Hi Malcik,
First of all thanks for your support and great post(as usual) i did have a similar start to yours 9 years ago i started with the sstocks also it was after my first course and i was anxious to open my first account and thought that with the couple of strategies the guy gave us in the course i'm gonna be a millionair in just a couple of months so in my first trade which was lucent stock as i remember i bought it 6$ before market opens with all the money i had with a market order..few minutes later the market opens and the stock is 5$ and i lost 20% of my capital, so my first mistake was that i bought with all i had and the second was that i placed a market order and that was like telling the predators out there your breakfast is here
thank God the only thing that i made by the rules was that the this money i started trading with was the money i can afford to lose..so i held it and start self educating myself and the more i learn the more i fell that i've payed money for peanuts information that i've new through one week search, but i didn't regret it and i still felt grateful to the guy caz you know what he opened a great door for me just by leting me know there is another world out there and its up to me to walk through it or stand outside and take a look from just a look from the outside..so what i mean is never regret any of your learning steps how hard it is its all a part of your learning cycle..and as i tell the people that come to me..i'm only a language teacher , some of you will get out of here barely reading and the others will be fluently reading and writing novels and he might one day win a nobel prize though i teached you the same things still its up to you how to use it..a knife could cut a piece of bread or kill a human being..which one would you chose to be this is the question.
and here is the deal from now on you're a partner in this thread as long as the goal is noble, so feel free to answer here or in any other forum. and if you have any ideas fell free also to post them.
