Hello Mooers! Welcome back.
There are many reason(s) that Mooers start doing trading, and continue to do so, again and again, as follows:
R01: To build a financial safety net for financial protection.
R02: To retire earlier without the need to depend on employer for a living.
R03: Opportunity to earn more money to cover own and/or family expenses.
R04: Joining relatives and friends who had successful trading experience.
R05: The lure of big winning and quick profits in trading! Apes Together, STRONG!
R06: Too bored with life and need a challenging real-life game to play with.
R07: To become the next Jesse Livermore, Paul Tudor Jones, Simon Cawkwel, Warren Buffet, and Steven Cohen.
R08: Want to gamble by trading, as life is short and fear of missing out (FOMO).
R09: Born in a poor (and sad) family with debts such as medical bills, plus, parent are not well educated and have to work two jobs to make ends meet.
R10: To earn more money to help the poor and needy, and donate to care-for-animals organisations.
R11: Loves to try new things and $フートゥー・ホールディングス(FUTU.US)$ make trading faster, easier and cheaper, and very important: $フートゥー・ホールディングス(FUTU.US)$ have wonderful rewards (e.g. free stocks, stock coupons, and MooMoo points to redeem nice gifts!)
R12: Transfer an addiction (e.g. sports lotteries, horse lotteries) to trading.
Well, for me, to own part of a company and watch it grow together with me, and helping me making my dreams into reality, is the reason to start trading.
