Trading is not that easy!

It wasn't that long ago that I was bragging about having tripled my fake investments in just one month, and now through a series of bad choices and bad timing (getting out of many stocks way too early) I have now seen my fake portfolio go from over $30,000 down to just over $14,000. :( It's a darn good thing I'm not doing this for a living, I'd be in big trouble! But at the same time this experience has taught me a lot and I look forward to building up my money once again, and hopefully will not make too many of the same mistakes of the past.
