I'll start by introducing myself.

I have worked in real estate for eight years. Started with Garrow Loftis GMAC in Flushung MI. Residential listings & buyers agent.  I then made a lateral move to C-21 woodland Flushing MI. Where I had my first experiences in commercial real state.

I then made a move to Florida where I took classes at the Florida institute of real estate for my RE Brokers license passed the class but, opted to start my own real estate investment company the Attain Investment Group. I then proceeded to acquire properties which peaked at 30.

My goals include continuing to building institutional relationships.  I'm currently studying for my series sixty five investments advisers license.

It was only since I lost my *ss in MI & FL that I figured out if I had been paying attention to what was happening in the markets I could still be sitting pretty.

I'm looking forward to meeting you.

All the Best, Lee

Hi Lee.

I'm a web marketer.  Working hard to make it just like everyone else.

For us, understanding the markets is based upon a deeper understanding of human action and capital theory.

I am a 27 year old blue collar type living in Ohio; I repair and maintain die casting machines that produce aluminum parts.  I have attended 'some college' but I will probably just finish trade school instead. 

I admit to having less formal education than your average Misesean probably has.

Nothing wrong with that.  I worked in tool & die for a decade.

18-year-old and (not quite yet) high school graduate. Looking for a profitable trade to learn.

One of my main goals in life is to make lots of money and buy neat stuff with it (e.g., staff cars for the Mises Institute Smile).

Hi Lee, welcome aboard!

After college I worked for a few years as a title examiner for a Troy, MI based real estate title agency.  I was laid off in September of 2006 during the first wave of the "crash." I was unemployed for a few weeks before landing a great job with a well-known market research company, where I currently wear many hats: research, analyst, number-cruncher, graphics programmer, master Excel user, applications test/QA, etc.

I began my MA in Econ back in 2005 at Walsh College in Troy, MI.  Finished in in 2007 I think.  They had a very strong "Austrian" program a few years ago (we sent 7 students to Mises University in August 2006), but I think the Econ program has since been cut due to some administrative changes.

I'm a self-taught libertarian, anarchist, agorist, whatever you call it.  I'd like to do meaningful, fulfilling work without having to report my income for taxation/confiscation.  I'm halfway there; you can guess which half :)

Hello,

I have a B.A. in HIstory.  One of the most worthless degrees  you could get.  I am currently working in Helpdesk support.  My wife who does not have a degree, make more than I do.  I am currently trying to get a B.S. in finance.

At most, I think only 5% of the adult population would need to stop cooperating to have real change.

I'm a 22 year old university student finishing up my (rubbish) anthropology degree. I'm a self-taught anarcho-capitalist, pretty hoppeian. My interests include economics (obviously), epistemology, and evolutionary psychology. I'm planning to write an anarcho-capitalist didactic novel this summer when I get done with school. I wanted to write non-fiction books, but reading Atlas Shrugged recently convinced me that writing didactic fiction would be a more fruitful (and sorely needed) endeavor.

My central goal in life is to live, if even for a moment, freely in an anarcho-capitalist society.
