FROM CONCLUSION Although this book is about how I used LEAPS to retire early, indulge me about the importance of having a winner's mindset. Having the right attitude is not only critical for investing in stocks and trading options, but also in life. Tennis great Bjorn Borg said, "You have to find it. No one else can find it for you." Never forget, a successful person plays to win while others play not to lose. A successful person works hard to be in a position to be lucky when opportunity knocks and has the resolve and courage to act when an opportunity presents itself. A successful person puts money to work while others spend money. Winners always show up at the starting line, and they never give up before a race has started. They will not win all of the time, but they will also never truly lose. NBA Hall of Fame basketball legend Michael Jordan said, "You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them." Winners make life happen. Life doesn't happen to them. So, don't let life pass you by. Go live the life you have imagined for yourself, and make it matter. In his book "INTRINSIC: Using LEAPS to Retire Early," Mike Yuen shares his insights and proven strategies to help readers achieve financial independence through smart investing. His book has also been discussed on Reddit (r/options r/wallstreetbets). Mike has been an investor (and occasional trader) for over 35 years, focusing primarily on technology companies in public markets (e.g., Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG), Meta (META), Netflix (NFLX), Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), Palantir (PLTR), Robinhood (HOOD), and Oklo (OKLO)) and private pre-IPO markets (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, and SpaceX). He has also invested in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Dogecoin (DOGE), as well as collectible trading cards, including sports, Pokemon, and One Piece. In addition to holding stocks, Mike has successfully used long-term options (LEAPS) as a stock replacement strategy to boost his portfolio returns, enabling him to retire early in January 2017 to focus on his family and raising his young son. He draws inspiration from two quotes -- Michael Jordan's "I never lost a game. I just ran out of time." and Steve Jobs' "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life." Mike previously worked in the wireless, consumer electronics, video game, and semiconductor industries at companies like Qualcomm (QCOM), Zeebo (a startup focused on wireless video game consoles for emerging markets), GTE Interactive Media (video games), Accolade (video games), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Inspired to program by the 1982 film "Tron", he later developed a passion for the stock market after watching "Wall Street" (1987). He holds a BA in Computer Science from John Muir College at UC San Diego and an MBA from the Graduate School of Management a
