do you dabble a little? a lot?
what platform do you use?
big wins? anything to look out for for the rest of us?
There is a consistent PT thread chain where these guys are making out pretty well playing some MJ stocks and other low price stocks
i currently have like 2k in bluechips that wont go anywhere any time soon
want to start playing the cheap stocks on a daily/weekly basis

i do not cept 401k. lot of guys in my office do. i listen to them sometimes. they are big on bit coin and other crypto currency currently
consider equity options if you want a big score but must remember you got to be both right and timely or it expires
guys i traded for in the 90s started think or swim.. thats a good platform for sure. . price waterhouse bought them for 600 million i think
could of got in on ground floor of that.
be retired now.. oh well

I put a fair amount into mutual funds in a retirement account. I have also been putting $25 a month into a fairly large energy company for about 15 years and that shit builds up before you know it. I don't really do anything through a broker or on-line myself.

We don't go buying and dumping stocks on our own, but we have a few mutual funds that my hubby's friend picked for him (he's an investment banker with Key Bank I think). Plus, Mike gets stock from his company, which has been doing well. RPM stock is good! Buy!

I'd be rich if I had the balls to buy Chipotle when it was 47 bucks a share. Facebook I got spooked on too. It opened at 27 a share and went down to 19. Im sure id of spooked and sold but I like to think I'd still be holding it at 120 something or whatever its at now.

If it's at 120 it will probably split soon.

i really dont like dealing with the ups and downs myself.
i traded in the CBOT dow options pit.. that was enough.. pure capitalism
im just not that aggressive.
i trade futures and options all day and get some satisfaction squeezing ticks on order.
OPM-other peoples money

My dad does a lot. I'm not educated enough on most aspects of investing to be risking my own money outside of deciding allocation levels for various mutual funds. I don't really have the desire to spend the time educating myself on that stuff either. Maybe down the road.

it requires time/energy to find something before others do. and its not a win win which is what i like to plan. if outcome A happens good, if outcome B happens still happy.
losing money on stocks would irritate me more than the gain would create joy, at the level id trade at.
i dont like rocking the contentment boat.
id be more prone to trade commodities over stock anyway.. while not completely free, supply/demand is still a big driver.
the stock market is a game though hard to go wrong if you are trading the broad market trend in a diversified portfolio

I legit need to diversify my portfolio and don't have the slightest clue of how to start, yes talk to a financial advisor but Shits complicated it seems (not meeting with the person) im no financial advisor but the easiest way to diversify is a index fund. given you have it all in growth.. S+P is popular and broad.. Dow is much smaller basket of stocks and the Russel index has far more but if you want to break it up between growth, income or combination you are going to have to determine your risk.. how much you can lose and still make it worth while to be in the market. then you simply allocate say 40% to index fund, 20 to mixed income/growth and say 30 to income and 10 to cash fund(very small return if any) its a puzzle and timeframe to retirement is important factor when calculating risk there are a lot of other more advanced concepts but this is the basics. |
