How much $$ are you guys messing with all these stocks? Seems like you all mess with the same stuff. Not need to disclose if you don't want to. I'm just curious.

Like 30 or 40K into one or another. Sometimes 10-20k. I did over 100k in Tesla but that’s rare. So a quick 10 to 20% swing is big.

As an employee for 6 years now, I've amassed about 6500 shares of LRCX, so REALLY hoping for a rebound in the stock.
The others are much like Poisoned Apple. I have bought SOXL and USD all the way down so I have oversized positions in those, as well as sitting on like 70k of NVDA after today's drop.
Today I was down $46k. <shrugs>

I'm such a small fry. I couldn't imagine throwing 100K at stocks. That's literally my salary.

That’s my salary as well. My philosophy is that it’s not about what you make but about what you do with what you make.

I'm new to this. Can I ask how you got 100K to throw around? I feel weird asking that. If you don't want to answer I'll get it. Or If you want to PM me. I'm throwing around like $200 here and there. I just want to learn.

Years of saving, investing, side hustles, etc. don’t bet the farm on something you know nothing about. I’m doing a bit more “trading” than I am “investing” right now, but I’ve been doing it for a while and I’m pretty comfortable with it. when I started, I was investing in safe stuff long-term. Just pick a solid ETF and dump money in every single paycheck. Even if it’s $50 at a time. Something like QQQ, SPY, VGT, VOO. Then in a couple years after you have watched the market and am more comfortable you can start messing around with day trades if you wanted to. the statistics are not in your or my favor though. they say 80-90% of day traders end up losing money. I have been moving back to the more investing side lately, but when I see a deal pop up, I love to throw some money down when there’s a low risk chance of making a quick return.
If you want to know more just PM me. I love talking finances.

Same, just save, save and save. I made really good money when I was working.
Securing gains is key. Most people watch an investment rise, get greedy, don't sell them watch it fall while telling themselves "it will come back"
Compound interest is your friend when it works on your favor. $200 Securing gains twice a week for one year while reinvesting 100% comes to over a million.
What I do is find a few volatile stocks that I like, I buy on red days then set sell limits on the tax lot for 8%, 10%, 15% and occasionally leave a few shares for a crazy run. This has been my strategy with everything I have posted here.
Don't chase green candles, always sell on news, don't marry a stock and don't pile everything into one company or sector.
Zero $$.
This is my "play" account. I buy a few shares, about $500.00 a month, that is my default investment, sometimes more if I am feeling a little more flush. I will buy when a stock drops more than 2% depending on the price of the stock. I don't sell a lot, never have but occasionally will get out of a stock if it is not doing as I had expected. I am a fairly new investor so I don't have a lot of money in the market compared to the ballers here. I have a financial advisor for my retirement accounts that I just monitor and he seems to be doing fairly well on his advice
TSLA making moves again.
We have 4 accounts. 3 were 401’s. The big one is a joint account we started a couple years ago.
The only thing I really look out every week is my annuity fund which I got to show somebody a spreadsheet I've had to have the index funds spread out so I can start moving it around more
My sell sign is usually when I feel the need to talk about one running lol.
Like DG...I'm gonna go ahead and set a SL tmr...even though I see that big gap to fill and the longer time frames look absolutely gorgeous

I am throwing 50 bucks a week in my account and buying what's called stock slices. I will pick a couple of companies I want to invest in and then go from there. Today sucked but overall I am doing pretty good for being a novice at this. I haven't pulled any profits because I want to build my investments up and get the dividends which turns into more stocks for me.
Part of it is making as much money as you can, and the other half is investing as much money as you can. Over time it starts adding up and suddenly it takes off and grows (a lot) faster than you can contribute to it. Direct Deposit into an account specifically for investing is the bare minimum. Company 401k's a golden, especially if they match at all.
If you're a noob, invest just about everything in the S&P 500. My dad just passed away a couple months ago and I was surprised at how much his IRA had grown, with every bit of it in the S&P 500.
I think now is a good time. I just bought more at $16.80
Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine 10 years ago and haven't been the same since.
