At the age of 10, I would eagerly check stock prices in the nightly news. It amazed me that you could buy something one day and sell it the next for a profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I work in the IT sector and hold a degree in Computer Science (2003). I also completed a diploma course in Options Trading in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I Trade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Forex (Currency pairs)<\/li>\n<li>Stocks (US and Singapore markets)<\/li>\n<li>Options<\/li>\n<li>Cryptocurrencies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my life, my investments have funded various milestones\u2014purchasing my home, renovations, buying a car, and travel expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have also taught me hard lessons about risk and humility. I have experienced both significant wins and painful losses. This site is where I share what I have learned from both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Next:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/WIS\/what-is-this-site-for\/\">What is this site for?<\/a> \u2192<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the trader behind Work Invest Spend. 17+ years of experience across stocks, forex, options, crypto, and futures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-49","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/workinvestspend.com\/WIS\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/49","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/workinvestspend.com\/WIS\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/workinvestspend.com\/WIS\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workinvestspend.com\/WIS\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workinvestspend.com\/WIS\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/workinvestspend.com\/WIS\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/49\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50,"href":"https:\/\/workinvestspend.com\/WIS\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/49\/revisions\/50"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/workinvestspend.com\/WIS\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
