Collegetrader, I'm 19 years old and a sophomore in college also. Started my education at the beginning of January and started trading with a 4600 account around mid march. I swing trade options and when I started I thought I knew everything, ha..stupid. I was up 1500 in my first day and...

i was in the same boat as you.. i started trading mid december last year (mid freshman year). It actually really distracted me from my schoolwork because I was doing A LOT more work with the market than i was with school. But, it has really payed off and I have really improved my trading...

Ok, thanks guys. I have checked out some of the websites you posted and there is some great information there. I am also picking up a few books tomorrow. I appreciate it.

thanks!

Hey, I have been trading options for about 3 months, and I am always up to learning more. Do you have any recommended reading on options or just investing in general that you think would be beneficial? I appreciate it. Thanks

The only reason I said anything at all is because I found that people were giving a bad name to investools because of their lack of knowledge. I found the post and wanted to state my opinion, that's all.

Investools IS really worth the money. I've only been doing it for three months and I've only been investing real money for about a month. I've made almost half of what I started with already just because of the education that I have learned from Investools. I knew absolutlely nothing about...
