Jim Roppel is a hedge fund manager with 40+ years of market experience, managing $200M+ in assets. A direct student of Bill O'Neill, Jim learned CAN SLIM at the source — FedExing marked-up charts back and forth with Bill and sitting front row at his seminars over 20 times.

Jim blew up his account three times before discovering IBD. He used to drive to a paper depot at midnight to be first to read the next day's paper. Once he committed to CAN SLIM, he tripled his mid-six-figure Morgan Stanley signing bonus into the 2000 top and never looked back.

In this in-person interview, Jim covers his complete methodology — the 20/20 and 40/40 WANDA screens, his 3-5-7% stop system, how he hedges monster positions with in-the-money calls — plus real trade breakdowns in Broadcom ($1M first trade), Baidu ($30M total), AppLovin (80 to 410), Arista Networks, Bloom Energy, and more.

🔥 What You'll Learn:

✅ The 3-5-7% stop loss system and "zero defect" breakout discipline

✅ Position sizing rules — 18% max, never above 22%

✅ How to hedge winners using in-the-money call sales

✅ The "four trades a year" framework for elite selectivity

✅ Bill O'Neill's probing entry method and the "What Would Bill Do?" filter

✅ Why AI is "the steam engine and electricity at the exact same time"

✅ Advice for traders starting with $50-100K today
