Joshua, how did you get interested in trading?
Early on, I used to go over to my friend’s house and his
dad would have the CNBC ticker on and I recognized two stocks, Iomega and AOL. There were others but these two
really stuck out for me. By the time I was 16, I had developed a major passion for the markets and my father helped start me out by suggesting I read [what was then] Investor’s Daily. He recommended it because his grandmother recommended it to him two weeks before she died. So I read it.
Intrigued, I got William O’Neil’s book, How To Make Money In Stocks. It clicked with me immediately, and off I went.
