Alex Temiz and Bao Nguyen came together to found My Investing Club (MIC) to give traders the direct mentorship and real-time guidance they never had when starting out.
Alex built his reputation through transparency, consistency, and elite execution, earning over $16 million in verified trading profits after humble beginnings working at Starbucks and selling the rims off his car to fund his first account. Bao, a seasoned market veteran with over 20 years of experience, became famous for his legendary $1.4 million single-day profit on FNMA. After Bao took Alex under his wing, their partnership grew into a shared mission: helping everyday traders navigate the markets through structured processes, risk management, and live mentorship.
