I lived a sheltered life until 2 1/2 years ago. Until April 99, I had never even THOUGHT about the market. What's a "call" (option) I said. I look back and laugh. I have learned a LOT in this time frame, and when I really got started, I made a ton of money. I am a textbook case of making TONS AND TONS of dough, then losing almost all of it. I am more conservative now, and am very wary of this market, but I wish I had started sooner. I think EVERYONE should start trading at 18 years old at least. I have lost so much of my moneymaking potential by starting out late that's it's not even funny. I could have been a millionaire now. (At least you're a half-millionaire!). My main problem is lack of funds at the current time. I have some money, yes of course, but not as much as I would like. I used to make $3000-$5000 a day, and I pine for the old days. Anyway, I'm rambling now, but lets just say that the stock market is a lot of fun. :) |
