im a technical trader for both local market and nyse. i risked everything to be a full time trader in exchange to being a full time dad. i wanted to be with family and generate money by trading stocks, which was just a fantasy at first, but it seems to be working out well.

hi guys^^ mstah na?? kani2x up date lng about me ^^


i come for a well off family . i had things that i need and things that i want. but we were trained to become business mans. anywho a little about me lng ^^ since i was 17 i ventured out on my own. never did ask my parents to buy stuff for me. except my basic needs food and clothing lng. what i usualy do i barrow money from them and then later on pay them back lng with no interest of course things like from my cellphone and my laag ako na ana tanan. so wat i did. i was 18 ha.. had my 1st job at a call center it was an awesome job the pay was realy good. but it wasnt all sunshine and rainbows. to get that job. i had to apply 5 times . yes i went thru 5 companies and they all turned me down it wasnt because of my age its just i couldnt pass the exams. but hey it didnt stop me from what i want. i did it all in one week. hahahaha stubborn huh? but in deed luck gave me a chance naka work ra gyd ko^^

then after 4months a new offer came. some1 called me up and offered me a new job^^ the pay isnt that good but morning na ako job and the perks were great after training daw and work for a week or 2 i would be promoted as a team leader or hr daw.^^ so yeah things turned out great. hahaha but. my dad wanted me to finsh my schooling man gyd. yeah so had to stop working and went back to school^^

so mau man gusto ni dady so i did^^ now i still wanted to make money hahaha not that i needed it i just wanted 2 wala ko na contento sa ako allowance^^ so took some time and a lot of research and patience. i said to my self EURIKA hahaha i know what i want! i again loaned from parents and bought my self a best friend hahaha ^^ yeah i bought 2 pedigreed dogs that i love so much and akong joging partners day and night hahaha ^^ so with in 2 years all my expense na bawi na and the loan wala na sad . of course they gave birth to beautiful puppies and i made a decent amount of money from them.^^ it was good money but bot enough ma alouy sad ko sa ako dog nga cge lnag ug give birth. true at the back of my mind investment ni cla. but later on they are more than invesments nako but they are my PET dog and my bestfriends.^^

anyway so na a nako pundo.^^ and still wasnt enough for me hahaha then i asked my dad a favor if i could help out in our business. so which i did for free kay amu ra man ^^ hahaha then started to think again what can i imporve and make money at the same time. again eurika hahaha ryt now i sell load, i have a mini grocery store, a cofe vendo and a atm machine wich i only manage hahaha if u ask me sir pwede ko pa load i wouldnt have a clue ang tao ra ni dady ako ge pa do sa all labor hhaha so what i do is collect lng ko inventory and manage thats it very simple and i make money out of it^^

then with dogs and my mini grocery and so. wala pa sad ko na contented hahaha i was 20years old . i said to my self i need a million before im 21. so from there on i was a still a student and passice incomeS weekly. i invested a part of my money and bought and sold things that eventualy made more money hahaha^^ dont get me wrong i had alot of ups and downs too. rough road sad no kidding. by 21 i didnt make my goal. almost half of it lng. then now im still in the pet trade. i invested sad on snakes ballpythons to be exact. seasonal lng ang breeding 4-6 eggs a year from a single female. to give u a scope lng 1 ballpython would cost u an avarage of 4.5k thats the lowest ballpython. i have produced ballpythons wich would cost around 50-60k each snake. yeah hobby ni nako and i seriously love and enjoy what im doing. i went to this hobby dili lng ingn nga pisik2x lng or suwayan lng. i did my home work and realy ge hagoan ni nako^^ and now mau nani rewards^^ yes im still a college student pa in my 4th year as of now.^^ no work no job^^ hobby lng gyd ni. im 22 now by the way.

my story doesnt stop here pa nuh. going on so yeah doul na ayo ko sa ako goal krn. but i wasnt enough i gave it thought gyd nga dapat in 5 years from now dapat i would have the money na to own a huge house , nice cars, and a big building. hahah dili na small time nga plans. yeah it took months on attending and lestining to seminars and mga business oppurtunities and mga ing ana gyd.meaning oo bai ge hagoan sad nako. met thousands of people . ive talked with them and learn form them. then boom finaly saw something i needed to get what i want.yeah so ni invest na sad ko. so yeah if all goes well 5 years from now ill be all good^^ but im sure i wont stop there pa^^

key points lng nako sa. dont give up, work hard , use your brain!, pray, be open minded lng sad and realy THINK things thru^^
also a mixture of luck, and having the right set of friends that will help you grow, invest on the things that you need not because of what u want. and i guess know what you want and take do 1st step og getting it^^

goodluck all^^
