I like books because they take you to a different world, a different age, take you on adventures, give you fear, suspense, joy and experiences that you might never be able to witness in real life...
Stock market trading is like mountain climbing... adventurous. It gets your pulses racing, adrenaline racing through your body... you experience fear, joy... different emotions... That is why I like it.
I am also fascinated by technology, computers, mobile phones. Mostly for their fun aspect.
Cheers!
