I started trading in equities years ago, as i learnt from my dad the power of buying strong quality stocks and holding it for years - hoping for capital appreciation as well as dvidends! its a way for me to ensure that my money is ‘working’ for me and hopefully giving me better returns than just putting it in a bank. Recently I picked up options trading which provides more scenarios for me to make some profit whether a stock drops, stays flat or going up. i am still learning and hoping to master trading eventually to make consistent profits!
