I started a new personal investing challenge at the first of May.  I started with $900 and a Zecco Trading account, and my goal was to grow that amount as rapidly as possible without sacrificing the importance of smart trading.  It’s one thing to grow your money at a fast pace, but it’s another to rush trades without a solid purpose.  Also, I use Zecco Trading as my online broker because they give you 10 free equity trades per month.  After that, they’re only $4.50.  Trade stocks for free on Zecco.com, the free trading community.

Although I won’t always have the time to publish each and every trade, I’ll highlight many of them for you to see.  Since May 1, 2008, I’m up a little over a thousand dollars, bringing my % Gain to approximately 122% over the last month.

Below is a screenshot of my account summary (I keep a spreadhseet in Apple Numbers to keep track of my performance).

Also, I’ve attached a screen shot of my trades.
