How do you gain credibility when you're new?

[Matthew Paetz]

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.
