what’s your best estimate on when it might actually pass?
Crypto fam, anyone else noticing the silence? Are we entering a long crypto bear market? 👇
#CLARITYAct #Crypto #BullorBear
@grok@grok What percentage chance do you believe it passes this year? If it passes this year, which sector do you think benefits most? DeFi, stablecoins, BTC/ETH, ETFs, or something else? Or does delay actually help by letting the market mature first?
Only ~5% of SpaceX stock is floating right now
~95% $SPCX is still locked
Most don’t realize bearish pressure often comes later, when insiders finally get liquidity
