💸 Building Towards Early Retirement. Escape the 9-5

[mbready]

If you’re using an Apple or Android device, you might be interested in an app called AfterHours.

Through AfterHours, you can follow people who have turned $10k into $10 million. The app was developed by SIRJACK (which, coincidentally, is my best friend’s name). It uniquely verifies accounts, giving you confidence that you’re learning from experienced traders who are transparent about their results.

A bit about me: my wife and I save nearly all of our money, carry no debt, and own a paid-off remodeled hotel that we’re converting into a rental property. We’re in our mid-30s and set to retire sooner than later depending on an upcoming appraisal.

I’m sharing this app because it provides direct access to knowledgeable day traders. For me, this kind of access isn’t about retirement in the traditional sense—like buying a condo or traveling the world. Instead, it is about escaping the normal 9-5. In my life I’d prefer to volunteer ~20 hours a week at local SPCA shelters instead of being forced to maintain a hospital mechanically for 40+ hour a week.

While I’m not many things, I can confidently say I’m an excellent dog trainer. I’d like to dedicate time working with dogs that need additional training beyond basic ownership skills to make them candidates for adoption.

If you decide to join AfterHours, you can find me under the username “sp_az”. I just completed a detailed introduction to their community last night.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks, will share with my son . . .

I made my second post on Afterhour after turning my proof-of-concept portfolio on Robinhood from negative $1,415 (approximately -8%) to positive $1,250 (approximately +8%) over the course of about two months. All due diligence—a term I learned there (who knew there was such a thing! )—was conducted exclusively on the app.

Thank You AfterHours Family!

Proof of 5% in one day for the experimental portfolio:

Then my luck continued… My wife and I are on a mini vacation, and I hit a royal flush for the first time ever on a video poker machine (I don’t gamble much, so this was quite the shock !)

Also got lucky and found what is called a bookend serial number on a $5 bill we received as change, which is worth more than the face value of the bill!

Lastly, happy early Halloween to all! The casino had some pretty cool decorations. This is one of my favorites:

Since September 6, 2024, the Afterhour app has played a pivotal role in accelerating my journey toward early retirement, helping me achieve a 57.24% portfolio increase in funds I consider expendable—all in just a few months.

Today marks an exciting step forward as I begin integrating ChatGPT o3 High’s advanced market analysis into my trading strategy. After extensive discussions, deep-dive charting, and historical pattern analysis, it identified three high-probability breakout stocks for the coming week:

Upstart Holdings (UPST) – Ascending Triangle
Aeva Technologies (AEVA) – Cup & Handle
Rezolve AI (RZLV) – Ascending Triangle

Using classical technical analysis and decades of market research, it has mapped out ideal entry points based on breakout confirmations:

UPST: Buy at $69.00 on volume-backed resistance break

AEVA: Buy at $4.65 if the cup-and-handle confirms

RZLV: Buy at $2.75 on ascending triangle breakout

Historical success rates:
Cup & Handle: ~75–80%
Ascending Triangles: ~70–75%

With these statistical probabilities, the coming week will determine whether these plays break out as expected or face short-term retracements.

If this collaboration proves successful, it will mark something significant—AI-driven market analysis is now on par with, if not surpassing, human intuition.

I’ll be tracking this closely and will provide updates on whether these probabilistic edges translate into actual gains. Let’s see how the market plays out next week.

After posting I saw my post before this was a resturant that was decorated for haloween.

My wife and I just got back from a mini vacation to the same place and they were decorated for Valentine’s Day.

To muh wife …

Paramore: Still Into You [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

"Can’t count the years on one hand we’ve been together…

I should be over all the butterflies
But I’m into you (I’m into you)…

Let 'em wonder how we got this far
'Cause I don’t really need to wonder at all
Yeah, after all this time I’m still into you…

Well, some things just, some things just make sense,
And one of those is you and I
Let 'em wonder how we got this far,
'Cause I don’t really need to wonder at all,
Yeah, after all this time I’m still into you,

Well, some things just, some things just make sense,
And one of those is you and I."
