4Play: I have read WBs letters going way back. In my experience, listening to him and watching what he does are very different things. In one of his letters, he advises against trading options (derivatives) but if you read some of the earlier pages of the same letter, he states how he made millions from derivatives. People would need to make up their own minds. The flawed argument referred to in my initial post is that index funds are more profitable in the long term than individual stocks. I absolutely don't agree. I would rather own 5 companies than all the companies lumped up into one which is what the index is about . In your WB quote, you seem to miss out the 'average' part. One can do better than average in the markets if due diligence is applied before making your investments. This is very different from trading. Different strategies work out in the market, your returns would be the judge. Again, the market is not a get-rich-quick scheme which is the fastest way to lose money but with due diligence and patience, one can do better than the indexes. To the readers, please stick to what works for you but make sure to put in the work. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Thesilentone, I think 4play's advice is for newbies or anyone who has little knowledge in stocks to prevent stories that touch the heart. Its all about one of the general principles of investing ..." low risk low return, high risk high return" As for me, nothing stops me from investing in individual stocks as well as index stocks....its all about diversifying one's portfolio with respect to one's risk appetite. 5 Likes |

Virgin Galactic (SPCE) receiving pre-market attention. May gain up to 15% or more today because they signed a deal with NASA to develop a recruitment and training program for private astronauts seeking to visit the International Space Station. How far this news pushes the stock we can't tell but if it repeats its behaviour between October 2019 and Jan/Feb 2020, SPCE will make some people some near term bucks. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Us Stocks Pick Alert by YerYer: 5:36pm On Jun 22, 2020 |
Kennyking1234: At 17, you are already well above your peers. If you start now and stay the course, your money will grow by compounding and you will be financially independent before you know it. Start small and limit speculative trades. I would've suggested you avoid speculative trades completely but the truth is, at your age, even if you lose money in risky trades, you have your whole life ahead of you to make up for it. So what will I suggest? 90% of your portfolio should be in high growth stocks but in diversified sectors. The remaining 10% can be invested in micro caps, disruptor stocks(marijuana, biotech, 5G etc) and crypto. Read books about investing, so many people have made suggestions on this thread. Visit investopedia, yahoo finance and cnbc. Keep conservative expectations, don't expect to get rich quick, this way you wouldn't be so disappointed if you lose money. At your age, I was a complete game freak, but I have no complaints, I used to make high scores and thrash my friends, you will need to have the same passion for investing in stocks. You will need to live and breathe this stuff. When you have a crazy impulsive idea, first test it out on a demo account and learn from the experience. I hope one day you look back to where your journey started and smile at your investment portfolio. Good luck. 25 Likes 5 Shares |

American Airlines is currently planning to increase their supply of shares with an additional $1.5b. This is shares dilution and this increase in supply has a huge tendency to reduce their share price. Coupled with their negative cash flow since 2018, we advise staying off airline stocks for now, specifically AAL. Note: This may not apply long term players 3 Likes |

sharpman1: Basically when the market was spooked last week with reports of increasing corona virus cases in some states, I had the hunch we may be having a 2nd wave or a continuation of the 1st wave so I bought call options in ETSY, ZM, APT, PTON, LVGO, EBAY and SLV. In a nut shell, If the stock goes up, the options trade goes up incrementally. They must stay above their strike price before expiration, if they sell off, I can lose 100% of the money I spent buying those call options. Currently up about $10k from these trades alone. 1 Like |

It is good you know the needs to invest at your early age. But i will advise to focus more on your education in school now rather than going into full time trading. At your stage, it will be difficult to combine schooling and making money together. And its good u plan entrying university and finish with good grades However, if you have little money that you don't need now, rather than its been in the bank with little yield, i will advice you can put quote author=YerYer post=90954879] At 17, you are already well above your peers.

When you start working fully, you can now think of stock trading and investment.

1kinggy: This is what i started doing after making money for my broker when i bought and sold Chipotle. It has been working for me in Nigerian stocks...dividend investing..very sweet... Now in US stocks i have decided to have SIX stocks that pay quarterly dividend. I will be receiving dividend EVERY MONTH FROM TWO STOCKS[ these stocks pay quarterly not monthly] I decided to do only six stocks because i believe that CONCENTRATION breeds wealth, more so when money for investing is not much. However, i have keyed in to a few stocks for raising funds like FASTLY,etc. I beleive, not hoping, i believe it will work out. 3 Likes |

@oakpearl @Yeryer How do you see SPOT. Been watching the stock for a while now. I feel it's currently overbought and may dip soon, but it would make for a very good buy. I feel it's a potential AMZN. What are your thoughts? |
