About Irk:
My name is Eric “Irk” Jacobson, and I started investing in the stock market in 1998. I’ve learned a lot over that time including what works and what doesn’t. My disciplined long-term investing techniques allow me to outperform my benchmark index, the S&P 500 (SPX), in both bull and bear markets.
My decades of experience have made me into a market historian, able to identify many market trends and pivotal market catalysts which could create potential tops and bottoms.
I started Get Irked in August 2018 for FREE as a way of giving back by teaching others how to invest for the long term. My mission is to help everyone from all walks of life have the opportunity to generate wealth through disciplined investing.
