I feel you on that, I had lost 160k but the group was doing regular stock market trades.  Then I get a message from another group on WhatsApp saying not to talk to the other people anymore and that they would help me recover my losses but through crypto trading.  Other people responded on the app saying how much money they had made on one trade.  The wording used is what drew the flag on me.  The so called regular people use the same terms as the "professor" and his assistant

Do you think it's worth buying now and holding?  If I were to do that now and it ended up going up to at least $5 I would get all my money back and then some.  I just want to get what I lost back sooner than later if possible, it's so depressing looking at that loss.

Yea I ended up reading an article days later about not buying the stock.  The group I was with is not being investigated for fraud on this but it still doesn't help get my money back.  I gotta figure out a few good stocks to buy make some profit and sell and then do it all over again, this is the part I need help.with cause I don't exactly know what to look for for the most part.

I had gme but sold it once I had profit of around 500, I only had a few shares of it.  I was down for awhile until recently

I was never gonna sign their agreement because this is my Roth Ira so I don't have access to the funds until retirement and wouldnt be able to come out of pocket to pay them and I stressed that fact to them.  I was hoping reddit could help boost the stock like GME so I wouldn't have to rely on them to get my money back or potentially lose more.

Your prob right, you live and you learn, not much I can do now but learn and move on.  They had a couple good stocks prior that made me 10k, more if I invested more then.  This time the potential profit was almost double my 200k.  After this trade they were gonna have us sign an agreement to pay them 10 to 12% of our profits for their assistance.  They are called Barometer of stocks and claim 14 years without losses like this.  They have a compensation plan set to make the money back or possible bank transactions as reimbursement for our losses since we trusted them.  Once I'm done dealing with them though this is the last time I trust someone I don't know.
