In late 2016 I had started doing some trades in hopes of finding some fast money. I quickly learned that this isn't a a quick and easy way to pocket some extra cash. I stayed away for almost a year. I have other income and in a week I'll be on a more flexible schedule that will allow me to participate in the market a little better. This time around, I'm hitting the grind and studying. I bought Trading Tickers and am only just past the first disc but already I'm approaching the market open with more preparation. Not only am I more thoughtful but I'm embracing the risk and my rules- no more chasing and hoping. No more blindly rolling the dice. In 2018, I'm going to invest in my education. I have a DVD watch list and a few books on my reading list. I'm keeping a trade journal the old fashioned way; paper and pen. I'm developing good habits and studying every chance I get. I already have a genuine interest and I'm going to feed it with PennyStocking Silver (Got it a couple weeks ago).

If you want different, DO different. This year I'm doing it different, I'm getting serious about my education and these trades.
