Growing up poor and living in violent neighborhoods didn’t stop Erik Smolinski from being motivated and curious. Erik only needed to hear a few words about investing including the power of compounding from his high school instructor to light the passion and determination to take ACTION.

His use of derivatives strategies help him to minimize painful drawdowns while creating consistent, long term market-beating returns.
