I have owned stocks since I was a child. Initially because my father would gift me shares of stock while growing up, and intensifying as I started to fully understand exactly what he was trying to teach me. What I have learned from him and from a small network of like minded friends has captivated my attention and created a true passion for investing, compounding money, teaching, and learning. I am using Seeking Alpha as an opportunity to learn and grow and hopefully share some great ideas with others.
