i didnt see to have found this question asked anywhere, strange. So im curious at what age everyone started trading, or better phrased made their first trade. How did it go? where have you gotten in terms of progress since then? (e.g. quit, still trading, temporary leave and etc.) I always find this question to be terribly fascinating. My first trade was via my dad who was a bit drunk and said hed buy 100 pieces of anything. I chose google and made 300$. I was 10 or 11. First real trade was buying netflix with my own account and then checking 3 weeks later to see that i made 1400$. For a 13 year old i was shocked.

I saw a special green rock , city RE,which i recognized from a similiar rock in my collection, I asked permission from the REALTOR to take the rock, he said yes[home was empty] I sold that green rock to a dealer for a few bucks, that was a lot to a 7 year old.:D
