Trading while in college :)

Hello,
Was just wondering if anyone out there traded while they were in collage, and any stories they might have of those days.

I certainly did, but I was very much still in learning mode. The only specifically memorable trade was getting long NIKKEI put warrants (this was early 90s) near the start of Japan's be market decline (think of it like a short ETF). I bought at about $5 and sold at about $9, which seemed really great at the time. Unfortunately, I missed the bulk of the trend as they eventually went to about $25. :-(
