...wake of the salacious presidential scandal, an important anniversary was nearly forgotten by much of the press last week: the 25th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion in the United States.

"As I look back, the stock has always gone back up." He's banking on a run to get his portfolio to $1 million in four years. "Age 35 is what I've been thinking," he says matter-of-factly. "That's the only milestone that has crossed my mind." Age 35? A million dollars? Where does such confidence spring from? Lots of places...
