SyndicateTwo's Stock Board

[alero]

Its definitely an active trade management style, which is what I like. I'm mostly observing, paper trading various options/stock strategies so when I start making money and saving it I can be prepared. I've learned already there is no quick buck, but a slow couple percent a month with good discipline is possible.

I don't want to give most of my money to mutual funds because I know what they are like. I'd rather manage it myself. I worked as an intern for T. Rowe last summer and fall and while the managers barely beat the indices they are taking home a very nice bonus every year.

I'm graduating in a couple weeks. I'll be in DC working for Business Objects, which was just bought by SAP. Its a business intelligence firm. They are going to try to put me on a DoD work track, so even if IT spending goes down the next 1-2 years, the government will (hopefully) always spend on defense work.

I'll be in San Jose for 6 weeks for training before I move down to DC starting July. I'm hoping I have a good time and find stuff to do.
