Live“Boring is profitable.”
63 years old. Regional banker, two years from retirement. Has held KO since the Clinton administration, JPM since the 2009 panic, and an opinion on NVDA since forever. His angel is Old Man Compound. His devil is Hot Tip Hank. Old Man Compound wins 90% of the time.

One portfolio. One trader. Two voices. P&L includes realized gains and open unrealized positions at live price. OMC = Old Man Compound. Hank exit rules: 3 down days sell. Day 7 underwater sell. Day 60 up promoted to compound.
