With aspirations to become a professional investor, I took up the offer and began to intern at Zolio. Although I am currently down on my portfolio after being up 1% for more than 3 weeks, I have learned a lot about investments. I am beginning to learn how to recognize a potential plummet from a stock as well as beginning to learn how to recognize a potential spike in a stock.
The most useful portion of the platform so far is that you can type in a company’s name, which will automatically queue up the ticker. While this may seem miniscule, this saves valuable time spent trying to find a company’s ticker; time that could be spent taking a long position on that stock. Overall, although I am still beginning to formulate my trading strategy, all of the case studies and learning materials provided by Zolio have been extremely beneficial to improving my knowledge of the financial markets. In these next few weeks, I will review all of the Zolio learning materials to further my knowledge on financial models.
