I do a very little bit of trading. It's kind of like playing a board game, just enough to not take it too seriously. I bought 100 shares of block chain about a month ago. When it went up 250%, I sold half of it. So now I have 50 shares and already some profit. I have a crazy-high "sell" limit on it just in case people get really stupid with it, of course. So I figure I'll hold it just to see what happens, since I've already more than broken even.

I don't even know what blockchain is. But this is a company that's buying up stuff to make blockchains which come from bitcoins or whatever.

I made my living daytrading for about 13 years. Started while I worked for a corporation. I went to work at 9 in the morning and since I’m on the west coast I traded before I went to work. Then I started trading in my office. I started making more money than I was making at my corporate job so quit and set up an office with 5 screens in my home. It was my job. I treated it just Like a real job with a daily start time, quota and everything. Then I got sick of the accounting end of trading stocks and started trading futures. Made a good living doing it but after so many years decided to retire and just enjoy life. I am the furthest thing from an investor. After having held futures for sometimes 10 minutes there was no way I could sleep and hold overnight. I know that sounds silly but I just couldn’t do it so when I retired I pulled all my money and closed m account. I have absolutely no interest in it now. When I quit I quit.....but bitcoin was on the radar and I knew nothing about it. One of my trader friends said buy some....so I did. He set the whole thing up for me and I walked away and forgot about it more or less. Woohooooooooo!!!!!! Lol
