I am a self-taught trader/investor who has had skin in the game since I was 14 years old. A neighbor gave me the most famous book on value investing at a young age, and since then I have developed a fascination for numbers and how the stock market works. Unfortunately, I never had anyone to mentor me or teach me how the game works, and most of the time, I had to learn the ins and outs of trading and investing the hard way. I have been doing this for longer than most people have been able to stay solvent in the stock market. I have experienced the pain of losing money and the wonderful joys of making an average person’s monthly pay check in a matter of hours
