Lately I have been obsessed with the 10000 hour rule. In Malcolm
Gladwell book Outlier, he writes about how 10000 hours of “deliberate practice”
can make a person an expert.
I have been building a stock trading strategy for the last 2
to 3 years. I have failed many times in picking stocks but for the last half of
2012, my stock trading success rate has gone up. For the last half a year, I usually
spend a one to two hours picking stocks at night and sell the stocks the next
morning. I have probably put more than 1000 hours in developing and practicing
my stock trading on an online simulator and Microsoft excel.
I am 21 about to turn
22 year old and thinking about quitting school to hone my stock trading craft
because if I start studying and practicing now, by the time I am 30 years old I
would be an expert or closes to an expert level. My parents are worried for me,
which makes me worry. I know I can make money on a simulator, but can I make
money in real life in the stock market.
