 I like to write down the check list to purchase stocks:

1. First, consider to purchase total US market index ETF - VTI
2. Next, consider to purchase US 500 index ETF - VOO
3. Third, consider to purchase NASDAQ 100 index - VGT
4. Consider to purchase Google, MSFT, Amazon or Apple stocks first
5. Consider to purchase SOXX - semiconductor ETF
6. Consider to purchase individual stocks - like Apple stock, MSFT stock, Google stock 
7. Consider to purchase SP 500 index stocks - Buy dip, stop loss etc. 

Do not take risk to buy small capital stock, and also avoid gambling. 

1. Purchased GRAY stock, out-of-business
2. Purchase SABR
3. Purchase other stocks like ATNX, and all other biotech stocks - 

Read books 

1. Fooled by randomness - 
2. How do I lose million dollars in stock market? 
3. Black Swan

It takes time for me to learn how to be a good trader. I started to figure out that I should learn how to use tradingview.com after 5 years from 2020. I need to use the best trading platform no matter what skill level I am as a trader. 

I also need to find ways to learn technical analysis as a trader.
