What is a TRUM? Where does it come from? Is this a financial word?
My interests are technology, sports and stocks, not necessarily in that order. In recent years, my sports interest has gotten me into fantasy sports. I've played in leagues for baseball, basketball, football, NCAA basketball tourney. Fantasy sports allows you the chance to behave and experience the life of being a Real General Manager. My love of numbers and statistics made playing these games fun on 2 accounts. Bringing a greater understanding of the game and the team contributions, it also lets you play with statistics to maximize your team strengths and understand its weaknesses.
While playing fantasy sports, I came to reading many sports sites, blogs, etc. Anything to get an advantage and win. Well, what I found was a site called talentedmrroto.com. Matthew Berry is the creater and writer on the site. In the last year, he sold his site to ESPN and now, many folks can read him and watch him on ESPN.
Life comes in phases. I can remember living in sports TV and recording player stats more than 25 years ago. After getting married, my time for sports declined and my responsibilities rose. My interest had shifted to stocks in the mid-90s. Of course, with the Great Decline from mid-2000 in the markets, my interest in stocks waned and the last 3 years, my interest in fantasy sports rose.
That's what gets me to TRUM. It's Berry's creation and stands for "Thoughts, Ramblings, Useless information and Musings". He writes about personal things and sports. He has other articles like Love/Hate, where he makes predictions for the week. There are many excellent fantasy sports writers.
I did well in fantasy sports and won championships in probably 70% of the leagues I played in. So, I thought about spending those hours a day/night on statistics and readings on stocks vs. on sports. If I could do it well, then it would help me make money.
Of course, in the game of stocks that bad pick in the draft could tank your financial life and savings, if it turns out like Countrywide Financial. Many books and articles will recommend that you paper trade. Would a real-life "Fantasy Stocks" game be fun and also teach the value of investing?
I think it might. Kids in school are learning more at an earlier age. One of those things is to stock trade as early as Junior High in the classroom. This is something I will also write about in another blog called Fantasy Stock.
