What’s you’re risk tolerance that’s the real question?


If your tolerance is high, I say do an 80/20 split


80 in Tesla and 20 in square.

And, bear with me bruh I'm new to all of this, but I will do my research. But are you saying that split with tesla as 80% is because it's already trading at all time highs so we're entering the unknown?

Or more because of the electric car market in general?

Watch this for now:



I’ll throw some more stuff your way later though.

As long as you don’t need the money for 3-5 Years you’ll be aight.


Also feel free to do some research in this thread on square and Tesla. Just hit the search button. The case has already been made, there’s just no way to simplify your inquiry.

aside from saying invest in Tesla and square

Watch the first few videos of this playlist:



read as many of these papers as you can:
White Papers Listing - ARK Invest

Then peep this page:
Invest In The Future Today - ARK Invest

Then explore that site in general:
ARK Invest | We Believe Innovation Is Key to Growth


Also when you buy stock, deploy it over a series of time. Don't go balls deep investing all 15k at once. Spread it over a few weeks / months to see if you can catch the stock slipping......


Most people in here are universally invested in Tesla and Square( cash app), if we sell out, you'll know. Most of us are long.....

Here's some books I recommend for beginners:

I suggest everyone start with the first two I have listed.

How to read a financial report:
Tracy, John A._ Tracy, Tage C - How to read a financial report_ wringing vital signs out of the numbers-Wiley (2020)

I actually created a cheat sheet, with all the main points, but I won't be sharing it. I want people to actually read it. :ufdup:

Investing for Dummies:
(For dummies) Paul J. Mladjenovic - Stock investing for dummies (2020)


This is my favorite read so far. It's very easy. Only took me a day. It definitely helped increase my risk tolerance.
Morgan Housel - The Psychology of Money:
Morgan Housel - The Psychology of Money_ Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness-Harriman House Limited (2020)

I really like the concept of Insurtech:
Will Insurtech Disrupt the Insurance Industry?
Young people will start flocking to companies like ROOT & LMND in a matter of time.

Root refers to itself as a “technology company revolutionizing personal insurance with a pricing model based upon fairness and a modern customer experience.” The foundation of their entire company is the Root mobile app which lives on your smartphone and monitors your driving habits to determine a usage-based insurance (UBI) score which determines your car insurance rate. The safer you drive, the less you pay for car insurance.

More than 75% of their customers are acquired via mobile phone in as little as 47 seconds, without touching their keyboard. Just scan your driver’s license and you’re ready to start your two-to-four week test drive. If you’re a safe driver, they’ll probably quote you a premium rate less than what you’re paying elsewhere.

When it comes to measuring progress, there are any number of rather boring benchmarks used by insurance companies to compare themselves with their peers. One of these metrics is “direct written premiums” which represents the growth of an insurance company based on the premiums they’re collecting from customers. In 2019, Root’s direct written premiums totaled $451 million. That’s about 1% of what their biggest competitor – State Farm – managed to do that same year.

Stock is trading an all time low, since it's IPO.....

Earnings on 12/1/2020

If it drops a bit lower, I'm copping some as a spec play prior to earnings, if it dips after earnings, i'll cop more...

@smitty22 you heard of ROOT? Is it popular in OHIO?
