How do you gain credibility when you're new?
I am curious as to what you all think. I am assuming I am not the only newbie interested in hearing everyone's opinion on gaining credibility.
I am fairly new to investing, and I am 25yrs old. I spend a lot of time with many other investors on a regular basis, and I want to know what some of the best ways are to gain respect among seasoned investors.

Want credibility and a stellar reputation? Think in terms of one word: INTEGRITY
Becoming known as someone who can be taken at his words begins today. Experience, investment savvy, and the like will come with time. Integrity is something you can have right now. A bad reputation will stick with you forever, so don't get one.
