Joe's blog post:

My name is Joe West, I am 22. I live in Owen Sound, Ontario. While growing up in a farming community, i had learned that helping others is the only way a person can truly help themselves. It is because of that, I believe that I want to be your Young & Free Ontario spokesman.

How can someone ask the correct questions to today's youth if they don't know what their talking about? I have always had an interest in money and the laws the govern it. That it why I have already completed my extensive Stock Market Technical Analysis course through the Tigerent Learning and on May 28 I will be writing my final Canadian Securities Course which will make me a fully licensed Mutual Fund Dealer. This will allow me to start my training as a Financial Planner. I am comfortable standing in-front of a group of people as I have been playing my violin in smokey bar rooms and community centers since I was 8 years old.

I am not an active blogger and I am only actively involved in a few online social networking sites. But if I can figure out how to use complex financial instruments such a derivatives, blogging and other forms of online socializing shouldn't be a problem to learn.

My financial IQ is just beginning and I would like to share my successes, failures and learning experiences with anyone who is willing to listen.

Thank you and vote of me, Joe West.
