I tend to pick winners and sell when I get a 5-20% gain and then watch them jump up 50%, so this might actually help me make more money lol

I've removed the robinhood widget from my phone home screen...

Look at this rich person who can "just designate 1000 dollars".

That's over a quarter of some of our accounts!

I will just lose everything on day 1 betting on some therapeutics company.

This is the story of my life with options. I had CRM 01/29 calls that i sold for like a 5% gain and then they literally went up 100% + the next day.

It's human nature to try to lock in gains because we fear losing them and usually sell out too early. I think Warren Buffet said something like "The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient." which I've experienced dozens of times already even though I've been investing for less than 5 years. That's why I really evolved away from being a short term trader to more of a buy and hold quality names with the occasional trading with like 5-10% of my portfolio.

It's getting easier with a bigger account. I actually have enough to be in more than one position at once now

Some degenerate supporting UBI gave me 1,000FG.

Ill give 1000FG to the person who can post the best % gain by April 2, 2021. Your investment must be purchased on Jan 21, 2021 or after. No options or other financial derivatives, must be via trading stocks. I don't have a financial platform that reasonably trades options so if I cant play you cant either.

I don't care how much you invest. its % gained not dollar. Honour system only, cheat if you want its 1,000 fg.

Buy and sell as many times as you want, it's not an invest and hold.

Better buy some more Zom today and determine % gained on that new amount going forward!

My entire portfolio is red today.

K I'm in, i never actually meme very hard so in reality I expect my investment to either go +5%/-5%.

But these guys last quarterly report was on fire. Cash from operating activities in the last 24 weeks 2,228 (in millions). They took a sudden drop after a failed bid that was a surprise bid to shareholders to begin with. Management ultimately took a lot of backlash and it dropped.
