Danny’s Doubles: The First Leap to $50K

I’ve had my fair share of twists and turns trying to hit my first of six doubles in real time.

For those just tuning in, I kicked things off with $25,000 on August 18th, as I detailed here:

A quick reminder (or an intro for the new subscribers): the idea behind Danny’s Doubles is to “simply” double my money with each trade, six times, turning $25k into $1.6M—for fun!

And maybe a little proof of concept.

As of this morning, my account has, after 101 trading days, reached it’s first double; and sits steady at $50k; here’s the snapshot of my P&L:

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

Early on, a few picks went sideways on me, (by that I mean DOWN) and my $25k quickly shrank and by Dec 6th, was down to $13k. (Not ideal, as I didn’t want to rename this to danny’s quadruple’s)

Still, I’ve been playing this game since I was 16, and I’ve learned to keep my emotions in check and stick to my strategies.

You don’t survive this long in the markets without knowing how to weather a few storms.

It’s all part of the process—like climbing a mountain where every setback feels like a slip on loose gravel.

You’ve got to catch your footing, refocus, and keep pushing upward.

Fast forward, we’ve clawed back and doubled the initial $25k to $50k (or in this case, almost quadrupled my $13k to $51k).

The stock that got me there?

None other than .

While I took some losses on earlier positions, we bounced back—and like anything in life, perseverance wins.

Now, I’m officially 1/6th of the way there.

The next move?

Turning $50k into $100k?

I’ve got a few companies on my radar, but I’m not entering any new trades just yet.

 is one I really like, though I think we’re a touch early.

I’d prefer an entry south of $170.

If I can double up again and hit $100k in the next 3-6 months, TTWO could line up perfectly with the GTA 6 launch (making this my 3rd trade), which I believe will revolutionize gaming with its tokenization of everything and microtransactions. Read more here:

 is another one I like here, assuming it holds above $64. With their recently announced and ramped-up share buybacks, I can see this doubling over the next few months.

It’s one of my “forever” companies—a rare gem in a portfolio built for growth and momentum.I’d be willing to bet will be north of $1100/$1200 in 2025 with Zuck’s announcements this AM around censorship and adding fellow jujutsu master Dana White to the board.

For now, I’m reviewing opportunities and waiting for the right moment to strike.

The second double is in my sights, and I’ll be back to report when I’ve decided which company.

Happy Hunting!
