Made my first trade at the age of 10 with the help of my aunt. Atlas Consolidated Mines, Class A stock, bought $ 100 shares a $ 1.00, sold it for $ 2.00. Had my biggest day in the 1979-1980- Resorts Internationa; Class A stock, bought 300 shares at $ 27.00, finally sold it out at $ 144.00 a share six months later.
American Capitalism at it's finest, and always know the company you are trading.
