Hope you realize I wasn't going for an educated and informed opinion. I'm the furthest thing possible from a stock market specialist, and I still find this thread's question stupid... so why not answer you more bullsh@t? Still, thanks for notes I'm keeping #3 and #4 for sure! I'm planning to make my first stock market investment by the end of the year. We'll see how that goes... Take care!
I'll be super honest here. I like the thrill of seeing my stocks (I'm currently only play trading at the moment) go up in my favor. Even when I'm losing money, I like the glimmer of hope that it'll rise back up. Yeah it's all about making money and all that, but for me, I feel like it's a safer form of gambling, plus I'm an econ major so I can justify that I'm doing "practical training"
Well, I had left a cushy job to pursue my ambition to be a Technical Writer. So I am currently doing whatever work from home jobs in my spare time to support this passion. I find that by playing the stock market, I get some money. I do not dabble excessively for fear of losing my nest egg so I just do it in moderation.
My aim in entering the world of stock market is mainly for my Retirement. I want to retire early and at the same time retire comfortably. I also want to inspire people to SAVE, INVEST EARLY,REGULARLY AND CONSISTENTLY.
