There are definetly a list of specific goals that I envision in my mind and I tend to complete. One of the biggest visions that I have for myself is to start an investment firm. I have recently taken a liking to investing in stocks and once I've read a book about Warren Buffett, one of the biggest investors of all time, I've immediately told myself that I would follow into his footsteps.
Of course there are a few other minor goals that I would have to achieve in order to make that vision a reality. One of them would be to get an internship with an investment firm of some kind, hopefully in the summer time. This would be a huge step towards getting me the experience and knowledge that I need in order to make my vision complete. In order to complete this secondary goal, I've taken several actions such as composing a strong resume for myself, as well as signing up with the Baruch's career development center in order to look for possible internships.
A third goal of mine is to actually start investing on my own. This will take some time but I am plannning to begin investing early in the summer. As of right now I'm taking the necessary steps in order to start investing. I've been gathering research and reading a variety of books in order to broaden my knowledge of stocks. I've also been saving up some money that I've made in my previous jobs and my current job in order to have some capital that I could actually invest.
Completing the minor goals will eventually lead me to the biggest goal that I intend to achieve. This will complete my vision of starting an investment firm. However my vision will not stop there. Once I do start an investment firm, I would make sure that it would reach the heights of corporate giants and be one of the biggest investment firms in the United States.
good luck.. Investment is a good idea.. but don't gamble on it too much..
ReplyDeleteInvesting on your own, huh? They say in the legal profession that the man who represents himself has a fool for a client. I think that holds true with investing too. You could get lucky... make some good picks and rake it in. But it takes a lot of time, knowledge, and access to research to do it consistantly with success.
ReplyDeleteUnlike Zak's comment, my advise would be to treat day trading like a game of poker. Start at a small table, learn some strategy... the more you play the better you'll get at reading bluffs before you go all in with 2 ladies and get beat with a flush Ace high.
Good luck!
haha at Sarah comment! i also invest on my own and i can testify to your comment that it is a gamble and you do need to start small. Vitali, your goals are very ambitious...i support you 100%. The stock market is really just a big game that everyone tries to win at. The best thing is exactly what you want to do, get an internship, learn about the workings of the financial world and work hard. When you do open your own investment firm, i would like to be your partner and we will rule wall street!
ReplyDeleteVery prepared and well-thought visions!
ReplyDeleteI hope you keep up the good work and accomplish all of that! Wish you all the best!
