"So now I'm 16 now and there is a cute girl down the street who I'm going to buy a $150 bracelet for, that $150 is the money I've made trading."

You're one of those fucking annoying kids who tells everyone everything about their life first day of freshman year.

My drinkin' problem left today, she packed up all her bags and walked away.

NR, BH, HFF, whats with being douchebags? The rest of these guys don't mean shit to me, but you're supposed to be on here helping these people and encouraging them. I know you have to put up with some bullshit from time to time, but this kid put some serious effort into writing this up. He made it clear that he doesn't have anyone else to share it with, so from the bottom of my heart, fuck you guys.

Kid, congrats on getting started. Hopefully someone else will see it and be inspired to give it a go. If I have one piece of advice to you: keep updating this thread (or any publicly visible record of your trades). It may not necessarily help you, but once the gold star guys up there stop being douchebags they might be willing to give you some tips/tricks/ideas for how you can further your trading career.

Also, might be better to move this to the trading forum, may get a more positive response from it.

Did you Read the post? He basically made trades just to show he was "experienced" and now he's 100% speculating.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, in my opinion. He got some experience trading and learned something about it. If he wants to get involved in speculation, that's fine, he'll learn more doing that, too.

The point is: he's DOING something. Doing just about ANYTHING is better than doing nothing, as long as you're learning something. Shit on him for being wrong, shit on him for thinking other people will care, but he at least deserves props for trying. That's more than 95% of college kids and 99% of high school kids do.
