The short of it....
I hated high school...I was good at dancing (Yeah, I just said that!) and going out with girls. My high school sweetheart was the valedictorian who ended up at Harvard. I graduated a semester late from high school.... After about a year of reality slapping me across the face, I joined the Marine Corps. It was the best (and worst) experience of my life. On one hand, it woke me up to the importance of education, and many other realities that most seem oblivious to...On the other, I was shot in Iraq in 2007,
I invested in 2007 and 2008.... I doubled my money. I haven't played with investments since mid 2009. I'm coming into a relatively-large sum of money in the next couple of months, $25k with another $8k on the way. I don't need this money to live, so I want play the market. I used to work at a large bank, so I am well aware that every traditional savings option will give me shit interest.
Everything is so volatile right now.....I want to take advantage of it. I refuse to invest in an actively managed account with my current bank, or any other.....In reality, they get paid for shit returns. Why would I want to pay management fees for someone who will probably fail to beat the market in the long run?!
I want to be in control of it all!
Other important facts..... I don't need to work right now to live. This will be the case for at least 6 more months. And, NO, I am NOT some TrustFund kid. My family struggled my entire life.
I'm going to be looking for small returns every week.....closing out all my positions weekly.....
Thoughts? (No need to be gentle....I'm going to pursue this no matter what the commentary is.)
-Cheers
Quite a story, good luck man.
