Retired, living in South Florida. We have been investing for 40 years and lean towards a conservative approach with dividend paying blue chips, as well as a small amount of short term risk plays.
We hedge with option strategies, and watch trends. 
We have always handled our own portfolio, and firmly believe that anyone can learn to navigate the market and its risks and rewards by doing ongoing research, watching the world around us, and keeping an eye on trends and politics.
Our goal here is to simplify the world of investing by making it a bit more personal, entertaining, and down to earth.
We are not trying to sell anything, nor are we looking for "clients" since we are not  professional advisors, or stock brokers.
We simply want folks to read our articles, give us feedback, follow us, and let us know how we are doing.
We look forward to any and all comments and hope that you enjoy our style.</description>
