Sounds like an interesting story. Have you written about it anywhere or would you care to elaborate here?
not that interesting, invested $400k, ran it up over a million while living off it, got squeezed by high expenses (two 15 year mortgages and $200k in therapy bills for autistic daughter) right when market crashed, made a couple hundred thousand playing poker, realized that sucked, started app business, first app took off well but teetered out, now i work for the man.
