I'm Glen Bradford. I made my first million by 24, got defrauded out of it in Chinese stock frauds, looked in the mirror, and said “Glen, buddy... you're not as smart as you think you are.” Hit a home run in Yellow Media, then decided to fight fraud --- went all in on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I've lost a million dollars quite a few times since. But I'm still winning, if you know what I'm talking about.
Purdue IE + MBA. 300+ articles on SeekingAlpha. 10+ years as a Salesforce dev. Now building Delivery Hub. Take it or leave it.
The Short Version
People ask me, “What do you do?” The honest answer is I very rarely do the same thing twice.
I started investing at age 12 with a UGMA account. My grandfather's first stock pick went bankrupt. My mom's pick went bankrupt. Lesson learned --- think for yourself. Now I pretty much do everything myself.
Went to Purdue. BS in Industrial Engineering, MBA. Bet my entire college tuition on the stock market --- made the front page of the South Bend Tribune for it. Jim Cramer emailed me personally and said “Man, this is good.” I was the Motley Fool's Hottest Player. Made my first million by 24.
Then I got defrauded. Chinese stock frauds --- CCME was the big one. I looked at myself in the mirror and murmured, “Glen, buddy... you're not as smart as you think you are.” Liquidated everything. Moved home. Hit a home run in Yellow Media. Then remembered how I'd been defrauded and decided to fight fraud --- went all in on Fannie and Freddie. I've lost a million dollars quite a few times since. But I'm still winning, if you know what I'm talking about.
People started giving me money to manage, so I founded ARM Holdings LLC to do it legally. Around 2014 I started buying Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac common shares. Around 2016 I sold all the common and converted my entire position into junior preferred --- FNMAS, FMCKJ, the whole basket. Still holding. Wrote 9 books documenting the largest fraud in American capital markets history. 50-100k views/week on Twitter covering Fanniegate. I don't respect people that recommend things they themselves do not own --- my entire net worth is riding on this.
On the tech side --- 10+ years as a Salesforce developer. Doubled down 2021-2024, working harder than ever to buy more Fannie/Freddie preferred. I run a corporation through Cloud Nimbus LLC, 100% remote only. Now I'm building Delivery Hub --- Claude Code did 6 months of work in 2 days and I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor.
Through all of it --- the wins, the frauds, the comebacks --- I'm proud of my parents for raising me the way they did. They gave me the type of foundation where you get knocked down and you get back up. No excuses. No shortcuts. Just work.
I run my life like a business. My vision: To Empower Success. My mission: To effectively allocate capital --- mental, physical, financial, emotional.
“Armed with knowledge, I usually find myself waiting patiently for opportunities that go unnoticed by most to come to my attention. I eagerly wait, Sun Tzu style.”
Talk - Action = Zero.
Books
I wrote a book about lifestyle design in 2012 after losing a million dollars. Then I wrote 8 more documenting the largest fraud in American capital markets history --- one a year, every year, for 8 years straight. My entire net worth is riding on this. All available on Amazon.
Act As If
Question Everything, Set Life Goals, Achieve.
I wrote this in 2012 after my hedge fund imploded and I lost a million dollars. It's about lifestyle design, running your life like a business, and the framework I used to make it all back --- 3,387% return. Part autobiography, part manifesto, part challenge. I called it a New York Times Bestseller on page one. THIS IS BECAUSE I CAN.
