your first stock invested in?, page-34

Still remember the nervousness of the first trade. It was 27/10/2008.

Clicking that "submit button" to buy 4858 AXA shares at $4.10 (19917.80 + brokeage = 19947.75) This was a HUGE amount for me, considering when I gambled money before (horse racing) my maximum layout was $5 (1win 4place)

My plan was simple, just make $1,000.00.

True to begineers luck on the 31/10/2008 i ended up selling at $4.32. Been hooked ever since, but have slowed down. I do agree wholeheartly with bassyabbie "you don't need to trade every hour, or every day, week or month.

Shares	Cost	Brokeage	Total Cost
Buy - 4858	4.10	29.95	19,947.75
Sell - 4858	4.32	29.95	20,956.61
Profit			1,008.86
