The Certification for Securities Specialist Course officially started on Tuesday, March 1, 2011 and I was officially kind of disoriented. To find myself studying again and leafing thru pages of course materials seemed to me like an unusual dream sequence in "Inception". I felt like pinching myself to wake up but then again this is my new reality, my here and now, for me to become a full-fledge stock trader and investor. This is my choice. There is no escaping it.
