Years Trading: 8
What I Trade: Stocks
I have been interested in the stock market for as long as I can remember. I began trading at the age of 16 (24 years old now). Being from British Columbia I was close to the notorious Vancouver Stock Exchange, the mecca of micro-cap resource exploration stocks. As a newbie trader I made and lost huge amounts (in percentage terms) as these stocks are some of the most volatile in the world. Some picks would go up 200% in a month, others would lose 50% in a day. From this I decided that Buy and Hold was not for me.
Once I make enough money from "lawyering" I hope to start a hedge fund as trading is my true passion.
