I am Bob Stovall of Forsyth (Monroe County), Georgia. I'm rapidly approaching 70 years of age and currently working a real job as an assistant manager of a call center for a software developer in Macon, GA. (My third career) I'm a husband, father of three (one deceased) and grandfather of three. I've delved into several business ventures as well as invested in rental properties. I've reduced my RE holdings to two income properties and the farm where I currently live with my bride of almost 42 years.
I've been trading/investing for not quite 10 years. I've had some success with stocks. What losses I've experienced were not so much losses as missed opportunities: failing to act when I had the means to do so but was either distracted by something else or dissuaded by someone else. Not shifting blame but acknowledging that I am responsible for me and my successes and failures and should, therefore trust my judgement and recognize my tolerance for risk and not look to others for instructions on what to do or when, where or why to do it.
I've never considered day trading until my wife shared Andrew's very excellent book with me and it was almost an epiphany for me. My greatest success with investing, thus far, has been the swing trading I did with BAC. It was fun, it was exciting and it was financially rewarding. But I believe that with the help of this group and the tools available via https://bearbulltraders.com that I should be able to replace my day job income within the next year and devote more time to other pursuits that I have put off up til now. I'm looking forward to this new and exciting venture.
