Default Re: How long have you been in the stock market?

7 years so far and have been happy doing my homework, not trading very much and humming along at 15.2%/annually right now.

I hasn't thrilled doing swing trading for the first year (too stressful and a bitch to do your tax return [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and now just have 13 stocks where I hold onto for the most part, read the daily news on and check out the S&P reports at least once per month on.

I have swapped out of on average, 2 stocks per year.

Most people I know are unable to swing trade successfully. I don't think it is something you should view as a get rich scheme, but chug along nicely with low double digit returns as history has proven you can [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
