I am following your story with interest Alf. I do not understand trading, but I am impressed and wish you the best. I admire your attitude.

I am new to this community and the first thought that comes to mind is that there are a lot of good people here wanting to help! I appreciate all the information you've shared with us Phil. And Alf you deserve two thumbs up for your effort! Just my thought at the moment. Keep it up guys, I'll be here frequently, cheers!

Hello everybody, my dear fellow friends.
It's been a year since I wasn't able to login again, and since I have abandoned all my contact with you, such great people, such positive individuals, who brought me through when I felt most dissapointed with me, and my financial situation, due to a chain of mistakes that I have made by these days one year ago.
Well, one year later, I haven't been too active in the markets, but definitely have been very active in recovering my self confidence, and specially studying, by creating several stock investments courses, with young high school students, older adults, and creating a whole "culture" around me, among people close to me, and that has been great. That puts me in the thankful grounds, as I am sharing my little knowledge with others, but specially I am sharing my experiences, those good and obviously those really bad.
My decision for this year, and from now on, is to write a book, based on these experiences, trading, winning, loosing, why, how, and teaching, as teaching demands research, deep studying, and trying to communicate what is clear and obvious to one, but is not as easy for others.
Also, retaking these experiences of sharing, and cheering others through this site, so many nice words, so many positive thoughts, and that's what a successful life is made of: always the plus (+), positive sign, in everything.

I wasn't here a year ago. But it was great reading your story.

Thank you for that.
