Hello, everyone, it is a pleasure to be here.
I started investing in stocks in 2010, very slowly. I started out with Scottrade and it was bought out by TD Ameritrade and I have not become familiar with their program as of yet. The first thing I had to learn was not to become panicky when my stocks dropped and I made many mistakes by selling at a loss. I had to learn not to listen to all of the whimsical chatter on the internet and go with the facts and my intuition. I use to chase the dividend and I no longer do that. I learned on my own investing in stocks. I average around 7 percent on my investments. I believe if you buy a quality stock, just keep it. I learned the hard way. But, now I get it. Happy investing.
