gearjammer - When I first entered the market, I knew absolutely NOTHING about it.
But "in the span of 3 short years" I managed to turn 50k into almost 300k, and now I'm daytrading, short term, long term, shorting, flirting with e-mini's, etc.
Guess maybe some of us learn faster than others?
Personally, although it can be done, there are better stocks to trade than this "skyrocket" imo.
