Mike Bishop - Investor, lifelong student of the markets, developer of “sleep at night” portfolio strategies. Follow my journey to achieving financial independence & retire early (FIRE).

By utilizing my investing models, my goal is to beat the stock market (using the S&P 500 index as my benchmark) over most long term periods with similar volatility and lower drawdowns.

I have developed my systems through many years of research and actual trading with some of my accounts. I decided to go live beginning in 2021 by publishing this newsletter. I dedicated two of my IRA accounts to match the portfolio and trades outlined here. I will post all of my trades and account balances periodically for subscribers to see.

To be completely honest, I'm probably too old to retire as early as most envision when thinking of FIRE. However, my journey is with real money in actual Roth IRA accounts, which will serve as a proof of concept for my investing models that I have developed through my own experiences and exhaustive research.

I've been using my models for a number of years, but I haven't previously posted my trades on any public blog, forum, or other website. My publicly documented investing will provide credibility to my models and historical performance figures which I'll be posting as we go along on my journey.

So bookmark this website, or even better, sign up for my newsletter and follow along!
