  6. 57 years old from Concord, CA.
    Been trading stocks and options almost a decade.

    For those of you debating about what constitutes a trader:
    Remember how exciting its was when you were a beginner.
    Your first winner..your first winner....learning a new technique...
    all those wonderful and new experiences.

  9. 22, Minnesota

    Trading stocks (since I was around 18; not daytrading) & options.

    This is my break between graduation and hopefully medical school next fall. I'm learning a lot, even though it is stressful at times. I'm not looking to get rich, just make a living, which is easy since I moved back home.
