Get back on track.
With more focus and vigor, it is time to restart my New Year’s resolution after 45 days. Educate myself on the fundamentals of investing. Learn the techniques that will allow me to prosper in the market. Apply those strategies and share my results.
I’ve basically been on a month hiatus. Ignoring those little voices in my head reminding me that I have pledged to invest succesfully. Knowing full well that I need to grow my investor’s library, write my plan and begin the process. So, I will. First I need a timeline. Set deadlines for each phase and get on it.
- Evaluate Various Trading Strategies
- Write My Investment Plan
- Evaluate Trading Platforms
- Choose a Broker
- Paper Trade
- Take the Plunge
I am no further ahead today than I was on January 1st. But failure should not mean abandonment. So, it begins, again.
