So I got to thinking there are not enough goddamn threads about the stock market, wall street, etc etc. on poly. I know DanS posts economic data from time to time but I believe thats mostly out of his bright eyed optimism and political leanings. I want to talk about equities, bonds, interest rates, your picks, your portfolio, your feelings on where the market is going.
My situation as it stands. I recently became ****ing frenzied like a rabbit on crack cocaine about investing and trading. I think it started with reading "Liar's Poker" by Michael Lewis after reading "The Blind Side" also by him. I changed the way I looked at the market from this obtuse monolithic game I would never be able to participate in, 401(k) or otherwise. But I made it my sole objective to save up enough money to invest in 5 stocks, 500 dollars worth each, and see where it takes me. Im still short 1.5k
This led me to reading 2 books by Jim Cramer; "Real Money" and "Confessions of a Wall Street Addict". It was interesting to see his strategies, and his personal life as it was affected by his career choice. I don't think I can ever be as loudmouthed as him but his enthusiasm is alluring and I am all about enthusiasm.
Anyway, here I am wanting to get poly involved in this desire to learn more. If theres anything that Ive learned in life, it's this; I love learning. So let it all out. Everyone and Anyone!
