Hello stockworld!!

Hi there,
I'm Chris, 22 years, from the Netherlands and I'm a student in Information, Communication Technology.
I'm in my last year and while I write this message I'm doing an internship in Australia to finish my last years' semester.
Also here in Australia I was introduced to financial literacy, by the books of Rich Dad, and found it very interesting.
So I made a plan for myself how to achieve my wealth... I have figured out, because I'm a "poor" student, to begin with investing in stock and than move to owning a business and as last phase investing in real estates...

I think that investing in stocks would be easier for me to begin with and I think it takes relatively less money to invest in than businesses and real estates, but I could be wrong...

Anyway I will stop my message here before I take all your space

Ohw by the way, when I wanted to enter my first and my full last name in the inputfield, but I couldn't type it in .... my name is too long

Till we meet again..,
Chris a.k.a. Pinda

I got my start the same way, go Kiyosaki. How many of his books have you read?

Well, glad to have you on board Pinda! I look forward to seeing you around the community and wish you the best of fortunes on your newest investing ventures. Talk to you soon.

Hi Chris glad to have you here from down under. Must be getting to be fall there now. I had a few friends over the years from there.
I like the way your thinking about gathering wealth. You have a plan and that is miles ahead of many who are young. I hope you enjoy this community as much as I have. Good luck,
Joe

Hi guys,
Nice to meet you.

Quote:

Well you finally meet your match, sort of.... my last name is:
'Kool van Langenberghe'

Quote:
My last name is Reinkensmeyer
Looks like a German name...

Well my course is actually very broad, software and hardware... a bit programming in Java, PHP, BASIC and HTML (the main programming languages), classes in administering and managing Windows computers, projects, etc... all of it very basic because it's so broad.

Quote:

I have read Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrants and I have bought Guide To Investing, but haven't read it yet. Because I want to start with stocks first I bought the book How To Make Money In Stock from William J. O'Neil, which I'm reading now, and after that I'll read the Guide To Investing.

It sounds like a weird order, but I think that works better for me because the Guide To Investing has a broad subject and I want to focus myself first on the stocks.

I'm going back to Holland in July and when I'm back I'm going to take action to invest in stocks. Do you have any Dutch members by the way?

It's already fall here , in Australia fall begins on the 1st of March.

Well thank you, I had always an idea of how to be and get wealthy but I never knew how I could achieve it. But now I do!


Thanks guys for welcoming me I think I am going to enjoy it here and while I'm enjoying I'm going to learn a lot

Talk to you soon,

Christopher Kool van Langenberghe (My full first name and full last name)

Not sure on Blain's last name, but I know that mine, "Zimmer" is. I think that is means "room" in German actually, so that is kind of wierd.

I must admit, your full name is a mouth-full, I am glad you picked "Pinda" so I don't have type out "Christopher Kool van Langenberghe" all the time, lol.

See you around,

-Mark

Well Chris Welcome again,
Joe

Are those your middle names?
I have 2 middle names

And if I got into trouble they just called me Chris , when they would call me at my full name, including my middle names, it would be the end of the day already .

Anyways thanks again,

Chris
