Still Working Hard

Hey everyone!

It has been a few months since I posted. HAVE NO FEAR! I am still working hard. Right around September or October I reviewed my progress for the previous year and compared them with the goals I set for myself. As it turns out and this isn't the first time, I changed direction and went completely off track from what I set myself out to accomplish.

I set out to accomplish objectives in real estate but after a few months of hard work I came to realize that it was going to take sacraficing something that I wasn't willing to give up which was time with my family and since I didn't have much money to throw at the investment in the first place accomplishing my fly by night objectives were slim to none. They weren't impossible but they were improbable.

While I stated in one of my previous posts that I had succeeded in stocks I hadn't even begun to utilize its potential. I decided after my goal review and goal setting for this year that I needed to get myself back on track.

My overall picture, my master vision does include real estate but it also includes being a venture capitalist but my starting poison HAS to be stocks because of the time and money that I have at my disposal. That is a realistic analysis of how I can use the assets already on my balance sheet.

So here it is. Between the stop I put myself back on track and today I have bought and sold around seven stocks. Not one of them was a good trade. In some cases it was the stock itself that I selected and in some cases it was the share size that I chose but in ALL cases it was lack of a clear trading strategy.

Just over the last few days I have bought three stocks using my definite trading strategy and so far it appears to be promising.
