Hi Everybody-New To The Site and Forums!

[kevin]

Hi everybody! My name is Kevin, I'm 15 years old, and live in Ontario Canada not to far from Toronto. I stumbled upon this site last week and have been actively reading articles, forum threads, watching videos and more this past week. It seems like there is a ton of information to be learned from the site so I decided to join and introduce myself!

I have many interests which revolve mostly around technology and finances. I have been into webdesign for a while now, and know a lot of html, css and php! I have coded a few sites of my own and am helping out my high school currently by building a school football website.

On the finance side of things, I enjoy managing money and figuring out what to do with it. As a kid I always told my parents to put all my money in the bank (I did that since I was told the banks gave me money for putting it there :P ). Now that I'm older and understand more about the financial world in general I am investing my money in the stock market and trying to find opportunities to make much more from it!

I have always been into business as well (Hence why I'm here :P) and although I don't have any ideas right now I hope to be able to meet tons of new people, figure out new ideas, and be an active member of the community here! So any help figuring out what I could do would be great! :P

Anyways, its great to finally be here and I can't wait to start talking, and learning with all of you here!

Kevin

Hey Kevin,

Welcome to the forum. I am sure that you will learn a lot of stuff here, there are a lot of clever business people on here that can help out.

You say that you are investing in stock, are you making some good money from that?

Hi Ryan, first and foremost thanks for the welcome I appreciate it!

As for question, last year I made (what I consider to be) an impressive return of 50%. This year its been a bit tougher with the various variables that I didn't have to deal with last year such as the uprest in the middle east, earth quake in Japan ect... However it is still going pretty well and I defiantly encourage people to look into it and see if it is something your into.

Currently I'm looking to use a good portion of the money I made and reinvest it into a business and that's of course one of the reasons I'm here

Welcome the TBF, Its a great community and there is hell of a lot of information for anyone here.

If your looking to invest money into a business try investing in something that you love to do and see your self doing it 10 - 15 years from now hopefully, Unless by then they got all new equipment and stuff like that witch I think they would..

You said you know programming languages such as, HTML CSS and PHP thats great to know and can come handy when doing business with the web. Have you ever though about creating a portfolio for your self? and doing some freelance coding work? If not check it out and look into it you might like it and it could be easy if you know what your doing. Its easy money when you need it.

Besides welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy your stay .

Hey Kevin,
Welcome to TBF! Glad to have another Canadian here, right eh? You should talk to @ryanhami, @jwinvestments, and @sutler. They are all stock investors and would be a good resource to bounce ideas off of.

What stocks do you focus on?

Hi ReMiXeDg. Thanks for your suggestion, I have been looking into doing some freelance webdesign. Currently I don't have many sites or past client projects to show for but will defiantly begin looking into getting more to add. Also out of curiosity what is a generally acceptable rate to charge for webdesign in general? I'm sure it depends on the quality, speed ect.. but I'm just wondering.

Hi Bond! It's great to be here and I must say you have done a great job on this site it is incredible! Also thank you for the advice I'll defiantly talk to the people you mentioned and can't wait to begin learning from them!

As for what I focus on, mainly technology and resources. I also owned quiet a bit of bank stocks last year but have recently begun selling them due to the current market climate.
