An Interview with DRS71188

Last updated: 11/20/2013

The Fool:: What lesson do you wish you’d learned ten years ago?
DRS71188:: Hmm, I wish I would of taken things a little more seriously, I also wish someone would of told me about the markets. I would of had a move more competitive drive in my education years, if I would of known there was more to life than becoming a Lawyer, Doctor, or minimum wage/middle class...

The Fool:: What was your first educational exposure to investing?
DRS71188:: Lets see, I read a book on Quantitative finance in 8th grade (about 10 years ago), I never really knew what I was reading, but as I got older, it allowed me to understand more topics such as technical analysis and fundamental overview, therefore I entered the markets with lots of Quantitative knowledge, as well as understandings towards financial and economic forecasting.

The Fool:: Tell us about Your Dumbest Investment... and the lesson you learned from it.
DRS71188:: Pretty much every options trade between January to May on Apple, as well as not purchasing calls on May Tesla, speculation is your foolish best friend, in my opinion....

When The Cravings Began

I woke up in late 2007, working a crappy construction job and decided, I am going to become a healthcare financial analyst one day... Yep... That is pretty much my story, I have no background, or relation to finance before that point, I have two parents who are well versed, but overall, just genuine interest in the markets and healthcare/energy.

How I Invest: Questionable!

I am a very questionable investor, I typically stick to long buy and sell side options, as well as long growth opportunities. I look for volatility, and try to make it my best friend, though it can often become my least favorite person. I do pretty well though, I am riskier than most, but I find myself moving towards the safer sides of things as I get older.
