PLUG +$10 AH.
Of course.... A couple of them have been mentioned here and the brother Chris Sain, if you dont follow him do so....
So right now I already have, I have a couple of others that give me some dividends - This year I got over 2.5k in dividend gains. Not just these 3 I have others can hit me up I can share some others. My portfolio is actually to large but when I first got in I was all over lol.
J P Morgan - 2.86 yield
T - -7.07 yield
VIG - 1.65
My plan is to pick up
Main - 7.85 - Its on $30 something a share (They pay a monthly dividend!) So on the pull backs gonna grab shares and see how it builds up. If I can get to enough where I can get it a share a month worth of pay outs this one will go crazy. Which I think is going to be about $5.5k-6K of the stock will get me 12 shares of it for free every year.
O - 4.68 Im not sold on it yet but again a monthly dividend...
What I realize is though having SOLID stocks you really cant go wrong those smaller dividends add up when you own couple hundred shares of a product. I mean I got close to 3k in a year and I didn't have an income strategy
I'm not a professional, and I'm learning like everyone else. But I feel confident in saying this: Going all in is the quickest way to blow your account to smithereens. DON'T DO THAT!
Look at the total amount that your willing to invest; divide that up, then do small calculated plays. Your job is to survive for the long haul and grow your money while keeping your losses to a minimum. Learn as much as you can; make small trades, and the confidence will come.
Practice DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging), and your account will start growing.
There's some pretty knowledgeable Brothers on BGOL. You'll learn a lot just by dropping in here and reading the responses. Ask questions if you don't know something. Someone in here should be able to answer it.
I asked that because Chris Sain said if you only have $2000 or less, to add it all to one play and wait for it to double.
If you are savvy, then you may be able to get away with something like that. But, I wouldn't do it. When it comes to the stock market, $2,000 ain't shit. Billions of dollars run through the market every second. It'll snatch that $2000 and forget it even took it.
Time is on your side. The markets will be there. Learn to use the tools to survive. You'll thank us later, and so will your bank account.
I’ll share my 2 cents. I was able to triple my small account last year and I am close to doubling it already by next week. While one or two plays or stocks can drive the bulk of that jump, I found 2 things drove my growth and that was a consistent trading strategy that was successful for me and proper risk management. By doing those two I was able to track the success of my trading plan and get a good feel of what moves worked for me and which ones didn’t and why. Then I adjusted while always being mindful of not overextending myself.
Then when I find that move that looks like it should be a home run and falls within my plan and risk management parameters I go all in with no hesitation and if I feel really good I may push the limits a bit. I did that with $AAPL and $NIO on more than a few occasions and they have been two of my biggest moneymakers. However, even when I go in I hedge at different strikes and different timeframes to manage my risk. Even though $AAPL and $NIO played a bigger role I still had lot of solid wins that helped along the way.
Its easy to start just by taking $100, opening a free account, and buying a few stocks to get your feet wet. But at the same time there isn't really an all-encompassing way to absorb all you need to know.
Are you investing at all yet or are you trying to step up to trading?
I would be willing to pay also.
@Madrox already post a starting point for beginners Click here!
I'm saving and investing but don't really know what I am doing. Haven't lost money with long term investing with ETFs and Index funds.
Thanks alot!
Sian has CCL as a recovery stock. He suggested buying < $20 and riding it up.
The funny thing about these plays, if ppl bought them at the 52-week low or close to the 52-week low they would be up 200% now.
Oh ok. In my opinion, you're starting the best way possible. I'm no expert myself but I think it's best to start INVESTING long term first and then dip your toe in other things like trading and options.
Investing
- Starting with a small amount of [or whatever] money you have and making regular deposits over time (Dollar Cost Averaging). Preferably set and forget in ETF(s) or Index Fund(s) with low fees. Or in solid companies with proven growth, so that your money is growing as those companies grow.
- Time is your friend here. The longer your money is in the market the more it can grow. Savings account on steroids and blow.
Which ETFs/Index funds are you workin with right now?
Trading
After you have a better understanding of how the market works and how prices fluctuate and only using money that you can afford to lose, try your hand at swing trading (holding for a few days/weeks/ sometimes months?) or options trading. In both instances, you want try this with companies that you have been watching, or at least did SOME research on. You should have conviction in the company or product overall, or feel like you have proper grasp of the price direction.
I've learned a lot, but still feel like I have only scratched the surface as far as my journey. There is a lot of good information and you can learn a lot from this thread and @Tito_Jackson 's thread linked here. He started a simple, sample portfolio last year around this time, urged folks to do the same and actually updated the results the other day. I would honestly start at the very beginning of these. Even though they go far back, I think reading about our ACTUAL EXPERIENCES would be invaluable. Also, there are no stupid questions if you have more.
right like when the pandemic started they dropped to around 7 to 9 bucks a share
Roblox has changed its mind. The gaming platform is going public, but not through a traditional initial public offering. Instead, it is using a direct listing to sell class A shares.
Roblox said late Wednesday that it had not determined how many Class A shares it would offer. It also didn't disclose when the offering would come but that it planned to commence the direct listing following completion of the Securities and Exchange Commission review process.
In a separate statement, Roblox also announced that it had raised $520 million in a Series H round led by Altimeter Capital and Dragoneer Investment Group . The funding values Roblox at about $29.5 billion , a statement said.
"While once viewed as a gaming platform, Roblox has emerged as a definitive global community connecting millions of people through communication, entertainment and commerce," Brad Gerstner , CEO of Altimeter said in the statement. "And as the world moves toward a hybrid future -- where online and offline community and learning co-exist, we are proud to back a values-driven business that takes seriously its obligation to build an inclusive, creative, and positive community."
Founded in 2004, Roblox hosts child-friendly games focused on digital characters resembling Lego blocks. The company's decision to use a direct listing comes just months since it filed to go public in November via a traditional IPO. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan were among the underwriters of the offering, which was expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange . Roblox was expected to launch the IPO in December but chose to delay.
In December, the SEC approved a rule change from the NYSE that allows direct floor listings. Companies that use direct floor listings sell new shares and raise fresh capital in a single large transaction directly on the exchange without underwriters. This is different from traditional IPOs, where companies sell shares to investors the night before the IPO. The pricing of direct listings is also set by the orders received by the exchange. In a traditional IPO, the underwriters set the price. Direct listings aim to level the playing field for investors and give companies another path to going public.
Roblox would be the fifth company to go public using a direct listing. Palantir Technologies (PLTR), Asana (ASAN), Slack Technologies (WORK), and Spotify Technology (SPOT) all used a direct listing when they made their public equity markets debut.

VGT, VTSAX & TSLA are where I am heaviest.
A good mix of tech, pure growth and total market. I think you're good for now, but may want to think about adding an international fund eventually like VSUX or VWO to get some exposure overseas. China's market, for example, is on schedule to outpace the US as the largest economy in the coming years.
Take a look at some companies like Alibaba (although they are going through some shit rn), Tencent, Nio... JD.. just to get an idea of what the environment is like.
real life experience is the only ideal course and teacher for beginners
i am so pissed. i lost 90k on that motherfucker last year.FCEL is at a new high today.
