Did any of you see that?

I personally think it's awesome. It reminds me of myself at that age. I started around 13 and I would drag all my friends to play stocks with me. We had competitions at virtualstockexchange.com and I would do nothing but look at stocks so I could beat them. Sophomore year came around and we had a stock market competition in our economics class. My friend Jim and I were sure to win, so we loaded up the entire portfolio on TASR and sold a week before it's collapse We obviously won, and that record hasn't been touched since. My senior year in high school I would just ditch school because the market was much more interesting to me.

I hope this kid sticks with it. By the time he's 20 he will most likely have gone through a lot of the same mistakes we all do and he will grow up to be one of the greats. When I'm older, I hope to find kids like this when I'm older so I can give them some money when they turn 18 and teach them along the way. That will be my way of giving back.

Wow, amazing story. I didn't get interested in the stock market until I got to my freshman year in college and I thought it was early. Great to hear alot of passion so young. Great article, James.

I would encourage my son to trade forex but not that early.
