Just a quick introduction....feel free to check out my profile if you're interested in more. First, I should point out that I have damage from my first cancer (3 brain tumors) that affects both my typing (typos, mixing words---e.g., starting the next word before I'm finished with the current word), and resulting from a different tumor (2.5 cm occipital lobe), if my fingers don't detect it first, I might not see the errors. So please excuse these. it's not my spelling, it's damage from my first cancer. Now, on to the real stuff. I started out investing, and was always told, during big selloffs, corrections, etc., NOT to sell anything...it'll all go back up again. Well, I quickly realized that, with my very limited investing account (forced into Social Security Disability by cancer #1---not much money, period), making nice gains (for me, that was about $1200) and then having 100% of them along with a bunch of capital, TWICE, investing wasn't the way to make enough to escape from SSD. So, around October '15 or so, I decided to switch over to trading (originally thinking of day trading, now swing trading). I am still in the learning stage. My #1 issue keeping me from trading is being able to consistently pick stocks with a high percentage chance of it/them being a winner. With that in mind, I would welcome any help I can get (free---no $$ to pay for help). I am volunteering with the American Cancer Society and the 2016 Fort Walton Beach Relay For Life, as a member of both the Event Leadership Team and the Survivor/Caregiver Committee. I am also a co-captain (seems there's always two of us) on the survivor team.
