At some point in life, we gain an interest in different ventures for different reasons. Ross Cameron’s interest in the stock market began when he was still in school, probably in the fifth or sixth grade. Before becoming a trusted financial mentor, his great-great uncle’s success piqued his interest, and Cameron’s interest in the stock market grew further.
This, when he visited New York City during the seventh grade. During his visit, he got a chance to interact closely with the stock market. With his friend Cooper, Ross Cameron created a portfolio where they purchased shares from well-established companies. Cameron was excited, looking forward to when he would start investing real money in the stock market.
In 2001, Ross Cameron opened a trading account with Ameritrade. He then funded $1,000 and bought shares from Caterpillar (CAT), Pfizer (PE), and other companies. He was yet to become an active day trader; however, he was eager to become an investor.
With time, the successful business leader realized that there were stock shares with high volatility that could make him a day trader. As summer ended, Ross Cameron noted that the stock values hadn’t changed significantly as he had expected. Nonetheless, Cameron was eager to create wealth through stock trading.
Although he initially performed poorly, Cameron felt he needed a larger account. Fortunately, he got the capital he needed from his late father’s estate, and with some assistance from a friend, Ross Cameron became a successful day trader. With a solid strategy, Cameron has secured substantial profit margins when trading stocks.
