Introduction - Investor & Trader's Diary

After a few weeks of browsing and getting inspired by other members of the steemit community, I think it’s about time to start my own journey on this revolutionary platform. Being part of generation X, I never really got the hype around social media, I don’t even own a Facebook account. Back in my day, me and many of friends didn’t even own stationary phones, if I wanted to talk them, I would have to get my ass out of the house and bike to meet them. After 25 years of corporate life, I have decided to dedicate my time to investing, and lately also trading. A huge part of investing is learning, studying, following new trends, understanding new technologies etc. That is how I ended up becoming fascinated by cryptocurrencies and technologies surrounding this. As initially being a bit skeptic abut social media, investing is what taught me the true value of its power, and I do now own FB, TWTR, LNKD (thanks MSFT), BIDU, … and recently added some SNAP, after a decent post-IPO pullback. I would love to contribute to this amazing community, and share my thoughts and ideas for potential investments and trading opportunities. Given my non-English background these tips will mostly come in the form of a trading journal, where I wish to share some trading ideas before Wall Street opens, as often as possible. We will also track our results/profitability as this evolves. I gladly accept any ideas or suggestions from the community! Being an audiophile, I will occasionally also add some of my favourite music, which helps with the days that the market bites your backside.
