What’s the best resources to get up to speed on either penny stocks or options? I wanna see if I can flip $1k next week into like 1.5k - baby steps, but I’m seeing people make big money in a couple months, I need to pay these student loans :sadcam:

Why didn't you just do that Monday morning when the futures were at 900?

that was a good day to buy calls and let it print. the best way to learn is to just dive in. start small and work your way up after reading charts and learning patterns. you can learn all the terminologies you want but the best experience is just getting in.
options are dangerous tho. the money leave as fast as it come:francis:

whats your bankroll and risk threshold ?

penny stocks is the easiest way but you can just lose everything. ie, gambling. most people playing that game are losing money long-term.

options and futures is something beginning investors are discouraged from, but it might be worth it in todays market like yesterday was too much of a rise for market. beware that some trading platforms can fukk you up on futures/options, since those are very time-sensitive. any flag/review/unavailability, and you can be screwed.

I dont think playing the market is a good way to make an extra 500 bucks you really need. I think there are better risk-free ways, such as putting your balance on 0% apr credit cards and earning interest on savings accounts, if you really need cash.

for investments or even gambling to work you need a bankroll you wouldn't be worried about losing too much of. in case of penny stocks, its like a poker bankroll.

if you need 50% roi off a few weeks, and you dont mind losing most of your investment as worst case scenario, penny stocks are your friend. look at trends and try to buy, hold and watch it rise, then sell as the pump gets too big. the big thing in penny stock gambling is that you have to be aware that most information coming to you is because the pumpers want you to have it. and the issue is, penny stocks attract gamblers who like to go for big gains (the moon), and by chasing those their chance of getting dumped on gets huge.

I don’t “need” any extra money per se, I feel comfortable losing a g, that’s why I threw it out there. Wanna dip in with $1000 and see if I can gain $500 from it, but I don’t know shyt about finding the best stocks to do quick flips (nor options)

no way i'd be that conservative if i had that kind of cash flow.....i flipped 25k into 90k in jan-march (took some big losses too, but i was hitting the gas pedal)......right now i own like 6% of xspa's entire float....i'm a small timer compared to some of you but i make Big Moves.....know no technicals, never read WSJ or Barrons, i just act like i'm at the casino

I’m no expert but with the advice these good dudes been throwing at me, wait for the next dip we hopefully get and look at eri, Disney, Starbucks, moderna or any other stocks these dudes put out ThAts looking good during the dip. Throw 200 at each and hope for the best. Once it raises like it just did today and yesterday, sell them shyts and get your money.

I basically play penny stocks all day everyday. It takes a longgg time to learn. There's alot of resource for free on YouTube. Best thing to do is to learn charts, support/resistance, types of gaps, chart patterns, scanning stocks on finviz, low float plays, play using news.

oh gotcha.

penny stocks are king of flips, but with how volatile market is, follow dudes suggesting on here on quick flips or something :manny: this way you have leeway with losses. and you can do it with any platform pretty much. time a big dip and ride it till next peak and sell quickly.

You own 6% of xspa float? Thats like 2 million shares. Thats like 550k worth of stock.
