My First TradeKing Trade

A few weeks back, I finally made my first trade at TradeKing. I did a lot of research on different investment strategies. I finally decided to follow the advice of Warren Buffet's teacher, Benjamin Graham. I read his book 'œThe Intelligent Investor'. It was not an easy book to read, especially the later chapters, but definitely worth reading.

 

For me, the value investment is best strategy because I lack the time to investigate companies. I will only invest in a few different EFTs, such as SPY, and some more which I have not decided yet.

 

My first purchase was made in excitement and haste. From now on, my minimum trade would be $500 which means I have to wait a few months before I can save enough money for trade.

 

Anyways good luck to you all!
