Introduction

Hello! Welcome to my absolutely free to read blog. This blog is going to be mostly about stocks and finance. I am a college student about to start my second year. I am majoring in finance, and want to become a financial analyst/consultant after I graduate. To that end, I have set up this blog in order to document my ideas about the financial markets.

I am for the most part a technical analyst; however, I do use value investing for long term stock picks. I prefer to use candlesticks in my analysis because of their ease of use. Candlestick patterns are also great for setting stops. I am currently reading Steve Nison’s Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques 2nd Ed.

I started actively trading during my first semester of school. The only market I am monetarily invloved in is the FOREX market. The FOREX market has proven to be very challenging if not impossible to master.

I am also trading the stock market through the simulator at www.investopedia.com.
