Traded several years ago.Had ipo's most sky rocketed.Dont do buying on margin unless you are very experienced and hit a lucky streak.If you borrow against you have to pay back what you borrowed.Stocks are up and down don't panic.Unless There is alot of selling.Keep watch list ,price you want to buy.Some are so expensive.Only buy a few shares too see what happens.What sectors are moving.Think it over use caution!This is my mindset.Helps me set goals.
