Welcome investors, young and old!!

When I named this blog The Active Young Investor I was not intending on using this title to refer to myself or readers. I happen to be a young investor. You may happen to be 18 years old just learning the ropes, or a 52 year old getting a late start on their retirement account. I’d like to welcome all investors to this blog regardless of investment experience. I hope my insights can prove valuable in some way.

One of my intentions with this blog is fairly selfish. I simply want to log all my trades so that I can learn from past mistakes as well as understand the rational behind profitable trades. That doesn’t mean that you cannot benefit from being here. Trading is very risky; trading alone is potentially more risky. So let’s talk and work together for all our benefit.

I’ve spent a great deal of my investment career following the commodities markets and main indexes. You will find that a lot of my discussion may revolve around the same industries simply because that is what I trade. Discussion will include fundamental analysis, technical analysis, as well as macroeconomic commentary.

Even though I’d consider my past investment results excellent, I do not wish to be the ultimate authority on anyone’s personal investments. My ideas are simply that, ideas. I want this to be a place where investors share insights on the financial markets, not a place for hot stock tips. Please consult with your own professional investment adviser before taking any action.
