The Flashback Series

It was three years ago this month when I opened my first brokerage account and started trading. Looking back I can't help but notice how my investment strategies have changed. The reason I started this blog in the first place was so that I could keep track of my trades and trading strategies. What works? What doesn't? How could I have done better? What did this trade teach me? While I have learned a lot about investing by reading books and articles by other people, there is far more to learn by analyzing your own investing experiences.

Unfortunately I didn't start blogging about my trading experiences until Jan '07, but I remember my first trades like they were yesterday. I spent some time tonight looking back on some of my early trading records and it brought back some of the most memorable, exciting experience I have had in the market.

In "The Flashback Series" I will highlight some of my most memorable trades as well as the most valuable lessons I have learned so far. Hopefully my experiences will help someone else out there avoid some of the gut wrenching losses I have had, or maybe I can help them make 150% in 3 days like I did in July of '05 =)
