Lol you're saying this while there's similar opportunities right now, probably even on this board if you choose wisely. But you'll probably say the same thing in another 10 years...if I put 1000 in that internet funny money I didn't think twice about, I'd have so much money right now! Hmmm

By realising that you're being fooled by survivor's bias. 10 years ago there was plenty of dogshit being shilled very heavily, plenty of perfectly sensible companies which still shit the bed, etc. I remember Glencore being pushed as a big stock to buy over a decade ago, but if you bought in you'd still be down. Or even in crypto I remember all the dark coin, garlic coin, etc that was pushed alongside bitcoin and ended up going nowhere.

Survivorship bias. Netflix is only an obvious buy in hindsight, you could have picked from a dozen companies back then doing the same thing which are now worth zero. I used 2 Netflix competitors called playselect and lovefilm, back in like 2005.

Yeah, and if you're too retarded to try and pick stocks you can just put a percentage of your portfolio into a high risk fund. Only issue with that is that most professional traders are just as retarded at picking winners as a /biz autist. Probably worse actually, despite it being their fulltime occupation.

My thoughts have always been that it makes most sense to just invest and hold in companies you actually believe in on a personal level, rather than try to back horses.

Use a volume scanner. If something has a high relative volume its usually because of a catalyst or pending catalyst that insiders leaked. I watched LGVW hit the volume scanner in the premarket, saw the news was related to a merger with a Bill Gates backed company that had 60%+ CAGR and a revolutionary product, so I added warrants and made 100% that day. The price dropped after I had sold into strength, and then later I saw Cathie Wood of Ark Investments was starting to load it for her funds so I tripled down and it went up another 120% Where I sold 3/4s and now have a guranteed profit and a free warrant posistion. It takes time to acquire the skills and lots of failure.

Good catalyst + volume + good valuation or growth = $$$ + knowing how to read technicals for the entries and exits help.

[Anonymous No.25163376]

>>25162726
Most pro traders do suck. I have many companies I like that I have long posititions in but also trade a portion. My viewpoint is that just because a company is good doesnt mean the valuation is good. AAPL is a good company whether the stocks at $25 $130 or $5000 a share. At $25 its cheap at $5000 wayyy overpriced.. Which is why I prefer swing trading . Get in when its low and bail when it overextends.

Also Stocktwits is great for sourcing Info. Dont waste time "cheerleading" in individual rooms and only follow good established traders with a track record of success. If you get caught up in the pump and dump, cheerleading side of things then the site is a dumpster fire. But the good traders will consistently post about catalyst, earnings reports, technical breakouts that are setting up, high volume, etc... Remember, volume comes before large price movements. You have to be able to bulldoze through resistances and dissuade people from selling or shorting by whipping out your giant volume and having them fuck off out of the way.

I was literally talking about this with my parents yesterday. When I first Netflix pop up on my PS3 around 2009, I thought it was the most legendary shit ever. The fact that I could watch any episode of Spongebob on demand was unheard of and ground breaking. If I had any sort of investment knowledge whatsoever, I know I would have invested. Unfortunately I was a kid with more interest in watching spongebob then making money.

Investing is no more exciting than saving money because that is basically what you are doing. Like many things return is proportional to effort and how much effort it takes personally will come down to if you are interested in it and enjoy it. Don't try to get rich quick and don't forget you are only saving money, you've got to have the money in the first place to invest you aren't going to make it appear out of nothing.

What I do is I spend most of my time reading and researching and I put the pretty small amount of money I have available to invest into the market. I often kick myself for not going all in on that one prospect that in hindsight is up 10,000%, but in reality my strategy uses diversification to bring some measure of risk management. While some of my investments are up ridiculous amounts others are breaking even or slightly down.

The issue with having a diversified portfolio is it is quite a lot of work deciding if something is worth holding still or if now is the time to move the money into something which is going to be a better performer. I've kicked myself many times for not selling a stock that later dumped, selling a stock that never took off only to watch it take off a few months later etc.

You can't win them all. They can't all be massive winners. As long as you are getting better returns than you would elsewhere then you are winning.

It'd be nice to get rich quick though. I feel that is what sustains a lot of crypto. Lots of people looking for the next parabolic moon mission to 'make it'.

Thing is man. Ultimately crypto is a pump and dump game. Even on a great project you should be taking profits and accumulating along the way if you want to make it.

Personally I don't enjoy trading that much. I don't like the 24/7 nature of crypto. I like that markets shut and there are holidays.

Paladin energy went from $0.01 to $10+ during the last uranium bull market. The poorest performing uranium miners went 20x. In the 60's when silver doubled, the average silver penny stock went up 150x. I can name several miners which have
gone up over 20x in the last 12 months alone. My greatland gold has performed better than any of my crypto. Understandingg the commodities supercycles is the difference between the average nobody and the investing elite.

ETrade has one that I use. I scan for high relative volume and or social activity on stocktwits (premarket mainly)
You can also use some free tools like Finviz which is a must use site. They post daily movers, gap downs, gap ups, technical breakouts that are setting up, insider trades etc.. From there its up to you to figure out how to profit from it and whether you want to take the trade.
Trade-Ideas is probably the best scanner but cost like 200 a month
Blackbox Stocks is 80 and theyre solid too and they have darkpool and options flow info.
