Did u go to school ? or learn on your own and if so wut books or sites helped u most ? wut did u focused most on in the begining ? how old were u when u started ? and is it paying off now ?.... just would like to know because im just begining and have lots of time on my hands and don't go to any schools just graduated i'm currently 21 and want to get into stocks full time as a individual investor. Been studying or a week or so and its alot of info to take in. So I need to break it down and figure out where to begin n what to learn next so I can piece it all together better. Thank you.
