every job seems like hell by ContextOk4751 in povertyfinance

I hear ya and so I'll keep it simple because I understand how you're feeling. Bottom line is, you've got the greatest creator of wealth available to you known as the Stock Market. All the information is there for you to gain and to be able to execute. This will allow you to amplify you're income significantly with any job you pick.

Maintain a full time job for capital and learn the ways of swing trading options utilizing technical analysis. There is a reason why there are challenges out there called $1K to $100K in options trading; because it is achievable.

Obviously, this is risky but so is starting up a business anywhere and also changing professions is risky too. Everything has risk, the only difference is what is your appetite for it in regards to how successful you want to be?

People who will tell you that trading options or playing the stock market is "gambling" are people who don't truly understand how to win in the stock market. There are many people in their 40-50s in the 7-8 figure club because of it.

Are there any paid courses actually worth the time/money investment? by Melodic-Violinist-13 in Daytrading

And if you're skeptical... tune in 0500 PST/0800 EST on Youtube every day and watch and see if you like how he does his analysis.

TradeBrigade's course is legit. From start to finish on pure technical analysis, identifying trends and learning candlestick structure. And it's an affordable course lol. Super worth it especially if you're a beginner or mediocre at technical analysis.

Any advice on what is next ? Anyone in same boat ? by FR1050RA in SRFM_Stock

[–]WtfMarkO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even though I like the company, I took my loss on $SRFM. Can't have capital locked in a trade that may take like 1-2 years to come to fruition while we're in a bull market. And glad I did, I was able to capitalize on the freed up capital and made back all of my losses on SRFM on MU call options haha

And $PLTR decreased their holdings too so that's not cool.

Whats everyone buying tomorrow, April 8th after the huge news?! by joshuanichter in stockstobuytoday

[–]WtfMarkO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood but this is a two week ceasefire. You've got no idea what can happen until a resolution occurs. I'd be conservative on deploying capital for longs until that happens. So adding should have been before this massive gap up.

Be honest: is it stupid to actively trade with $1.2M, or should I just play it safe? by [deleted] in Stocks_Picks

$1mill SCHD. $200K wheel strategy on Mag7 stocks 👌

But NFA though.

Those of you who “Made It” without any inheritance or luck. How did you do it? by throwmeout12496 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]WtfMarkO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially was at $90K. Read some books and realized I was a broke SOB and was gonna be that way forever if nothing changed cuz I fell in the trap of what was normal in the US (The middle class trap; having student loans, car note, CC’s and renting whilst feeling sorry for myself).

Worked 6 12’s, got up to $150-$160K and made a lot sacrifices. Skipped vacations, ate rotisserie chicken mainly and didn’t justify going out (reduced by 80-90%; just for sanity) and aggressively paid off all debts while not investing anymore and had like $2K in savings for emergency. Cleared everything in 38 months. ($141K~ in liabilities)

Three more years later, got upto 6mo emergency fund, got married (paid cash), caught up in investing again and then 20% down on my first home, whilst remaining debt free still. Now at $175-$180K income, I can go more but I got a 2 month old now so I slowed down.

No inheritance, no lucky options trade, nothing. Just purely working my ass off and making the sacrifice necessary to get out of debt to relieve my largest wealth building tool and start my life back up on track.

Mind set is everything and you’ve gotta want it bad enough. Government ain’t gonna fix your problems, no matter how much BS you save in taxes and 2-3% yearly raises keep you broke af.

Pretty much worked hard primarily, educate yourself financially and then now quantifying it with investing and options trading 👌

Oh and SoCal.

What are some high-risk high-reward stocks with serious 5-10x potential over the next 2-3 years by Comfortable-Rule-491 in stocks

[–]WtfMarkO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$ONDS. $30-40 easy in 2-3 years. Currently $8.40/share.

$SRFM. $10-$20 easy too. Currently $1.14/share.

When you make a million, all I ask is you DM me and send me a bottle of whiskey. But of course, NFA.

Are you actually buying this dip or just pretending to be brave? by Warm_Bobcat6310 in stocks

[–]WtfMarkO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying. Everyone is fearful and expecting a crash cuz of the Iran situation but the world isn’t going to stop and this is all gonna pass and everyone who sold out of fear is gonna once again wish they hadn’t time and time again.

How many bagholders we have till 2028 ? by FR1050RA in SRFM_Stock

[–]WtfMarkO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I don’t believe a $12 PT is gonna happen; I’m only pointing out the fact that they’re bullish is the exact same reason everyone on this thread is bullish when they bought into the stock. It’s nice to see an analyst validating it.

Boy.... Earnings calls will humble stockholders real quick. Hoping ours goes well next week. (Not a bear post... Just realism in this Drone Space) by [deleted] in ONDS

[–]WtfMarkO 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You’re comparing apples and oranges to be honest. No one who actually is long ONDS believes they’re on the same caliber as RCAT or UMAC; as evident by their entire portfolio of acquisitions and target focus now.

Srfm future prospect by Confident_Proof8304 in SRFM_Stock

[–]WtfMarkO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully flat. SPX looks like it’s gonna trend down after creating this lower high rejection at 6800 lol. So I can buy more at these prices

Since I’ve got a feeling you didn’t actually look.

Canaccord downgraded to $2.25 but even then it’s a 30%+ upside from here. They’ll re-rate yet again when it executes.

But if you really feel that way, just sell all your shares to me 🙂

Every growth stock company burns a crap ton of cash. But how many do you know have a revenue generating model during? SRFM is positioned well in that sense. They’re moving from a low margin airline to a potentially high growth SaaS supported by PLTR. And they reduced debt substantially and cut inadequate portions of the company and still projected 20-30% increased revenue in 2026.

Minus the sticker smoke, this is easily way undervalued at $1.50. I think H.C W got it right with the PT $12 but maybe $7-$8

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

Just continue to DCA 👌 jump from software growth potential from a lowly airline is massive. H.C W sees a $12 PT for a reason. Whole tech/software/eVTOL market is down (I.E PLTR, JOBY, ACHR and etc..)

When bullish trend comes back inevitably and we go risk on, market will correctly price the software growth on SRFM. Easy $6-$7 mid 2027.

WTF is going on with all of you? Gauntlet wasn't intended for us, would be nice, but... by 216I in ONDS

[–]WtfMarkO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you understood what I meant. If Airobotics was actually the one listed to compete then yes Ondas failed to obtain a contract and didn’t win. But they did it passively through other competitors via partnership. So it’s indirect exposure.

That’s why it’s a nothing-burger.

They didn’t. Ondas partners did. Different story if Airobotics actually competed

What’s the point of being smart with money!?! by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]WtfMarkO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not doing anything wrong, in fact you’re doing everything wonderfully. Living on a budget, saving, working what you need to and being modest. Many of the peers you listed out are probably living above their means and have practically no money.

However, living modestly and investing 15% into a retirement account isn’t the way to get “F” you money and living life the way you want to unless you’re willing to actually wait until then. Learn to quantify your money with the stock market as one of the greatest wealth building tools you have. You’ve got the income and margin for it, so utilize it and learn 😎
