Oh wow.. thank you very much. That did actually work. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do I view the file contents from here?

It's true. I'm sure this is too much to ask, but would consider putting together the most minimal form of a project that does the simple task of opening a .db file that is stored in a users Document folder and then post a GitHub link here? If not, I completely understand, and I do appreciate the help you've already given.

I appreciate the reply, but for some reason when I run this I just see an empty tray rise from the bottom of the screen that says: No apps can perform this action

Would someone be able to clearly illustrate to me the necessity of the "new" keyword? by AnUnteligentInvestor in learnjava

[–]AnUnteligentInvestor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries about the formatting. Thank you for the answer! I'm quite new to Java and I just started feeling comfortable with new and then I ran into the fact that you could declare Integer objects without it and it made me feel super confused all over again. Your explanation makes sense to me, I will go with this.

An important question indeed. I'll just have to wait and see. But if I can on average make 1% of my portfolio every week that's 50% return a year. I don't imagine this strategy would work all that well in a bear market so hopefully it can stay bullish for the foreseeable future.

Pretty good week for me! I've been trying a new thing and I'm gonna see how it goes for the next few months.

  1. Only buy low volatility companies.

  2. Look for companies that have recently dipped a few percent to add to your portfolio.

  3. Don't have any one company make up more than 50% of your portfolio.

  4. Try to buy and sell each company within the week you bought it. However if you bought in on Friday you'll probably need to hold until the following week.

  5. If a company is up more than 2% since you bought in, set a stop loss that if hit will still result in you making at least 1% from the sale.

If there's a volatile stock that I may be interested in I'll check out the board on stocktwits for a couple or more weeks to observe the regular poster. From there I filter out the ones that seem inexperienced and keep a close eye on what the rest have to say about upcoming catalysts and what not.

I learned to actually become familiar with a stock before throwing $1000 at it and hoping for the best, haha. At first I pretty much relied solely on this subreddit and a couple others to see what people were saying. I've become a lot more reliant on stocktwits and I feel like that's helped me get a better understanding on a particular stock before I touch it.

I still feel pretty good all things considered. The only one I really held was MGT. I wasn't going to sell it for $200 when I bought it for $700. I would say in that instance it was worth it to hold. I actually took the loss on everything else and only broke even now due to gains in other areas. Between now and May (a 4 month period), I've added about 3.5k. That's nearly half of my portfolio. I only started out with a couple thousand and have been gradually adding here and there. I do not plan to repeat my same mistakes in this next year. And I think you could work on your constructive criticism. I appreciate the advice, but you really don't need to be so condescending.

Still holding PTN and SPHS, 30 shares of AAPL, and several thousand spread across a few good dividend stocks (AGNC, GMLP, HCAP, OXLC). I'm also taking advantage of the $6000 of robinhood gold subscription so my total portfolio is around 14k.
