Welcome to my blog.  I have owned my domain name for a few years and finally got around to getting my personal blog up the other day.  I still have a lot of site editing to do but for now at least I can post.

Here’s a little about me.  I was born in the late seventies and was raised primarily in Cody, Wyoming and Provo, Utah with an eventful stop in East Lansing, Michigan and stops in Laramie, Wyoming and Park City, Utah as well.  I also served a LDS mission to Puerto Rico so I guess you could say I lived there for two years as well.

As it says in the sidebar I have been in the investment business full time since 2000 and have loved almost every minute of it.  A little over a year ago I went out on my own and currently own and operate The Macro Trader, a weekly global macro publication with frequent intra-week updates for time-critical analysis and actionable trade ideas.  In addition to The Macro Trader I am a partner in Attitrade.com a site that provides traders with a lot of useful scans, volatility charts, and other tools for traders as well as several education programs for the beginner all the way to the  advanced trader.  Aside from trading related businesses I am also an investor in a few other web sites.  Over time I will go into each business that I am involved with and how they are doing.

Throughout the day I am on Twitter with the handle @dctag I also have @DavidTaggart and am considering changing over but for now if you want to find me use @dctag. I am usually pretty active but occasionally am absent from Twitteronia so if you don’t see a post one day I am probably not dead but instead too busy.

I am hoping to post fairly regularly to this blog as it reflects on me and therefore I can speak my mind.  I don’t recall ever being accused of not having an opinion on something so now and then expect a full fledged rant.  I will try not to swear very often on the blog as I am trying (not hard enough and with little success) not to swear in my offline life but there will no doubt be the occasional word or twenty.

Anyways that is enough about me for now.

Happy Life,

David Taggart
