When I was a preteen, I would watch my father pour over the stocks in the newspaper and occasionally hear him on the phone with his broker, placing orders to buy and sell shares. One day I asked my father if he could buy some stock and he said sure. He opened an account and bought 1 (one), yes, 1 share of “The Bell Telephone Company of Canada”. I still have that 1 share today and it has multiplied into a couple of dozen shares through splits and a dividend reinvestment program. That was the starting point for my stock ownership/trading career. Ever since, I have been interested in stocks and the stock market and I have subsequently traded throughout most of my adult life. It has been a learning process that continues today as the markets and trading tools evolve. My passion has expanded to helping others and hopefully guide them away from the many mistakes I made as a novice trader. This is one of the reasons I wrote my first book, How to Swing Trade.
