    Don’t mess with individual stocks if you’re trying to actually grow a large sum of money to have in the future. Way too much stress and volitility involved with single stocks.

    Buy into a well diversified mutual fund with low fees, continue buying into it on a regular basis, even when the market is up or down, and enjoy your 8-12% long term rate of return.

    But I would also wait to do that in a personal trading account until after you’re maxing out your tax advantaged retirement options utilizing the same strategy.

    Also, if you want to practice, download the app Marketsim on your phone. They give you a fake $10k to start with and you buy and sell. You get an idea real quick how difficult it is.

    So when the market closed this past Friday, I bought a bunch of shares of AMD with the intent of selling when market opened this morning. I figure this market is full of shit right now with the +400 points one day, and - 400 points the next day, then +400 points the following day, might as well play their little manipulation game. So right when the market opened, I sold it all, and made a 1.7% profit ($200]. I literally held the stock for 2 minutes of live market time. Bought at 3:58pm Friday, and sold right at market open today.

    It is officially a joke market (smh). Nothing changed beside trump tweeting him and China’s president are still friends.

    I might just buy back in again when the market plummets tomorrow or Wednesday and play it again.

    Based on the daily pattern of the market the past month, its don’t buy on up days y, buy at end of down days, sell on following up day, rinse and repeat

    Market was at +350 today and it’s been downhill since then. It’d be messed up if it closed negative today

    Well, at least they can say it was a positive day. Lol. Looks like the market close saved it from going negative

    Weren’t we negative that much in the last couple weeks and closed up a fe hundred? Would only (not) make sense :rofl: it really feels like someone is deliberately manipulating this with the swings we’ve been seeing.

    Looks like it’s gonna be a positive day based on sentiment. All stocks should go up today. Buy at open, sell before end of day. That’s pretty much the play. Since tomorrow sentiment can flip.

    China says they will open up their economyso this reduces the risk of a trade war a lot. (Until or course they change their mind)

    That sounds like playing the market based on people's emotion. Do you have luck with this? Care to elaborate?

    Well, right now the market is being based on fundamentals at all. Pretty much reacts to tweets and speeches with huge swings.

    Literally if you bought pretty much any mid to major stock at open and hour ago, you’d be up a good chunk right now.

    the market HAS been based on emotion. Any time "trade war" or "rate hike" is mentioned in the news, the market reacts... It seems like any period of radio silence means a bull market otherwise
