Personal Narrative: My Passion For Trading Stocks On The Stock Market

For example I immediately bought Disney, Apple, and, Amazon before anything else, due to the success I knew each of these companies have had in the past. After running out of companies I knew had stock on the exchange, I started doing research on stocks I might want to purchase. This was especially necessary for mutual funds, which prior to starting the stock market game I had very little to no knowledge about. I found that in the long run, the stocks that I had the most success with were stocks that I had had some previous exposure to. Amazon especially was a great success.

There were many people in my life that got me to who I am today. My family and friends were the main people that influenced who I am. There were many events that influenced me but the most recent one is picking early college.

Starting high school can be a little scary, especially when you have no guidance from siblings, like me, being the first one from my family to have an education. But that did not stop me from succeeding, I?ve always been confident and determined. I?m an enthusiastic when it comes to trying new things. Who would have thought I was going to be a good athlete plus a book geek, when in my past years I was just a regular kid. I was pretty excited about joining a club that had a connection with high school, that way I didn?t have to start from zero, I always want to be a step ahead. Fortunately, in summer, a high school coach was recruiting freshmen for running either cross country or track, they both involve running, so I considered it like the same sport with different timing. And this is when it all started. Running

The stock market has always intrigued me and I have since been eager to learn more about it. Starting back in January of this year, I ordered three textbooks on stock trading to become more informed on the subject. After reading these books, I gained further insight on stock trading which led me to open my own brokerage account where I could buy and sell stocks. I started by playing a stock simulation which was very similar in concept to StockTrak, a program we used in this class. I found that this helped provide me with a hands on experience which helped familiarize me with stock trading and learning how to manage and use my money efficiently. I continued to play this simulation for about two months and during this time my portfolio grew about 4%, which provided me a confidence boost and motivated me to invest in my real money into the stock market. In March of 2015, I officially began trading in the stock market and I continued to learn along the way. As of now, I have roughly nine months of stock trading experience. As stated previously, I have always had in interest in the stock market, but I never acted upon it until as recently as earlier this year. My interest in the stock market was peaked because I enjoy taking risks and the stock market

I’ve been pursuing my education for my entire adult life. As a young and working mother I tried to fit night classes into my hectic schedule but never seemed to be able to string together enough credits to make it seem like it was worth the time. Then some years back, I began working for an employer that had tuition reimbursement so I took advantage of that - only for a minute; unfortunately the following year they took reimbursement out of their benefits plan, and around that same time the school notified me that my old college credits had expired and wouldn’t be used toward my degree. Their ‘Life Credit Portfolio’ was an option, but just barely. I decided that my time had passed and I should focus on saving money for my children’s college, and retirement.

Why do anything at all if you're not going to do it right? The same goes for investing. Take the time to learn all about the process. Learn how to evaluate different stocks, diversify your portfolio and take on the right amount of risk. Put in the effort and you'll see the results.

Throughout high school, I continuously explored a wide variety of courses in an attempt to figure out what career path I may want to pursue. As senior year drew closer, the business field became more enticing. Furthermore, my aspirations were significantly impacted on the evening of September 14, 2016. I woke up that day and left for school as if it were any other day. After school, I drove to the softball field because we had a game and it just so happened to be Senior Night: the last home game. When it came time for my first at bat, I stepped up to the plate and hit a line drive between the first and second basemen, successfully making it to first base. The next player up to bat hit a double; I rounded second and sprinted for third. I clearly remember my coach kneeling on the ground to signal me to slide into third base. For some unknown reason, I hesitated and slid too late. I knew it was a bad slide, but I was focusing on whether or not I was safe. Then reality set in, I was safe, but I was not physically capable of standing up.

In my nonfiction outside reading novel, Unshakeable, Tony Robbins is a wonderful mentor and teacher of your personal investment. As a newcomer into the investment realm, Robbins was able to navigate and help the reader grasp the knowledge of the stockbroker side of the stock market. While learning the basic terminology of a bear vs bull stock, I furthered my comprehension and am considering entering the hectic stock exchange. With Robbins wisdom and experiences he preaches during “a 10-year period, the market almost always rises. Still there are no guarantees” (Robbins 128). This broaden my perspective as I would give up and call it quits not getting my way losing money and not thinking about a rebound. As it fluctuates the “average, the

Just six years ago, I convinced my mother to allow me to move to the city. New York was quite the sight to behold! I absolutely mesmerized when I first got a look at New York in all its glory. The newest Jazz music could be heard from every car that zoomed by and the electric streetlights illuminated streets throughout the night. The women’s attire was so scandalous! I quickly learned that the women who dressed in such a manner were known as ‘flappers’. However, most importantly, Wall Street was booming! I dedicated my days to making a fortune wagering the little fortune I had to start with in the stock market. Before I knew it, I was dedicating my nights to spending my newfound fortune hosting and attending lavish parties. I was proud to

With the vast availability of the internet today, people are able to acquire knowledge considerably quicker than ever before. As I was browsing YouTube at the beginning of the summer in 2016, an ad started playing that took me by surprise. It was a man sitting in a tropical paradise with his laptop saying how he had made millions of dollars traveling around the world trading stocks. He began to explain that all it took was extreme determination and dedication to the vision he had. I was drawn to the video for the reason that I saw many parts of myself in this man. The absurd thing was that he was offering to teach what he had learned so that others would not have to make the same mistakes he had. If I was ever in a similar position to teach someone from my mistakes, I would every time. He is a stock trader who recognized the risks involved, but knew how to minimize them by making a plan. One of the most important lessons he has taught me is, in order to become successful at any task, it takes the will to persevere and an unwavering

Playing the stock market game taught me how to invest through trading with stocks among companies. I believe that it would give me insight in the future when I’m dealing with real-life investments giving me the knowledge of buying, selling, shorting, and covering. Using actual money rather than theoretical money seems quite scary when it’s lost whenever it’s unpredictable where the money will end up. In my opinion, I think that the main purpose of the game is to demonstrate the reality of stocks and how they function. Even though the game was fake, it gave me real worries about the chances that I could have made either losing it or winning it. Although I did not win, it did give the experiences that I need for my daily life. I should instead go with my instincts

Have you ever felt robbed of a childhood? At the age of six, I was placed into the DYFS system. I moved from house to house, not really having the chance to grow up like normal children. I didn’t get to experience things such as ; asking my older sister advice on boys, learning how to cook grandma’s favorite recipe, or going on family vacation to Disney world . I worked hard to get where I am right now. My experiences have made me of who I am today , my story will tell you my background, where I came from and why my application is incomplete without it.

Ultimately my personality has created in me a way of thinking and believing, but the skills I have obtained along the way of growing up are important for me to be able to find what careers would suit the skills I have now or have to learn.

Mentioned the words stock market to anyone in the United States and you are likely to get a vast array of comments, from excitement over making lots of money, to anger of losing lots of money. Everyone seems to have an opinion about the stock market, yet only about 50 percent of Americans are invested in the stock market. A troubling aspect is that few individuals actually understand how the stock market works. These individuals are taking a risk by investing in stocks that they do not truly understand. An individual choosing to invest on their own, without the advice of a financial professional, is like a person self-diagnosing a major illness; the results could be devastating and irreversible. To achieve financial success through investing in the stock market it is imperative that an individual work with a financial professional who will help them properly state their goals and objectives, design a properly allocated portfolio, determine their risk tolerance, and guide them in the ongoing investing process.
