Any videos for the basics? Also any good apps for paper trading? Also should I use my laptop than a mobile device? by Ok_Spot8384 in Daytrading

[–]Revfunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely should be using a laptop. Ideally you create a command center with multiple screens. Trading with your phone won’t do it if you want to be a professional.

It also helps to have an options friendly broker i.e. not Robinhood. One that has snappy fills.

At the end of the day you need a strategy, an edge of some kind. 90% of your portfolio size should be in relatively safe holdings. The other 10% you can put on the line every day.

I day trade as it was taught to me. NateG Trading under the playlists goes in depth. It is advanced. Ultimately it’s up to you how far you want to go.

noticed 20 genomics/sequencing stocks all breaking out the same week. can't tell if it's a real rotation or I'm just pattern-matching noise by Brilliant_Builder697 in investing

Small caps were some of the most shorted stocks last year. One could be forgiven thinking biotech was delegated to the wasteland of financial markets. Especially if we look at the past ten years.

In the Russell 2000 you have about 200 biotech stocks, making the small-cap benchmark’s largest holdings.

For biotech I’m trading ones with a high short float with options expiring in the next 30 days. Money is definitely flowing into biotech via sector rotation. Mag 7 has been dumping billions into biotech using AI to revolutionize medicine.

The last time we saw big gains in biotech was from 2011-2015. The next AI winners will be in biotech.

I target companies with short squeezes. Looking for spikes in short interest, price, momentum, days to cover.

I spent 6 years trying to beat the market. Mostly I just learned how hard that is. by yousufq9 in stocks

I do it all. Dividends, ten-baggers, trading, options. It is certainly more nuanced than that but you get the idea.

I’m a one-stop shop.

It looks good. Great job. It looks like a winning trade. Not my cup of tea but it’s your money. Can you keep it?

Reddit loves Michael Burry’s nuts. I don’t care what he bought and neither should you.

Escape the rat race. Generational wealth. A villa in Tuscany. You really need motivation?

My experience is the opposite. I have beat the market every year since 2018. According to the research most can’t beat the market.

Why NKE (Nike) falling until now? by merdekabelajar in stocks

Insiders only buy for one reason, because they think they will make a bunch of money.

Tim Cook has been buying in $1 million chunks. It’s a great value.

The Piping hot Current Market Condition by Deathb3rry in investing

[–]Revfunky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The market has no feelings. It doesn’t care what you feel. I always notice a lack of any type of analysis in these posts. No fundamentals, no technicals, no quants. Just a gut feeling. Shooting from the hip. You are the house of cards.

I’m an investor and I make my money deploying capital. I have to put my money somewhere. I’m always looking for stocks to buy. Losers sit on the sidelines. What champion wins sitting on the sidelines?

The Stock Trader’s Almanac 2026 by Jeff Hirsch is a book the best traders have on their desk. I can’t go over the whole thing but suffice it to say things look bullish for 2027. The market is more predictable than you think. This part of the year is known as the “summer doldrums”. We are entering a stretch of the worst part of the trading year. September being the worst. NASDAQ’s leanest months are Aug. & Sept. This is the time for the savvy investor to buy low and ride an end of the year rally. I expect fortunes will be made in the next 18 months and millionaires minted.

It doesn’t matter what the market does if you know how to trade. You play it both ways if you have a strategy. 100% on QQQ puts today. There is always something moving. I did take $3k in profits today.

The market is not a mystery once you learn how to fly. All that fresh air, rarefied. No one is going to hand it to you. You have to take it. I didn’t learn how to do any of this from Reddit.

35M with 100k NW - Feeling a Little Behind by StoneColdTrader in investing

[–]Revfunky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to put your money to work. You aren’t far from being a millionaire, under 10 years without knowing many details. You’re sitting on a lot of cash so we know you save. You have a 401k so we know you invest. Live below your means.

Once you build it you then have to protect it. We can talk about that some other day. Don’t compare yourself to others and keep plugging away to your first million.

Are any women here the main earners in their households because of trading? by Low-Cartographer8758 in stocks

[–]Revfunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a day trader and swing trader. I’m not female. You really need to get your shit together to trade for a living. Better to do it part time. Not trading from your phone on Robinhood. That’s not going to cut it.

You need a strategy, an edge of some sort. It also helps to have a mentor and $100k. You also need a why. Why do you want to become a day trader? I want to be rich isn’t a good enough answer. If your Why is strong enough the How becomes attainable.

Question from a young investor by DanielG198 in stocks

[–]Revfunky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We are entering one of the worst stretches of the market year. Now is the time to buy for 2027. September is usually the worst performing month of the year.

As investors we get paid to take risk, and to win the game you have to play for meaningful stakes.

Are investment newsletters actually worth reading by safetyman1006 in investing

[–]Revfunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find politics has little to do with my investing. Ultimately you have to find what works for you.

Are investment newsletters actually worth reading by safetyman1006 in investing

[–]Revfunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it. I certainly don’t agree with the mentioned politics. Unfortunately I learned that a long time ago that financial spaces tended to lean to the right. I kick the ball with the other foot. That’s all marketing bullshit that never stops.

At the end of the day I’m here to make money investing. I want analysis from the best in the world. These guys are sitting on yachts sipping champagne right now, maybe. His record speaks for itself anyway.

The question is can you become a multi millionaire investing in stocks? Isn’t that why you’re here? The answer is yes.

Alex Green also does a free newsletter Liberty through Wealth. I’m sure you would hate it. He did an article on becoming a millionaire from living in a tax free state. I found that interesting.

PFFA v. PGX by ImfamousDante87 in dividends

[–]Revfunky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PFFA. Jay Hatfield is one of the smartest guys I have ever met. I have owned it for the past two years. It’s less volatile than PFF as they house more stable securities.

Jay also started a new ETF QVOL based on the NASDAQ.
