    Tell Me I'm Wrong - Crypto Simplicity

    HOT! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    This is the stupidest thing I have seen... unfortunately, I have seen it these days more often as people who never learned investing, nor trading jumped into speculation now counting their future-to-be profits ending up losing it all. Bitcoin is the most speculative, volatile chimera out there...

    Income Investing vs Capital Gains Investing

    INVESTING 
    This is a matter of preference for each individual. I prefer income over capital growth, but also seek the growth of the capital but it is a secondary goal. Thus I look for stocks that 1) provide income, 2) grow that income regularly, 3) grow capital. My reasoning is that the income can be...

    Yes, I agree that this kind of investing is a slow line. But, honestly, is making a business a fast line? How many business owners started their business and became millionaires in a year? Not many. Even Zuck was working on his Facebook spy program for years before he went public. Jeff Bezos...

    Another aspect people do not realize when investing in dividend growth stocks is that they tend to grow at the same rate as their dividend growth. If a dividend company grows its dividend, let's say, 3% per year, expect, that the stock will also grow at least 3% a year. However, here I am...

    There are misconceptions and misunderstandings about the dividends I have seen in the past from people. Many investors do not want to buy dividend stocks and prefer growth stocks because they consider a 3% yield and sacrificing the stock growth not enough to bother to invest in these stocks...

    I understand what you are saying. I had the same experience in the past. But I was not trading stocks, only options and I was trading options using SPX as underlying. So I was making money but I was also losing them as fast as I made them (sometimes faster). But I learned a lesson on how to do...

    Should my Parents Invest in my Cousin's Business Idea?

    Question about stock market business idea

    IDEA INVESTING 
    That's hard to say. I do not have that experience to say. There are algos there but they are mostly programmed for certain events only like FED meetings, and HFT trading. You might be able to program an algo against the broad market, for example SPX and trade just that one ticker. In fact, I...

    IDEA INVESTING 
    I think you can use it to a certain extent, but I think you will never be able to grasp the entire craziness of humans participating in the stock market. But, if you know how to program algos I would like to work with you. I believe it can help you to at least spot certain patterns and react to...

    Question about stock market business idea

    IDEA INVESTING 
    The stock market is mostly about human psychology and behavior. To a certain level, you can spot certain patterns in human behavior and be able to program reactions to those patterns but in my opinion, unless you teach AI to understand human psychology you won't be able to achieve any better...

    January 2021 is over and despite the craziness in the markets, it started well. Jump in volatility and brokers raising margin requirements made the trading somewhat expensive the last week of January but still manageable. Account #1 ($25,278.13) YTD: +22.56% Account #2 ($21,619.92) YTD: -2.69%...

    No, there is no reason for banning RH. They are not doing anything illegal. Well, unless the SEC changes the rules. But it is not RH doing anything, it is the members of the community at Reddit who got together and started pumping the market, particularly GME, and now BB and NOK. So, you cannot...

    You are absolutely correct. At some point, a company becomes so big and makes so much money that they have no more use for it. They did everything they could - reinvesting back into the business, acquisitions, buybacks, assets purchasing and yet they have so much cash that they decide to return...
