I'm going to revive this thread because I would like to see more people post in it!
!1. Why did you decide to become a trader?
I'm not even sure where I got the idea. Naturally I heard about stocks and had a pretty good idea how the whole thing worked, and I figured, there has to be a way to make a living off this with enough dough... well, sure enough, there is! I think what lured me is the freedom. I really don't see myself working for other people for the rest of my life... not much money in that either unless you are a doctor or some other fancy title that I don't really care to pursue anyway.
2. What steps or hurdles did you overcome to become a trader?
The hardest part was being patient enough to build the bankroll, lot of years waiting for this day... I had to adopt the "Warren Buffet way" until I had enough
. I still believe in his approach in the long run, day trading is mostly something I want to do on the side, but what will make me rich is definitely the well placed investments, in my opinion anyway...
3. Do you see yourself trading in the next 10 years?
Absolutely. Until death most likely. I think the only way I will ever stop trading is if I become a billionaire, at that point it wouldn't be worth it any longer... but I don't think I have to worry about that one anytime soon.
