I started trading cuz I wanted to break the. poor cycle of our family...our family comes from a small town in Mexico . there was no runing water or power.  if you wanted to take a bath you had to go to the river and take a bath ..our house was made of mud an palm leafs...eventually my parents left with all of us to come to the usa ..once here we ran into a lot  of racism ...but we could only afford to live in the worst parts of Los Angeles witch was south central l.a. after being broken into the cars the house ..I needed a way out an it seem the way out would have to be through gangs...I really thought about joining a gang but I was to scared ... so a chance came a long for me to work at a wear house..I met a guy there that would tell me about stocks...but I couldn't afford a stock broker ...years went by anbi notice this app moo moo that I could trade hear with out a stock broker...so I did an ibhave made alot of mistakes in stocks since but I'm learning as I go along .  thus us the only way I see to get out of this poor cycle our family been stuck on .  in the words of Curtis Jackson (get rich or die trying)
