Meet the posters / Introduce yourself

22 year old Swede who moved to the USA 2 years ago for studies in Economics.
I am majoring in Accounting and the goal is the CPA title and my own firm.

Have been investing in the Swedish stock market since age 17.

I am a long time dividends investor but from time to time I like looking into penny stocks to see if they might be a future winner.

As for now my portfolio consists of 6 Swedish dividends stock and one penny stock.

 

I'm 31, FSU grad, business owner.

My first trade was this summer, going all in with my IRA on Netflix @55 a share. I recently sold, and now I'm looking to make some more aggressive picks.

 

Hello everyone,

Hi, My name is Daniel and i am 20 years old, i study in university, 2nd year in Economy, I am new to trading but i interested on it since 14 years old. Last year i started to trade with binary options, and first i was growing some capital but after 2 month lost it all... so i started to read about stock investing, since it isnt that risky, i am new to this and hoping to pay for my studies.

 

Hello, All. I've been a member for a while but just really getting started. I played a few pennies some years ago and came in on just the wrong side of the famous AppleRush(RSHN) that some folks made a killing on.

Re: Charlie McKelvey, Bethlehem PA

My name is Nick, I'm 28 and recently married. I graduated college 5 years ago with a degree in geology and have been doing the geologist bit since then but I'm thinking of going back for an MBA or something similar to get into business/finance.

I couldn't have picked a much better time to start investing, as I did so in January of 2009. I did well for the first 12-18 months (who didn't!), got overconfident, and starting taking more risk. Terrible idea. I lost quite a bit chasing penny stocks and chinese stocks. For the past year I've been recuperating, reading more books and slowing down with a more conservative approach. I started a Roth IRA last year and took some pointers from the Motley Fool book "Million Dollar Portfolio" and invested 1/4 in the S&P500, 1/4 in a real estate ETF, and 1/4 in a foreign markets ETF. The book suggests contributing the other 1/4 to commodities but I haven't done that yet because I believed commodities to be overvalued last year when I started investing the fund. Instead I invested the other 1/4 in CRR, which I recently sold for a tidy profit. However, I think now I am going to be diving into some ETFs with that last 1/4 with short term trades that span a multitude of disciplines, from individual sectors in the US to individual countries to individual commodities, based on overbought/oversold indicators.

I also have a regular brokerage account which I somewhat more actively trade individual stocks.

I'm here to learn from and bounce trading ideas off of all of you!

Re: Charlie McKelvey, Bethlehem PA

Hello forum,

I'm Josh. 20 something from Pittsburgh. Work as a financial advisor and manage some client portfolios, so I guess you can say I'm a money manager to some degree. I have a Series 7, Series 65, Series 63, and life insurance licenses. I got about a decade of trading experience which I've used to develop my own trading models.

I hope I can add to the forum; however, I can (within reason).

 

Hello!

Just thought I'd make my first post an introduction post... sorry mods, I didn't see an "introduce yourself" thread anywhere.


Anyways, I go by Makin Picks and I'm primarily a penny stock momentum trader though I'm trying to expand and learn different styles, techniques, and strategies.

I hope to contribute and learn from these boards!


Thanks!

Hello everybody!
I am Baf, a 24 years old IT student from New Hampshire, originally from Italy. I have been following this forum for some weeks, and now that the school is done, I can focus on another one of my passions which I share with many of you, finance.
I have been studying finance for some months right now, hoping to gain the knowledge to limit the losses and score some points. I am planning of swing trading with a little amount of money and get some experience, since where I am strong on theoretical knowledge, I lack on experience on the field.
Good trades to everyone,

Baf
