I just joined the Gulch and have always said that Atlas Shrugged was my fav book of all time. I'm retired as a currency trader and former head of Trendstat Capital Management. I went "Galt" in 2003 after 9/11 increased regulations to the point where I no longer felt the desire to continue managing other peoples' money. I live in Scottsdale in the winter and Payson, AZ in the mountains during the summer. Love what you've put together here!
