A new Israelian-Spaniard in Wall Street

Hello to everyone, my name is Daniel (24). I am new to this community and I would like to briefly introduce myself, how I got my interest in Wall Street and how I discovered this community.

To begin with , I am originally from Israel but I moved to Spain at a young age. Israel is quite expensive and my parents had some business going in Spain so we decide to move. I have family all over the world and traveling have become part of my life since my first month of life.

In Spain I did my degree in Business Administration and finished in Germany with an exchange program (Erasmus). My goal there was  to improve m German but since I was most of the time surrounded by Spaniards you can guess how much I improved it... Thus I decided to stay one more year and focus 100% on improving my German-no distractions this time. On the side I was looking what to do with my future because business administration is quite general and didn't have any clue about what would be my next step. In my research I ended up discovering that Finance was what most attracted me.

Why stock market? First I discovered Tim Sykes and his penny stock strategy. He is really good in catching your attention but later on I have tried to rationalize and decided that its sound to me too risky and not professional and looked what else i can find there. Then I found some seminar videos of Anton Kreil who is also good at catching your attention but this time it did sounds to meet much more professional and I figured out that working for a hedge fund could be a nice path for me. He has his own academy but its not cheap to be fair for an online course and I ended up finding a finance and investment certificate in UCLA (Los Angeles) which I figured out will be my best option. My father lives in LA, I will be able to improve my English and most important, introduce my self to the Wall Street world in a safe way learning from professionals.

To conclude, I am now doing the finance certificate and I met in my class a very cool guy, Hunter. He is vary passionate about finance and he introduced me to this community. I would like achieve a good position in a hedge fund or similar and hope to get a better idea on how to achieve it through this community. Thanks to everyone who made it till this final line and I am open to meet new people discuss any subject on the matter and I look forward to achieve together our goals.
