with the world slowly burning to the ground, all industries apart from delivery drivers redundant, how the fuck stocks have hit an all time high? Im no economist but how the hell is this possible?

What if we discussed investment advice other than cryptocurrencies?

Over the last 5 days I've daytraded my way from 0.54 ETH to 0.71 ETH.

Am I doing good?

you deserve to lose all your money, rational people have been avoiding ponzi schemes since the 1920s.

i wouldn't invest based on the chart, but you seem to know what you're talking about so if you feel you're right go for it.

well recover in 6 months after BTC hits 8k

General Investing advice thread.
tips on how to be a smart investor, that can be applied to anything (stocks, crypto, bonds..)

i'll start: Don't give into fomo, instead start searching for the next thing that will see gains.

buy the dip/ don't buy at an ATH (similar to first point)

set limits on how much you are willing to lose / gain and play within them. even if you could have made 300% on an investment but cashed out at 250%, the person who cashed out at 250% will do better investing long term. getting overly greedy will lose you money longterm.

do research before you invest.

I want to buy some shares in a couple companies, but I'm wondering what the best way to go about that is. My bank has direct investing, but it's $10 per order and it takes like three days to process it.

Fuck all these cryptocurrencies for a second. I'm waitinf for 5k to transfer to coinbase to I can buy my first Bit Coin

What are sheap stocks that I can buy on robin hood that WILL definitely explode!

Adsense trade ircs, are those still a thing? Help a old lurker with some links, communities and so on - I'll pay you back, I'll be lurking whole week and share my expertise.

Stocks:
>Generally stable and predictable
>Prices tied to reputable businesses
>Market not active for large parts of the say so sleep at night is possible
>Gains just as large, less risk

Coining:
>Completely unstable and unpredictable
>Prices tied to unrepeatable alt-coin firms and Chiyna
>Market active 24/7 requiring constant vigilance to make money
>Tiny gains, huge risk

Why do you even coin, /biz/?

Why do you all keep arguing over stupid shit? Making money off of stocks and crypto is easy, just buy low and sell high.

I'll start:

Sell:
>SAVE
>DAL
>HPQ

Buy:
>BNS
>IDCC
>MAR
>WEN

How do you trade stocks? I'm going to go open up a cash trading account. Each trade will cost me $10, and there is a quarterly account maintenance fee of $25, which can be waived if I complete 3 trades per quarter. It can also be waived if I pre authorize $100 deposits each month into that cash account.

I am thinking about using TD Direct Investing since I bank with TD Canada Trust and hold credit cards with them.

Are there alternative platform type things to use that are better than TD? Are there any free ones?

TD has this one called "think or swim", I saw it mentioned a couple days ago here, anyways, is think or swim a good tool?

I'm not exactly new to /biz/, I sort of know some things about stocks. I've just never really actually ventured into it to buy them for myself, I have practiced on virtual traders though for a couple years now, on and off every few months.

Where can I get started with the stock market?
