I would like to thank all of those involved with short selling for making me find different stocks. That may sound a little unorthodox but for most of us, if we are not forced to look for better opportunities we become complacent.
I have yet to complete my first year of trading and in the beginning there were a lot of obstacles. The first one being fear. I don't ever gamble even though there are casinos close by and sports books being a new option. The fear of what I may lose keeps me from it. It can be said that trading is a huge gamble due to uncertainty and risk. When I first started I was filled with a lack of confidence and resigned myself to accept the fact that we're all just guessing anyway. These thoughts soon faded.
The second thing I had to overcome was finding the right platform to trade on. The world is full of trading platforms and many of the first ones I researched won't supply real time quotes unless you pay for it. Finding Moo Moo was sure a blessing and I had almost given up when I found this platform.
The third thing was learning all of the different jargon associated with trading. It's almost like a modified different type of language within our own.
After time, all of these obstacles were overcome but it did not come without persistence and the help of Moo Moo staff constantly posting news or relevant information. There are still many aspects of trading for me to explore and this platform seems to supply information concerning all of it. For their diligent efforts, I thank the staff.
I would be remiss if I did not mention the wonderful community of traders that use this platform. The information exchanged here can be quite helpful if not comical at times. While we may not always make the best decisions in our trades, at least we can talk about it here and learn from one another. I find this most invaluable and I wish everyone here the best of luck.
Happy holidays everyone and remember; my clown car still needs a new set of tires!

Clownarado OP : Thanksgiving Eve update.
Turns out I'm really not that good at trading and after nearly 9 months I can only post about 25 dollars in realized profit in all that time. I'm going to have to make trading a part time hobby as I will soon be working for YUM Brands starting next week. At least, I will eventually have some extra cash to fund my account beyond a hundred bucks. Just doing this trading thing isn't really getting me anywhere.
Finding a job has been more than difficult for me during the pandemic but I finally got one and very thankfull for the positive turn of events. #Hutlife
treydongui Kittykiki : I like the way you think :) Sounds like a plan. I enjoy participating on friends links very much...
Tomorrows Future Now : well said! nice of you to share
