I’m 16 and got into investing a few years ago through a stock market simulation. Back then I wasn’t super serious about it, but over time I genuinely became interested in researching companies, markets, and long-term investing. The issue is that my dad still sees me as someone who just goes off instinct or hype, even though I really try not to.

One example was Wheaton Precious Metals. I bought it in the simulation(at $56.23) , saw strong potential, and told my dad about it. He asked me for deeper research and evidence, and honestly at the time I struggled to communicate my reasoning well enough. He ended up not investing, and since then the stock has grown a lot.(Now 1$29.49) There have also been multiple other stocks I predicted would rise that ended up doing well.

. I just want him to understand that I really care about this and that I’m trying to learn seriously instead of gambling or following trends blindly. I also have an income stream so it'd be my money that ill be managing in my portfolio

So basically i keep seeing everyone who's getting rejected, and they have insane shit and so i know im fried. imma apply to a shit tonna reaches cuz why not (im not getting in). anyways i used chatgpt to make this profile.
