I might be opening up a can of worms by doing this but it will help me figure out a few things. No need to lie - Just state your age and be proud of it!
I'll start first. I'm a 29 Yr old Electrician who started trading stocks 4 years ago. I'm married and own 3 properties. I also own my own business on the side.
No need to be detailed, just trying to break the ice.

25 years old. Been getting into stocks just in the last 2 months. Self-employed...sort of, lol! I am a pet-sitter, so work isn't steady, but I love it. Married just over a year, don't own a damn thing but a few cars. I'll bet I'm the only female here who not only does her own tune-ups and oil changes, but I drag race for fun too LMAO!

Sorry about that a friend of mine signed up, and when I posted I didn't notice the name was changed the above post should have been for Spunky Jay.

17 from New York. I'm a SR. in high school. I started trading when I was in 8th grade. My dad gave me $2000 to trade with. I guess he just saw it as an educational expierence and he knew I wouldn't just waste it because I spent so much time each day researching and learning about stocks. Well of course, newbies do make errors. I was able to double it up and request a check for $2000 before I lost it all so that was good experience that ended up costing me nothing.
I started up again earlier this year with only about $1000 and now I'm at about $1700. Hit some hard losses with CDVJ (formerly PAVP) but have made plenty back with QBID and WNMI. The biggest thing I've learned is it's okay to take losses. It's better to take a bunch of small loses then ride stocks down to nothing. Good luck to everyone with trading and I hope you're all sucessful.

Hi I am 19 I have been tradeing for about one year and have made good sized gains on my etrade account. However due to lack of money 4.4K invested I could only afford small amounts of shares. That is why I turned to the penny stocks. They hold the biggest return on a small investment. I am currently holding QBID, USCI, CDVJ, CMKX, EDIS and WNMI. Good luck to all on monday hope to see over 100% gains for all.

I'm 37, and have been trading stocks for nearly 17 years. Last year I bought a ton of RDRTQ just before they took on the Q in their name. I watched it drop to the OTC, and started watching it down here in OTC land, and figured what the hell, maybe this is where I ought to be. Still hold many NM issues, but the OTC has become my passion. I've made my money back on RDRTQ- and then some.

25 years old, former marine. Been buying stocks off and on since I was about 14. Didn't actually start doing research and DD on them until now. Have become a penny junkie ever since I made 200% gains off MDDM.
Two weeks ago I was up 40% on my original portfolio after only 2 months of trading ...Unfortunatly, I'm now down 20% of my original portfolio, so I still have much to learn. Most of those losses came from WNMI dropping 35% since I bought it however, so I'm confident I'll come out of that one with a profit.

Im a 20yr old mechanical engineering major, considering a minor in biomechanical eng. After graduation I want to go into a branch the armed forces (either navy or air national guard, to fly). I was turned down from the marines PLC (its officer candidate school but it takes place over 2 6 week periods summer periods throughout college, rather than 1 long 12 week period after graduation) because i have screws in my arm from when i broke it a few yrs ago, but im working on getting a waiver for that (all branches will require one). If im medically unable to fly, i wouldnt mind being a mechanical engineer i guess.

37, live in Northern California, but originally from the east coast. Work in the visual effects industry also. Got interested in pennies when I heard about the VKB and started researching to invest, which led me to Allstocks. Then read about Qbid! Into GZFX, TFCT, WNMI (but too high!) and of course as much QBID as I was able to get my mitts on. GLTA.
