How I Got Started in Trading

I was in my late teens and I kept on hearing from my friends about all these internet stocks that were going up. And so I decided to kind of look into it, started doing some research, started asking friends. Ended up opening a small account, a few thousand dollars back then trading those dot com stocks that went crazy throughout the bubble. Obviously I blew up a couple of accounts real early, real fast. But started learning and definitely got more and more interested in the markets and what he had to offer.
