Millionaire TradersQ: What is the market that you trade?
A: Primarily Nasdaq.
Q: Are you strictly a day trader, or are you a position trader?
A: I would say 98 percent day trading. Occasionally I’ll take
something overnight.
Q: Most people we talk to usually don’t like to take anything home
overnight either. Let us start by getting the basic background story
from you. How did you get started in trading? What triggered your
interest? Was it your family, or was this something you came across
yourself?
A: You want the shorter version or the longer version?
Q: The longer version.
A: Okay. Well, I’ve always had an interest in the market. Growing
up, my father was always dabbling with his stock portfolio, and I
would poke around at the time with a very small Schwab account.
Q: That’s very common. So you traded a little bit in high school,
then you went to college. Did you focus on finance or a completely
different subject matter?
A: I knew I was going into business and I did my undergraduate
in finance and went on to get an MBA as well. But I always thought
I’d be more on the brokerage side of things. I interned for a major
financial services company and it worked out very well. I actually
built a nice book of business while I was in school.
