Trading Seminar
The other day, I was listening to the radio and I heard an advert about
a trading seminar that was taking place in Toronto. I was intrigued..
I've always wanted to play the market but I had no idea what Nasdaq,
Dow Jones or NYSE, TSE meant. Well I registered for a 2 hour seminar
and dragged my little sister with me as all my friends had other, more
exciting plans this evening. I don't expect them to understand why I'm
interested.
In any case, I'm really glad I went. I can't wait to start exercising it although I really want to take the full course that includes simulations and such. Only I'll be back at the shithole of all shithole places next year doing my Masters and will not be able to exercise my trading capabilities :( I really think I'm business savvy and am really excited at the prospect of making money off FOREX.. they trade trillions of dollars worldwide IN ONE DAY!
oh.. too long to explain but DON'T INVEST IN MUTUAL FUNDS! If you knew how much the banks were making money off you with that and all you pocket is a measly 6% that is IF you don't take money out ( otherwise they'll slap you with penalties) you'd be FURIOUS!
I think Amish should sign up with me, he's completely business savvy. There are men who hate parting with their money or risking even the slightest amount in fear of losing chump change. That is not Amish. I know we'd get REALLY good at trading and if I had a friend who was into it like I was, I know i'd be more motivated to go to all the simulations and seminars and such.
Anyways, one thing that threw me off guard was... well... one comment he made.
He was talking about observing what was going on in the world to take advantage of opportunities and one thing he said was,
" What about Israel? Israel just bombed Lebanon.. what a time to by options in oil.. "
True. I mean, the price of oil is expected to jump to 1.30 in two weeks but shit! How can I, in all good conscienceness, buy this commodity without selling my soul to the devil. It just seems wrong that I should cash in on devastating circumstances of others. So I made a promise to myself that I would try my best not to exploit misfortunes of others ( although.. that would be what I would be doing whenever I sold my stocks) ... but you know.. NOT SO BLATANTLY!
Oil is out of the question for me. That shit happening in the mideast.. it's fucked up.. fucked up. To put it eloquently.
Afterwards, my little sister, who had complained about me taking her to this seminar was so excited at the prospects she couldn't stop yammering about it in the car. We went to go get some pastry and stuff to treat ourselves after. I think when I start to trade seriously, I'll join forces with my little sister.. she seems just as ambitious if not more so than me.
Trying to explain this to my mom is a headache though... she just knocks my ideas. She's so conservative she believes you have to just work hard. I look at how hard my parents have worked and then think about all their expenses with four children and what have you and I think she could have gotten better for herself with less effort.
In any case.. back to the book stores.. I need more books on trading to fill my curious brain this summer.
ta ta!
