    Hi Joannie
    I started in share trading about 60 years ago

    Just as a hobby but when i got serious about it I discovered that top of the line Blue Chip stocks went bust at the same rate as the penny dreadfuls due to bad management and lets say unusual transactions and very rarely related to the quality of what they were selling

    So I entered the day trading sphere and cut out most of the shenanigans that I had no control over, never holding stocks for more than an hour did wonders for my sanity, and the buzz was fantastic

    The rule is never invest in anything that you can't hold or control, and in day trading you can sell in an instant

    But it is certainly not for the faint hearted, but like many other forms of gambling if you have a plan and stick to the plan it can be great fun with much less chance of losing money than any other method

    Of course I look at shares that I bought (remember most of them) and sold for less than a dollar which are now in the hundreds of dollars but there are also a lot that are non existent
