It might come as a surprise to many, but when I first ventured into the stock market, my initial goal was simply to earn an extra $1,000 per month. This would allow me to enjoy outings with friends, watch movies, and dine together during my college years in Ohio, where recreational options were somewhat limited. Little did I know that the stock market would captivate me with its excitement and complexity. As I gained a deeper understanding of its inner workings, I became as engrossed in it as I was with StarCraft at the time, fueling my obsession and passion for trading.
