First of all, let me tell u, i am Rimal, final year student in Engineering at *some 
* coll. I got interested in investing early, during my sophomore year, after playing on a simulator at the techfest here at the coll.
Since then read little on investing, particularly got influenced by ppl like warren buffet and their long term investment strategies. Later i realized, i didnt have a solid financial backing (it would take years for me to accumulate good capital accrued from my salary.. )
The best option is to dive into speculation - making money on a daily basis.
I felt i had the temperament and qualifications for making it as a trader
I sat for a futures first trading interview recently, thought i had done well till the final round of the interview as my colleague had but god know what the company was looking for. Anyway to hell with a company sharing its traders profits. Both of us were let down and *some* guy got in. I decided to go about this on my own..
THE MILION DOLLAR QUESTION - WHY AM I HERE?
Hoping that this place will help me augmen my knowledge in trading interactions with veterans / quasi - veterans in trading business before i get my first paycheck which is a good half a year from now..
1) Trading/investing experience. - Nil (on the market), have some from simulator.. well but in my opinion, market cannot be replicated on a program.
2) The number of years i have been investing or trading in the markets. - 0
3) area of interest - IPO's/secondary market/futures/options/commodities, etc. - Well actually want to learn all and know about the scope in all, since investing in different areas will moderate the risk during tough times (don care about high profit potential though.)..
4) Howi make my trading decisions. ?? - Ohh lala
5) How i discovered this forum. ??- Online, googling.
