3 Key Steps to Building Your Wealth...

"LET THEM EAT Pi!"
That's the thought that ran through my head when our brilliant tech guru Richard Interlandi reminded me that today, March 14th, is not just an ordinary day - it's "National Pi Day".
(For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, feel comforted by the fact that you're in good company. It wasn't until Richard reminded me that I remembered Pi is the symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Pi = 3.145926535, and March 14th, or 3/14, is apparently celebrated by math enthusiasts around the world.)
But whether you take off from work today to play with your abacus or not, join me in a show of solidarity to celebrate those Trekkie-like folks among us who do!
(I wish I would have known just how hip it was to be square when I was younger. These people really did end up running the world, didn't they? Being a counter-culture rebel made high school a blast for me, but it's these people who are cool for life!)
Anyway, I know today isn't my day to write, but I did want to take a moment and introduce our newest staff writer Ethan Roberts!
If that name sounds familiar, it's because he's been a long-time Tycoon Report reader and community contributor. Not only have his articles been well-reasoned and insightful, but they've also been among the most popular we've had the pleasure to publish.
Whenever we find a great writer who has something to say, we jump all over it as quickly as possible. In Ethan's case, the decision was made easier by the fact that he's a personal-finance guru and if there's one area we could all use some insight with, it's personal finance.
So a big shout-out to Ethan! Let's give him a Tycoon Report welcome! (Ok, perhaps I am taking it a bit far on the cheese-meter today, but it is Pi Day!)
His article below, titled "3 Key Steps to Building Your Wealth", is a must-read for any of us who want to know three of the most important secrets to becoming wealthy.
I've also featured Tycoon Report reader Patti, whose short article, "Don't trade options on vacation", speaks to me personally. It's short and sweet, but ultimately very valuable advice. Had I read this when I was 22 years old, I would have saved myself LITERALLY $45,000 on an options trade when I was on vacation in Wyoming and out of touch with the world. After reading Patti's tale of woe I just had to share it!
Have a great weekend folks.
