The Scoop (2020-Present)

         ​

At the onset of COVID, the position I held was in FX.

​

Part-time work at restaurants until a previous injury led me to work full time in foreign exchange. Doubling the balance and 'drawing down'. To people unfamiliar; it's when a trader replenishes the cash balance. Good for groceries.

​

I turned down at the time what was a 'vulture' mentality towards AUDUSD, and focused on recovery in pandemic. From 5G, to Moderna, using social media and rumor mills were the least I could do for retail investors on the brink and for whom I lamented might feel hard done by in an 'act of god', not being insurable in context.I had previously done similarly in 2008 facing the financial crisis in which my comparatively, at the time, young parents almost went head to toe (broke).(Side note; almost died, *seriously* two weeks without sleep makes you see things) 

​​

The functioning of both took me by surprise, and I am pleased to say what was by origin a 'management consultancy' had a few moments of relief and reputation.

Feel free to look around,
