I wish I had done THIS differently!
I bought my first stock in December 2019. It was a single share of Zoom. (And no, I didn’t have a crystal ball! I just thought it was cool software.)
As weeks went by, I added a little more to my account... a share of Starbucks, a share of Microsoft, a share of Disney and a share of ZScaler (a cyber security company recommended by Motley Fool).
Then covid happened. Like most investors, I lost money in March. Ouch. (Unlike a lot of investors, I lost money in April, too!)
I made a LOT of mistakes. Probably more than I could count!
By May, I started to get the hang of it. (And the market got a lot friendlier!)
I was watching my money grow and multiply... it was exciting!
Fast forward to today, 14 months later. I have earned gains in excess of 150%. (No options, crazy risky bets or GameStop!)
Investing has gone from something I "should" do to a hobby I dabbled at to now, a passion and my greatest source of revenue.
I'm passionate about helping OTHERS invest profitably, too.
