It's pretty hard to stay disciplined and I remember in grade 9 business class we were put in a virtual stock game and I made a 60% return in 3 months just buying 3x natural gas bear/bull LOL. An extremely nooby question, but how does one invest/short in subprime securities? Are there investment corps that specifically deal with it?
What Ulic said about simple strategies is actually really true. My moms been trading for almost 9 years now and shes done pretty well, and she doesnt even know how options worked.... How do some of you experienced traders feel about the stress/anxiety and fufillment compared to when you first started?
