Chris lived in Fairfield, Iowa at the time and told me he typically only went to Chicago once a month to trade – especially loved the quarterly triple witching hours – so Mike is correct in that he was not a daily trader.

very inspirational story but the statement related to his time spent as a commodities broker can’t be true -

“six down days in his seven years of floor trading”

there’s no way he was an active trader – if he was active:

assume he traded 200 days/yr * 7 yrs = 1400 trading days – he was profitable 99.6% days – bs.

Agreed. Inspirational from both a business perspective and on a personal level. You read this and you don’t only want his money, you want to succeed and help others like him as well.

“It seems that everything Dr. Hartnett touches turns to gold”

This is great news for us .tv investors/developers. Hartnett owns or co-owns a whopping 17 thousand .TV domains. This is yet one more example among many where Dr Hartnett is ahead of the game and will cash in big time as major media companies and end users continue adapting .tv, the only worldwide TLD that instantly stands for online video and is known across any and all countries and languages with 60 plus years of real world branding behind it.
