Your First Million

Bond-Speculator · Jul 10, 2006

What did it feel like on the day one of your trades put your account (or net worth) over $1,000,000.

How did you celebrate?

What kind of emotions came into play?

Would love to hear your experience on this.

How did you celebrate?

A: Took two weeks off so I didn't run the risk of giving it back thinking I was sooo smart.

What kind of emotions came into play?

A: Thought, "About F'ing time".

Would love to hear your experience on this.

I'll have to get back to you on this one...

It reminds me all the pain, suffering and stupidity of how I lost and waste each of my great fortunes in previous lifetimes... How I got married and died each time...

I realized that once I reached over a million it would not be enough to buyout EliteTrader.

I had ideas about banning certain individuals on ET...

Here's a "truthful" response for you..

People with money usually value their privacy..

Good luck

I was so busy when I went over a million net worth that I really couldn't tell you. What I can tell you is how it feels to go from having a million net worth one day and within 2 years being a net debtor. IT SUCKS! A million can evaporate fast people, especially when you have a business and dont watch yourself. I mostly blame light fixtures and shoes! Hopefully, now that I am focusing on something I love, I will soon be able to tell you how it felt to accumulate my second million! Good luck to all!
