Something You Probably Didn't Know

So, I'm in a professional band called Johnny and the Rebels. It is a lot of fun and in a small way, a dream come true. I was just about to go into some detail about the band but remembered in fact that I just finished creating our website which is now available at www.johnnyandtherebels.com. This week is our grand opening! Go check it out and learn more about who we are. I bet ya'll didn't know that about Ben.

You know, I was thinking earlier today if you all knew what it was I do for my occupation. I thought I'd settle the matter since I'm tired of hearing all kinds of rumors ranging from being a pig farmer to organized crime. I am actually a market education consultant for a company called Spread Trade Systems. We specialize in investment education dealing primarily in stocks and options. Let me put it this way: I absolutley love what I do. I basically consult investors all over the world with what it is they are missing and what it is they can do to better their results. Yes, there has definitely been a long and never ending learning curve, but my career has proven to already be invaluable. Not only has economics basically become my profession, but I'm learning a great deal about how to make money in the stock market which has brought a significant value to my career and aspirations in life. When I was younger, I often thought what my career would be like. I never imagined it would involve the stock market.

You can visit the company website, www.spreadtradesystems.com, and learn a great deal more about what I do. So, if you're into investing and need help, or if you're considering getting into the market, consider me a contact. This may be a bit premature, but I'm actually writing a book about what I've learned thus far. It's called "What I Wish I Would Have Known Before I Dumped My Money Into The Market." In short, you can refer to it as "My Money in the Market." It's basically a collection of everything I've learned and gathered from conversations I've had with my coaches in our program and indiviudal investors from all over the world. I thought about one day approaching Uncle Steve and Aunt Jan about publishing it, but it has a lot of work ahead of it. Well, until next time...

Hey Ben my blogging cousin! To me, the stock market is a complete mystery. I don't understand any of the words associated with it and anyone who does is, in my opinion, some sort of genius! You know that thing they always show in movies with the yelling and holding up of papers on the market floor? What the heck is that all about-I can't make any sense of it!

I visited your band's site and can't wait to hear you guys play! I think Jonny and I will attend your gig at the rest home in April. Can't wait! P.S. We live closer to you and Linds now. We moved to a little duplex in AF a few weeks ago. So we'll have to chill soon!

Hey Ben! I also wish I knew more about the market. Actually, I wish I knew more about how to know more about the market.

Keep up the entries!
