    Maybe TA should use the business model of Loves? You know their profits are sky high selling that medieval armor and those roller dogs.

    Not true there though.

    You can pick a good stock and just ignore and make money.

    You cannot just pick a good woman and ignore her.

    If that statement were true, I'd be getting laid all the time, instead of just once per year.

    best way i can explain it for you to understand it is to...

    go to a stock broker, invest $50,000 to $100,000 in various stocks.

    read the stock reports daily, and cringe and cry when they go down.

    jump for joy and revelry when they climb.

    watch the stocks split, and be as happy as a pig in the poke

    cry a river of crocodile tears, when the Feds raid the place and all stocks are worth less than toilet paper...


    get it now...?????????

    So the Guy who is investing everyone else’s money, doesn’t invest himself? That’s not very reassuring to the Investers. Lol.

    I don't know about you guys but I quite enjoy day trading.

    I started with $200 3 months ago and as of today I'm at $2700.

    This is all a test to actually see if I can do it. 90% of my money is with a big broker and I always see monthly gains but I want to see 15-30% not 5%
     
    JonJon78 Thanks this.

    As long as you are holding the stocks and not selling them, there's no need to cringe and cry or jump for joy because you have not realized any losses or gains.
     
    Lite bug and Hulld Thank this.

    You need to fire that broker if they're only getting you 5%. The funds I picked for my 401(k) had a lifetime average of 15% last time I checked.
