How Did you Get Started in trading, Investing, Stockmarket, Futures, markets in gener

It's in my blood.

I've been playing with money since I was a kid. It all started when I was about 12 betting on NHL hockey on the Sega Genesis. Then betting on Mah-Jong then poker and finally the stock market.

interesting thread. Here is my short story:

Graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston w/ a degree in what amounts to music business. ...

I think music people relate well to market, they know when market reach the climax in order to short. :)
 
I hated the thought of having to grow up and work 20/7 for beans like my parents did when I was a kid. My parents did maintenance work among other things for their affluent clientele and I often followed them around. I picked up on things like the way they live and one of the things I noticed is that they all spent a considerable amount of time and money on their financial investments in their offices and homes.

I developed a fascination for money and what the hysteria surrounding it was about so I started teaching myself about investments. I've been wanting to trade for several years now but I've only made stock investments and business investments with my family. I never opened up an account because deep down I've always felt that I would get suckered.

Funny thing is that now that my family is in a financial crunch I've been using my time to learn about trading again instead of working.

Seems like less money = more time to think

I'm now in the process of getting my computer upgraded and opening an account with IB with several g's to experiment with.
