I'm a new forum member and just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I'm relatively new to the world of trading, but I've learned a lot in other interests through internet forums, so I'm hoping you all will be a resource as I learn. (Technically, where I'm from I should have said y'all) I got started trading MAS off of a hunch earlier this year, and to date have made 4 trades for profit ranging from 8% to 14%. Those trades kind of made me realize that I should approach trading with a more informed and rational approach. I don't really have a solid trading strategy so to speak, but I think of my trading as my own little personal business. That being said, my current earnings target is around 6.5% per month. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it to be higher... but I think that's a fair and realistic goal. I'd be interested to know what others have as far as targets and realized earnings. That's it in a nutshell. So Bulls & Bears... it's time to meet the wolves! BM
