>I have 50k. How much should the principal investment into stock be to avoid getting wrecked?
depends on how long you want to be in the market
(and probably depends on what kind of stocks too)

>How much should the weekly investment be thereafter?
depends on your goals, and your risk tollarance

>Nigger I am 29 and investing for the first time in my life.

I'm a 20 year old college student
Statistically, buying and hodling index funds tends to work out best for most people in the long term, but trading really isn't that hard to learn and doesn't have to take up a ton of time
I do it as a hobby

depends on your strategy

What type of trader are you?

>>12362577
position trading is the most based trading strategy

Thanks, I'm surprised how smoothly it went as well
I still prefer position trading, but I could see myself doing this with things like SPXL and TVIX again in the future when I have some spare money that I don't mind risking
I used the money I bought the SPXL share with and the tiny profit I made to add to VTGN

>trading these days am hell ;_;

try swing trading, then
if you can't predict intraday price fluctuations as well any more, then change your style

for the vast majority of people, the most profitable thing to do is hold long term
not only is day trading harder, but it also isn't worth the effort

Somewhat depends on the investor, but most aim for companies they like I would say.

technical analysis is a good way of predicting short term trends in the price of a stock, and fundamental analysis is good for predicting the long-term success of a company

>watching trends, buying low, selling high

That's the basic idea of the stock market, the only thing that varies is what trends you're looking for and what timeframe you're thinking in
The stock market is also much more unpredictable than Warcraft auction house trends
Find a sector (industry/"niche" of the stock market) that you're interested in or somewhat knowledgeable about, identify some stocks in that sector that seem like they might be good buys to you, and then do research on those stocks using fundamental and technical analysis to decide if you want to buy in or not

If you're thinking in the short term, technical analysis is more important than fundamental analysis
If you're thinking in the long term, fundamental analysis is more important than technical analysis

time to start hodling bitch boy

>>11910706
A lot, potentially
Either way, short term price action isn't something I'm particularly concerned about
VTGN is doing even worse today, but I'm still confident in the long-term viability of the drugs they're producing
I think in terms of months and years, not days and weeks

My strategy is a mixture of long-term investing (utilities and consumer staples) and position trading (biotech)

>>11573720
>for tomorrow

day trading is a shit-tier strategy
think in terms of weeks at the minimum, desu

>>11573733
this is a pretty good bet
FAANG is overvalued as shit

I do trade, my strategy just involves a lot more hodling than others'
It's called position trading, my man

So who here hasn't bothered with a retirement fund and have been putting their money into the market.

I'm 25 and considering starting my retirement fund as I'm earning enough now.
Would it be wise to just dump everything in the S&P500 and such indices as my retirement money?
Anyone doing this?

Seriously?

Why not Security Analysis, Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits, Common Sense on Mutual Funds, Fooled By Randomness, The Black Swan, Investment Valuation, and Portfolio Selection, Margin of Safety?

Which is most profitable?
