Before you buy anything, make a brokerage account and read investopedia articles and/or the books in the OP list. If you don't have a broker, you can't buy stocks and if you blindly buy things without understanding how the stock market works or doing any research on the individual stocks you're buying, you will lose money and it will be entirely your fault.
To what extent am I being memed? I just want to understand what I am getting into here. So, it would be above average to make say, 10 dollars profit off 1000 in a month?

Most people get an average of 4% yeild from dividends annually.
You can surpass this if you are good at reading charts and pick stocks that are at a low with good potential for upward movement, but that is where skill comes into play and timing the market can be risky.
My dividend portfolio is comprised of mostly REITs (real estate investment trusts) that routinely give large dividend payments. I can get between 8-10% of my investment back in dividends using this method, but it is much more risky and can wipe your starting capital if a major collapse were to happen in the real estate markets.
I'd look into dividend growth investing and dividend aristocrats if you want a proven safe method to grow your portfolio over a long period of time with compounding interest.
Daniel James
Ah, I see. I should have been more clear. I was more referring to day trading. I am familiar with REITs, stocks that pay dividends, etc.
Carter Kelly
Ahh, well for day trading I've heard that you should really only do it if you have an account over 5k due to the commission costs. There is also the PDT rule if you are in the states to think about.
I dont see why you couldn't earn that much and more if you are following trends and taking profits when you can. I have always wanted to get into day trading but my accounts are too small currently.
Brody Cook
I've done a little paper trading while I wait for Robinhood to link to my account. Nothing crazy. Would you say then if I dont end out the month at a 10% profit, my strategy is shit, and/or I got dreadfully unlucky? I know win percentage matters too. I just want some metric to rule myself against.
Levi Parker
is the vanguard world dividends ETF a good idea? i am a poorfag and could throw like 2000€ into it.
this one: >anguard FTSE All-World High Dividend Yield UCITS ETF
John Gomez
Posting portfolio again. Anyone else wanna post theirs?
>I kinda hate em because they are everything wrong with current economy How's that? Giving out subprime loans? I don't know too much about finance, sorry. Thanks for the link.
In a way. If you don't know much about finance there's too much to explain since I read 8-Ks and 10-Ks of companies I own every time I go through ORC I'm unironically disheartened by their state of money making. And btw I wouldn't be sure they won't cut dividends few quarters from now that's why I'm saying their yield is potentially 9-12%. I like infrastructures, REITs and resources much more but I trust my gut and my gut says I should hold bit of orc. One on my most wanted list is CORR. I bailed on them month or two ago when they sold terminal but I'm still following closely waiting for reentry. Check it out.
Joshua Thompson
Buy SQQQ right now and hold for a few weeks?
Logan Howard
How about SDS?
William Hall
Me personally I'm currently full retard mode in metals, losing bit of money for now but that should be ok month or two from now.
It's highly speculative. They are a mining development company trying to get a copper mine permitted in Alaska. If a partner or buyout happens the stock could hit 3 dollars. If they get hard stopped it could go to the .20s or even delist.
It swings on news though so really I just need it to hit 1 dollar and judging by momentum I'll probably bail at that point.

This red group is able to produce dividends of about 12% and third of them are monthly payers. I don't like divvy ETFs but you picked one of best choices if you don't want to manage your dividend payers personally.
Is oil going parabolic? think im going long at open.
Joshua James
Depends on your goals my friend.
High yeild is okay if you are just getting into stocks and want a nice "savings account" style of investing that gives decent yeild. If you want a more retirement friendly long term stock I'd go for one of their growth or aristocrat funds
Brody Clark
Daily reminder WTI OIL obeys same market makers who move American indexes
What's the game plan for today? Currently in the process of imploding my portfolio, but I did collect $0.41 in dividends which is nice.
Daniel Gray
I think I should work on SL instead. Im taking profits but I could jump out at -4% instead I'm -25 already. I'm taking profits, I'm not taking losses till it's too late. Wonder how long can market be pricing in same shit.
Ryder Jenkins
I have no fucking idea. Friday is literally free money day in 2019. I was scalping whole day today and if not fucking last trade I'd be out of here sitting on sidelines. Guess not we need to turn this ship around somehow. How's volatility vs put doing btw? Did you manage to get higher return prior to close ?
I recon we're pricing in 0 rate hikes for next year right now.
Thomas Cruz
nah i got greedy and didn't close, now i am kill
Blake Flores
VZ better give good gains today after dropping 3% in one fucking day. If my calls aren’t green today I’m gonna lose everything.
Nathan Stewart
everything is gonna be up on the open where we go from there, though... I feel like the market will be up today.
what VZ price do you need to hold even? how much are you gonna lose if it's flat?
Andrew Perez
Stoch is implying this market wants higher and technically we broke gay line so it should go parabolic but I know too much about economy to brainlessly charge with bulls and make money so let's hope for reverse even though everything looks like long for now.
Yep. Looks like it. Yield reversed on 3M - 10Y too. This is just circus in vacuum.
I’m up 10% as it stands right now. They’re $59 calls for 4/5. I think if it drops down to around 58.9x or lower I’m FUCKED. I’m gonna lose my FUCKING house.
Justin Sullivan
Serves you right for trading options
Nicholas Roberts
with those stakes are you gonna sell for profit or ride into the sunset? 4/5 is a whole week away
Lincoln Sanchez
I’m just larping you fucking dweeb Honestly not sure, let’s see what happens when market opens
Xavier Nguyen
>I know too much about economy to brainlessly charge with bulls and make money so let's hope for reverse even though everything looks like long for now. >let's hope >even though [insert real circumstances] I don't want to be mean, and believe me ive been stuck in this line of thought many times, but this isn't just hope, its cope.
>inb4 oil spike was a p&d to squeeze bears before the real downturn starts
Brody Sanders
Fuck this rigged market
Landon Gray
>Emphasizing "fucking" in part of the sentence. You have to go back.

THIS

Gavin Young

Luke Ramirez
When can we expect news how the trade deal negotiations with China went?
Lincoln Parker
Obsessed
Asher Gomez
omg it's still going up...
Ethan Edwards
Bears literally SEETHING right now
Jack Cox
I don't consider myself a full bear but honestly I love easy green days where the VIX drops like a rock then I can plan my next short move. I dislike the intermediate 'is it gonna drop or is it gonna moon' days where VIX is already sort of high and puts aren't cheap
today is sunshine and rainbows if we start up
Daniel Thomas
Man I probably should have red a book on how to trade. If the average trader reads 2, that would make me a well below average trader.
Jack Mitchell
nigga u should have red a book period
Jose Gomez
It's hard. One bad day can wipe out 10 good days. Reinvesting with a larger bankroll from winnings is called pyramiding and it increases the volatility of your account exponentially. Remember that exponential gains means exponential losses. I'm trying to tell you to move slowly and take profit, the trader's downfall often comes after a big win.
is there any reason not to sell right away on the first big green candle of the day then buy back (for hopefully cheaper) at noon?
Camden Sanders
I'm saying
David Johnson
the dildo was overbought atleast
Logan Gray
I didnt sell pre market today so everything's gonna crash, sorry guys
Nathaniel Perez
Probably also worth mentioning that REIT dividends never become preferred so they always get taxed as income instead of capital gains.
Jaxon Cruz
try it and let us know how it goes
Eli Baker
Everything that isn't 'Merica is going to go down the toilet in the next decade. Watch some Peter Zeihan videos.
Josiah Adams
i've always wanted to do it, but never have the balls to actually do it, but next week i'm gonna test some radical (retarded) new trading strats and that's gonna be one of em
Parker Thompson
the problem you're going to run into is that the stock isn't going to open at 72, it's going to open at like 90.
Demographics and shale oil means America can pull up the ladder and let the rest of the world burn. Europe is going to have the same ratio of productive citizens to useless shitskin parasites as South Africa. Zeihan isn't perfect, though. He doesn't take into account that America is a puppet state of Israel and China is going to leave a few niggers alive in zoos when they hollow out Africa for its resources.
where's the growth to come from? every city I've been in is saturated with ride share. even if Ai comes along, why would that spark massive growth as the drivers are already paid like shit.
Leo Harris
It's funny but where I am we have similar thing to lift and Uber from local Google like company and in comparison they have profits not losses, market share is higher and they're doing fine. Good thing is nobody actually compares numbers nowadays so it's easier to grab good shit.
Jayden Gomez
Is lyft gonna spike the market or tank it?
David Martinez
Literally why did VZ decide to form the largest red candle in months literally the day I buy. JUST
Carter Green
Ok... so the large specs no longer even hide that they manipulate the market to short squeeze retail oil bears... Im fine with this
