Tesla creating some sparks!
Tesla (Ticker: Tsla) has recently been hit hard by negatives news and opinions, which in my opinion led it to being undervalued, especially considering the prices it has been enjoying recently. 
On the back of this, I purchased $300,000 worth of options which in less than 24hrs returned over 18%. 
There was sudden crash which dropped my Return to 8.65%, but I'm confident of a boost again.
I'm hoping to sell out when I hit a 20% return.

Stocks can go down as well as up!
That's definitely the primary lesson learnt here! My shares have been soaring, up to a decent amount of return, triple my past postings........but have now been wiped out.
Good lesson in caution!
Thankfully I still have over my initial million ($1,003,000), but it's a testament to the volatility of the markets.
Come on Tesla!

A year of rent up so far!
Couple days into Stocktrak now,  and thought I’d share my experiences thus far.
I’ve made around 6 trades now, which cost me a total of just over $400,000, primarily technical companies (such as Hynix memory,  Micron, LG, Seagate and a quick buy in on Apple) but with a safe buy in (I think!) of Walmart.
Most these were based on my own personal assumptions and knowledge of the markets (Flash RAM rising in price, Apple releasing IOS7, LG's announcement of the G2 phone for example),  though if it were my own personal million I’d have done far more research!
Interestingly enough, even in the past couple of days, my mind set has changed, and I’m realising the huge extent even seemingly miniscule events have on the volatility of share prices.
Going to focus on two key areas (still to be determined) to invest my remaining $600,000.
Summary thus far: Up $1,100, a return of investment of 0.11%. Not very impressive at all, but astounding to think that what most people make in a month or so, was made in a day….

I will be using the software/website "Stocktrak" to virtually trade money and put my academic learning into direct action.
This blog will contain success/failures of my actions, along with any articles/information that I feel is informative.
