Before late November of 2016 i had close to no financial literacy, let alone a single clue about the stock market. I was bored one day sitting in my college dorm when scrolling through my YouTube feed looking for something to entertain me, i stumbled upon this: https://youtu.be/zQSvcPcmHyM , its a link to a video titled "How i made $1,000+ today dip Buying Panic" i had no idea what Dip buying was, or how this video even crossed paths with me, but being the money hungry kid that i am, I immediately opened the video with 100% attention, i had no idea that i was looking at, but i could hear tim's voice explaining his position and where he bought and sold, along with why he did so. By just hearing those numbers and doing the math in my head, i didnt need to understand a thing about the markets to realize that making a 20%+ return in less than a day was amazing and extremely possible with penny stocks, i saw there was potential. as soon as the video ended i was hooked and needed more information. I needed to get in on this, i started binge watching video after video after video (there are hundreds of them on tims YouTube channel) each time i watched, i felt like i was understanding more And more. But that wasn't enough, I have now gone through pennystocking 101, and trader checklist 3 full times.(Currently on my fourth,each time I watch, it becomes more clear) i also bought a subscription to penny stocking silver, Which is tims newsletter, i mostly bought it for the 4000+ video lesson library that comes with, rather than the alerts and chatroom that also come in the package. After learning what a candle stick chart was, and how to read it, things became a lot easier to follow and what he was saying. After weeks of learning everything i could from him, i started seeing videos about how Tim Sykes is a scam, i obviously Began to get nervous as i read more and more articles, but everything i saw had not any actual facts showing that he was a scam, most of the people writing the bad reviews were simply not taking the time to learn what he is teaching in the first place. I have also been watching as much videos as a can from Cameron Fous on YouTube, and Arick russel, i seem to retain the most info when learning from one of those three, so shout out to them if i make it big! Since that first video 3 months ago, i have dedicated almost very single day to learning as much as i can, and it shows, i know there is still a ton of stuff for me to learn, but i am confident that i have a basic understanding about the markets and how they work. Penny stocks are honestly the best thing ever. Each day my knowledge account grows as much as i can while still going to all of my classes and doing homework(I'm a freshman at EWU), and i can tell that my money account will soon follow, I started with 125$ in a robinhood account, it was alll the money i had to my name. Hopefully if someone is reading this in the future my account is a lot bigger than that. LOL, ................I plan on writing about my journey more as i grow and as time moves, since i have no followers(yet) this post is something for me to look back on no reflect this is the begininning of my journey.
