Let's Talk

Hi, I’m Mitch!

I’m the person behind the spintwig website.

In 2015, I started researching financial independence and early retirement (or FIRE). Seeing how practical, simple actions resulted in actual dollars saved at the end of the month hooked me. I kept learning, implementing, and was able to retire from a career in IT and business consulting at 30.

As time went on, I began to look for ways to best manage my investment returns and stumbled upon options trading. But I was frustrated with how difficult it was to find centralized, trustworthy, high-quality research on options trading strategies online. So, I started doing my own backtesting research and publishing it here on spintwig.

Now I spend my time living life, which includes a healthy amount of riding my bike. And when I’m not doing that, I enjoy helping others accelerate their financial journey.

If you’re looking to accelerate your financial goals and feel it would be helpful to speak with someone who has already “been there done that”…

Incisive and Pragmatic Solutions

⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️
 
I am a regular client of Spintwig.com and wanted to express my thanks and appreciation.  Mitch and I have worked together for almost a year now in developing a suitable strategy for our family’s IRA account.  Mitch took great care to procure the right data, address technical issues and make suggestions on how to improve the strategy. 
 
He has a unique ability to suggest incisive and pragmatic solutions to difficult trading problems.  This year has been extremely challenging for many reasons and having a professional like Mitch on our side has been invaluable.  We feel confident in going forward with our investment strategies knowing that they have been tested thoroughly.  While past performance is no guarantee of future performance, we certainly feel that with Mitch’s aid, we’ve done thorough due diligence.  Our odds of investing success are now much higher. 
 
If you’re considering Mitch for backtesting or advisory services, don’t hesitate!  He’s an exceptional value in addition to being a thoughtful, pleasant and generous addition to the options trading community.

Worth Every Penny

⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️

I appreciate the hard work Mitch at spintwig.com did backtesting a complex trading strategy for me. His research was worth every penny!

His backtesting not only confirmed some trading pattern suspicions that I had, but he also uncovered a lucrative pattern I had not even considered. I highly recommend his backtesting service without reservation!

I Learn Something Every Time

⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️

Just because you think you know it, doesn’t make it any less impactful when someone proves it. I love reading spintwig’s posts, even if it confirms what I already knew. Sometimes it doesn’t.

Information is valuable. Data-backed information is especially so. I 100% appreciate these posts. I learn something every time, even if it is to make me more confident in a certain direction.

Home Ownership a Possibility

⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️

Over the course of six years, Mitch’s advise has helped me pay off all credit card debt, make a smarter purchase on a car and pay it off, and optimally pay off student loan debt.

Before Mitch, I didn’t realize owning my own home was a possibility.  Our talks have helped me purchase a home and pay off 35% of the mortgage over three years.

In meeting Mitch, my point of view on spending and saving money has changed drastically.

Investing isn't Gambling

⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️

Banks pay nothing in interest these days. Not like the old days when I could have earned 8%.

I’ve always heard you can make money by investing and that’s how people plan for retirement but the concept always seemed like gambling.

You taught me the difference between Wall Street headlines and a prudent strategy and built my confidence to begin investing and stop letting inflation eat my savings account.
