BB -

I think its time to post.... based on what you have posted you are claiming to have started with around $12,000 (PV of $210,000 a 75%) at the age of 17 and by the current age of 22 you have around $210,000 (assuming a million discounted 21.5% 8 yrs) with an expected million at the age of 30....enlighten us. You sound like you must have done one of the following: got some serious help along the way, you are an incredible investors specializing in penny stocks or you did not calculate you returns correctly. Taxes been bad?

BB; where do I send the cash!?

At a 20% w/r I really do not need to work anymore! On the other hand - why lower it all the way down to that when you have 75% as a proven return! I could have retired 15 years ago!

I suspect that some great penny investments have done something earlier and then some dividing on the calculator came out funny. I could be wrong!

Cheers!
