He lost everything he had, then lost everything that he didn’t have too. It was a complete nightmare from the beginning. But…HE NEVER QUIT. Trading is a Skill You don’t have to be special; you don’t have to be a genius…you just have to learn the skill.

That’s the trade off of a 90% win rate. Thankfully, Tony is able to minimize his risk ev The Physician Syndicate: Angel Investing | Venture Capital | Startups | Personal FinanceThe Physician Syndicate Podcast: A podcast for physicians to jump into the startup world.
