My beginner's luck with my first trading of US stocks on moomoo started with the free $Apple (AAPL.US)$ share that I have received from joining the innovative and interactive trading platform. As Roman philosopher Seneca once put it "Luck is a matter of preparation opportunity meeting." I must say my luck was activated when I chanced upon the advertisement of $Futu Holdings Ltd (FUTU.US)$ moomoo on the MRT station, which got me curious to try to find out more about this online investment brokerage as I was enticed by the cute sounding name that reminds me of a nursery rhyme and the striking cow mascot that resonates well with a bullish market. The very catchy name and auspicious looking mascot certainly got me intrigued to seek more about moomoo. I eventually decided to open the moomoo account with an initial deposit after having succumbed to the temptation of the free $Apple (AAPL.US)$ share, which was not necessary a bad thing after all. This started my investing journey of US stocks on the moomoo platform. Luck does play a role in investing that is often misunderstood and unappreciated by many. Even the success story of the legendary investor, Warren Buffett hints that other than skill, foresight and discipline, luck has been an instrumental factor in building his long term wealth. The free $Apple (AAPL.US)$ share from moomoo not only led me to learn more about the world's most valuable company and how it is the largest holding of Warren Buffett's portfolio, but more importantly to discover about the value investing model favoured by Buffett himself. Inspired by his success story and wisdom, I began to use the Dollar Cost Averaging strategy to buy more of $Apple (AAPL.US)$ shares which has since become my largest stock holding and subsequently added other fundamentally strong counters $Alibaba (BABA.US)$, $Bank of America (BAC.US)$, $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$, $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ to build up a long term stock portfolio for myself, with the investment goal of achieving long term gains. While investing certainly requires lots of skill and patience, luck can often be a triump card. Joining moomoo to start trading on US stocks may be the one lucky event that gets me embarked on my investment journey on a new trading platform. It makes me realise that luck plays an important role in investing and in life. Indeed, life is full of luck, even when we just cannot see it. In investing, there is no one single approach that will always render a successful outcome. Other than lots of skill, discipline and patience, I must add that lots of luck will also be needed for successful investing. While pop singer, Kylie Minogue has years ago sung about how she should be so lucky in love, I am still secretly hoping how I should be so lucky in investing!

My trading journey started at the age of twenty one. On my 21st birthday, my parents have gifted me an exquisite golden key and a saving bank account book under my name. There was a $100/ deposit in the account. Along with those gifts, mum said "Happy Birthday Darling, this key would empower you to make your own decisions and decide wisely". Initially, I could not translate my mum's ulterior motive for taking the trouble of giving me cash via the bank. Why couldn't she have just given me a hundred dollars in a red packet which were her norms during my past birthdays?
It has taken me a month before I could truly understand her thoughful intention. It happened on my first pay day when I handed her my paltry pay packet. Mum had retrievd a token sum for household expenses. Subsequently, she had returned me the balance of my pay check and advised me to save it in the bank, to be used as a humble capital for trading.
I was touched because that was her virtuous desire for me to be independent, and to make effective decisions, not only for the trading field but throughout my life for a better Future.
Trading is a volatile game. Since then, I had my fair shares of happiness and tensions.I was delighted when the stocks were bullish and I was frustrated when the shares' prices drifted downwards. Mum became my preseptor. She told me the importance of broadening my horizons by reading and researching on market news. Based on her patient advice, I explored more into this fascinating world of trading and how sound Buffett's principles were. She taught me the importance of adopting a trading strategy and how to harness it for future applications. At that time, there was no interactive trading platform like Moomoo to lean on. Gradually, she taught me how to look out for quality shares such as $A $Apple (AAPL.US)$ $S&W Seed (SANW.US)$ for long term investment. Most important of all I learnt the valuable lesson of being cool minded and well disciplined in my investment journey. She had also taught me to lose with grace, because nobody can be a winner throughout his life. The important learning lesson, is that I should not commit a similiar mistake again.
This technique of making important decisions during trading has not only helped me at work, but has guided me in a successful marriage too.😀💘👍
My beloved mum has passed on, but her Legacy remains. THANKS MUM, for the Great Gift of a Lifetime and I am humbly inspired🥰😍.

The world of trading is something that fascinates me since an early age as it provides me with an opportunity to take control of my future. There is something empowering about being able to direct where my money should go based on my own independent decisions. Rather than simply spending money or worse, not knowing where my money is going, by trading, I am giving my money a "job" to do - to make my money work for me. Just as I work hard for my money, my money should likewise work hard for me. Many have the perception that trading would naturally build and create wealth over time. But not quite, trading is not always about gaining wealth. Instead, trading provides me with a rare opportunity to build a financial safety net for myself. At some point in my life, I am aware that I would have to stop working. When that day eventually arrives, it will be comforting to know that I have created a way to support myself without relying on any pay from an employer whom I am at the mercy of for a livelihood. Or better yet, what if I could choose to stop working when I want to and not when I need to. Trading can help me create such invaluable financial freedom that allows me to have more say in my own future. Having a strong family support is also helpful, which further motivates me to embark on an exciting trading journey. Since young, I have been encouraged by my parents to be independent and to take charge of the different decisions I have made, right from the choice of schools to the subject combination I would choose. And very importantly, to be able to face up to the consequences of my decisions and accept whatever mistakes from the decisions I have made. This is certainly very helpful for trading as I have to deal with the outcome of my trading decisions - be it profits or losses no matter how big or small. There is an English proverb that is very applicable to trading - " you reap what you sow" - I sow so that I can reap the benefits in the future.

Beginner's luck is a commonly seen phenomenon in many chance events. Many people make money during their first days, weeks, or even months in trading.
Let's first find out what people say about beginner's luck.
Yes, fingers crossed. Luck plays a role in trading, especially for beginners.
Some believe that beginner's luck is real because it is founded on information. He buys (hardly any newbie ever short sells) the stock that someone tells him. He buys it when he is told to buy it and he holds it for a while and sees some profits and sells it. Now he thinks that’s all there is to it. Therefore, beginners are more cautious and less greedy, which might be the reason to explain "luck".
What's more, the stock market is, as most would agree, unpredictable. Timing the market is as hard as looking for a needle in a haystack.
No way! Trading has nothing to do with luck.
Every trading market experiences certain periods of upswings (bull) and downswings (bear). What happened to a beginner is that the new trader entered the market during a bull run. Once the bull market ends, that is when a trader’s real test of skill begins.

Now let's go back to the topic "Why did you start trading?"
![]()
Why? Money is the answer!
No surprise at all! According to the poll, about 64% of the votes went to "My dream of achieving financial freedom". To be financially independent, to have a secondary source of income, to have passive income, to beat inflation, to save retirement funds... these are undoubtedly the top reasons why we started trading.
![]()
Any other reasons?
Sure! The reason is quite simple, but it's a big step forward for the investors. Many talked about how they embarked on their journey to trade during the pandemic, as they were stuck at home and got bored. Of course, there are a few inspiring reasons for mooers to start the exciting journey, examples are as below.
Some recalled how old-fashioned it was to call a broker to place an order. What terrible nostalgia! Farewell to high commission cost or having to buy in huge lots. We are witnessing how technology changes our life.
Stories are on and on. Click here for more stories.

capper_ : You are a lucky person. You seize the opportunity when it comes
jasonleett : Luck plays a small role, ultimately the trader must apply himself religiously with dedication, discipline and passion... Otherwise any gains will be shortlived...
Your success is attributed not to luck, but to your devotion to learning and honing the art of trading
101767718 : I agree, luck is so important in investing too.
blueberrymuffin : Luck and guts actually
102089245 : Nice sharing. Me too. I also joined moomoo for the free Apple share. It got me started with trading too!
