<p>Hello! As the title suggests, I am wondering if I should put stocks down as an EC activity on the Common App. I spend around an hour a day researching companies and planning trades, and I did not know if this would be considered a good EC or even an EC at all. If anyone could share their opinion it would be much appreciated! </p>
<p>I’m assuming you could put it down as work experience.</p>
<p>I don’t think it is work experience if you are doing it on your own (perhaps unless you are investing real money). I’d really say it is a hobby not an EC.</p>
