To The Moon

Just being a regular guy, being introduced to stocks by a roommate and having downloaded TigerTrade as my first legitimate working "stock service?" It's been fun. 

I still have absolutely no idea what I'm really doing, but between reading other peoples articles, watching the market and reading the daily news, you can kind of make some sort of educated guess. I guess that will come with time, though. 

So far I have put in a small amount of money, picked my USD shares thanks to the current promotion, and have tried playing with a demo account to try and learn how to use the new (to me) interface. I still haven't figured what a lot means or does, so any help would be enormously appreciated.

I have had the experience of both losing andwinning money and looking into the information regarding where the money is going, andhave made my decisions based on where I think the world may be heading, or things that people (in this day) would deem worthwhileto keep around. 

I reccomend making use of the free demo account and playing around with fake money or taking part of the new promotions to have a little more money to be able to buy shares with as there are minimum amounts you can buy. 

Hot tip: As an Australia, I have tried to switch my stocks to AUD and invest in an AUD stock however have come to find that there is a minimum of $500 buy in. I think I made a mistake converting the money out of usd to try it as I don't have $500 to start trading in my own country, so I think I'll be sticking to the US stocks a while longer and only converting to withdraw.
