I understand now

why people in the field give so much advice. It just feels good! Even if you're new. I was very hesitant to even get started because all the advice I read was that going through hell and back was a requirement to getting any results.. But decided to try anyway, wait until I got burned the first time, then walk away if needed. I'm only just shy of 3 months in here, and I'm up $2800, which is a 7.3% gain from where I started. Not much but feels great. There were some things I did in the first few weeks that I admit only worked out for me because of luck, but hey, it worked.
