:dead: at people following what youtubers buy or say is good to buy.

U just setting yourselves up for failure going that route

might as well throw away your money at Motely's Fool if u taking that route
Some of these guys have proven track records. You can't just follow them blindly though. There's stuff I bought like Uber that a YouTuber like Financial Education used to shyt on before he suddenly turned around and bought it before the pandemic hit then sold out of it during the pandemic. I've held onto Uber through out and it's one of my better performing stocks and the money has almost doubled. He's also shat on big banks then suddenly turned around and started buying Chase. I've seen him shyt on Shopify and now he's randomly onboard with buying it. He clowned Nio hard when it was early days and look at it now.

Lastly there's stocks they hype up then dump like Cheesecake Factory. Unless you subscribe to their private groups where you can view their moves in real time I'd suggest not just copying them like that. View the stuff they point out and make your own decision.

:mjlol:I'm most definitely All In Gang'n RBLX when they debut.

:mjlol: The fact that they pushed the date back so they didn't get lost in the sauce against DASH and ABNB was a genius move. They will definitely go on a run like BYND. If DASH didn't keep changing their IPO price they would have ran as well.

:mjlol: RBLX is one of the few stocks I'm long on besides OGIG and ARK-Series. The rest is swings.

:mjlol: I was the first one telling yaw about CAKE and EAT. go back to old posts in this thread. Before any youtuber or anyone spoke on them. They are both back to trading at their regular price.

My regret was not going heavier in CAKE sand PLAY. I got cake at $16 and PLAY at $9. Both are up a stupid %.

The all in approach was probably the number 1 beneficial thing I learned about investing last year. Instead of diversifying, I should’ve threw my speculative money into CAKE and PLAY and would’ve been good.

They pushed back the IPO date so they could charge more.

shyt like PLAY at $5 was probably a once in a lifetime event. I think I sold PLAY up 150% or something and it just kept going.. i should have held even longer. I should have bought even more lol..

there's not a lot of 30% crashes in a week lol. that shyt just don't happen

but the point of all this is making money. you sell at a profit, you can't be mad.

I'll admit this past year where I actually took control over my own investing I have only profited off of listening to youtubers or other methods. Every stock that I got into this past year NIO, PLTR, LCA, and the ARKs came from recommendations of youtube and forums. Before that I was playing it safe thinking that was the way lost out on all kind of money.


But this past year is unique. A lot of newbies who started investing this year profited off of the covid dip and rise. Its not always gonna be this juicy to play the market


Trust me, i been doing this for over a decade. Most these youtubers dont have any special insight that u alone can learn off of DD

Yup. the March crash was just crazy. I didn’t buy in March because just didn’t know where things were going or if companies were gonna file for bankruptcy but even tho I bought in April stocks were still dumb cheap. I know these crashes happen something like one every several years but I wouldn’t mind if they happen more often :lolbron:

I forgot I still have BA i bought at $100 and a few airline, cruise and casino stocks :wow:

Free information, you would be a fool to not watch it. It’s not a random post saying buy “x stock”. There’s usually a lot of information contained in a 5-30 minute video. For years, some people have been buying stocks off someone on tv saying it’s a good buy or from a article, but YouTube is the problem?


U learn more by doing your own due diligence on a stock. But hey, if listening to youtubers help ya then go for it. Just dont be suckered in to their little premium paid group

While I do agree there’s a lot of youtubers who don’t know what they’re talking about, the ones that are often mentioned in here are good sources of info.

And this thread has enough knowledgeable ppl who will find winning stocks regardless of a crash or not.

Ask yourself this:

why would they need to advertise their trades on YouTube or elsewhere, other than to try and hype up stock picks?


If u have a legit teacher teaching u how to read charts and where to go for stock information, then cool.

But if u have some cornball who is giving out stocks and saying they are hitting the moon then :comeon:


You dont need youtube if u do your own work and learn. And all it takes is time from your daily life.

Just sayin :manny:

Y’all doing too much asking for 30-60% crashes more often, that shyt kills gains and it will be a long time before have a crash that immediately recovers a month later. WTH
