Trading stocks is something I love to do. I have been trading stocks since 1995. I first learned of stocks in economics class in high school, then I watched CNBC and their popular show of "Squak Box". The more I watched the more I was intrigued with it and begin imagining making it big in the market. After over a year or so of watching and reading I decided to open up a trading account and started trading.
My first stock I bought was America Online then Apple computer. I thought I stay with the companies I was more familiar with and recognizable brand names. During this time it was the hay day of the market, which we call the bull market and just about every stock I bought turned to gold. Those were the good old days where I would make as much as $10,000 a day profit.
Then the market crash and wiped out all of my profits and some. At this time I regrouped and begin studying charts and asking questions until I understood how to trade in a down, up or side ways market.
My goal is to help the less informative or beginners a safer way to trade. Study, study and research before beginning to trade. Also never invest more than you can afford to lose. Take the safe approach and even discuss it with your love ones before getting in over your head. Have control and patience when investing because it can become very stressful and emotional from time to time.
