      I invest with Sir Zachery Micah Demers. I've been tracking the performance of my portfolio, which has made a staggering $473k in just the last two quarters, and I've discovered why experienced traders make such large returns in a seemingly unknown market. It has to be the most daring decision I've made in a long time.

More importantly tho he stayed true to his character and the words he spoke in his debut album. From never dumbing down and staying lyrically ahead of the rest, still at 51 to his REFORM alliance and his bid to challenge drug laws, this man is ONE of a kind. One of one, period.
