It's just me still butthurt over GME and CCIV. I've more than made up for that with AMC, but I bought way back at 13.43 with what I had left over from the aforementioned failures. But I've got my eye out for ****ery with this one too.

What was your average price on GME?

Lots of ****ery to be had still. I say the best chance it has for another big jump is June 18th. I'm not holding my breath, but if nothing by then I'm selling everything I've got left, which isn't a lot.

Why don't you start doing an in-depth financial analysis of the companies you are thinking about investing in?

Because, other than this meme triad, I'm not an investor in individual stocks.

Fundamentals rarely apply to trading but more long term investing. I don’t even look at fundamentals when swing trading, only moving on technicals. I don’t care if the company I’m trading is severely in the red, I’m only buying short term and looking for momentum. If I’m long a stock, that’s only a play if it’s a solid company with good financials.

I don’t think many new investors look at fundamentals or technicals though.

So basically you are gambling- but, you are at least using data to make educational guesses on the market- that is far more than what is happening on Robin Hood. :thumb:

It seems Dave and others are just trusting their money to a random post on social media. Scary.

That's exactly what I did. And will not be doing again.

Not gambling at all. You should look up technical analysis. It’s actually less risky then buying and holding individual stocks long term because EVERY trade has risk management built in from the start.

I prefer funds/indexes for most of my long term investing. Again, much less risky than owning individual stocks long term.

If you don't want to analyze companies, then use your own instincts and observations. You would be better off than trusting internet scammers and trolls.

Example: Every day I see trucks for Iron Mountain. So I looked them up and found out they are into secure document disposal, file storage, etc. Very solid, so I invested in them. I am up 28% with a dividend that was reinvested this year so far.

A lot of people would argue (some very compelling) that technical analysis is pure bullshit.

I just started 10 ETF's and 5 Mutual funds in my Fidelity account where I have my Roth.

My stock portfolio is modest compared to all the CP millionaires on here-lol It is basically a mutual fund I have built for myself.

Lew has found the sweet spot between his risk tolerance, bankroll and investment goals- it sounds like a good place to be!

I spent 4 in college in Finance analyzing companies- which now seems like a obsolete way to invest. :doh!:

I had a string of 40 winners- but then temporarily ****ed myself by "diversifying" my investments into a few companies with great potential but lacking a solid base I look for. I sold a couple of dogs and cut my China stocks that had big gains to cover the losses. I have reinvested that money and have 8 straight in the green again.

It is frustrating to set my price buys and then have the stocks take off. I missed a couple of big hitters- Roblox and Data Dog because I tried to save 5% off the front end. Live and learn I guess.

It’s playing the game of averages and math. That’s it. Learn your boundaries and set risk management strategies. It doesn’t work for most people because they can’t define their own rules.
