i am new to trading...i am 31 and wish i did this awhile ago!!!
you all are either really good or make good salespeople!!!
realistically, since i don't want to flush all my money down the toilet while i am learning, how possible is it to turn $2,000 into like $10,000 in 4-6 months with these micro stocks? i figured that i would take $2,000, consider it gone, and just learn and play - with the hope of making a profit!!! obviously, as i get better i am going to have a lot more long-term stuff in my portfolio, but for now i wanna play a bit.
i've been doing a lot of reading and studying charts...and getting more excited about the monday bell!!!
so far i am in with CMKM, QBID, and IBZT with about ~$1,000 invested. i am gonna find some more stuff to play with with the other $1,000. I'm not greedy for THE BIG GAIN (although it would be nice), i just want to make constant small gains and see where that gets me in 4-6 months.
i'd like to hear some comments. thanks in advance!!! great site.

Remember, it is always your money and make sure you do what is right for you..but there are definitely people here who know what they are doing. Also- remember that every person has a different personality and also every person has a different trading style unique to their own. What works for you might not work for someone else and vice versa.

HHHHOOOOWWWWLLLL!!!!!!!!! I hate Holidays!!!!! The best way to learn to play fast is to take a month (keep trading real dollars the way you normally do) and play on paper. Give yourself $5000 (on paper) and be a maniac! Watch your news sites and the posts on this board and get in and out thru the day with your imaginary funds. In a months time you will have a better feel for it. You'll get comfortable with "Who Brings The Grit" and "Who Brings The Chit"! The thing I like the most (other than quick huge gains) is that even when the market is slow or slumping, something is always moving. Learn to play on News.

ONE HARD RULE TO LIVE WITH SOMETIME IS (YOU`LL NEVER GO BROKE TAKING A PROFIT) SO TAKE IT AND DON`T LOOK BACK AT WHAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE MISSED = JUST THE NEXT TRADE AHEAD.

Well put. The next play is coming up soon. Can't be prepared for the future when dwelling on the past.
