Want to start out and say THANK YOU to everyone who seriously contributes to this board, it's been a great learning experience thus far and i appreciate everyone's advice and wisdom! Anyways, I finally decided to join ihub after jbem informed everyone that the board would eventually transform into a space in which new/green investors, such as myself, could come and learn how to become good and knowledgable investors. I've definitely learned a ton since I started investing by myself not too long ago (DEC 2014) and I'm wanting/willing to learn more. I try and read charts, but I just don't know what I'm specifically looking for/at just yet. I need to specifically learn how to pick out my own stocks and not relying on the information provided by others here. In my portfolio, I've got some stinkers so far and some real winners too. (Stinkers i havent sold yet and the company i'm down the most in has been discussed on a few occasions on this board) ANYWAYS, I wanted to introduce myself to the group, and shout out a big thank you to those who have helped me progress to this point! Cheers!
