The one stock that I can guarantee will make you a winner is the decision not to invest in any stocks or cryptocurrencies.
I have done well in the stock market and wish I put more in bitcoin a year ago. Stocks are long term for most, my worst stock is up 27% from a year ago.
Bought Blackrock IBIT at the opening. Sold it after 30% gain before this shit collapse.
It's truly impressive that you achieved a 27% return on your worst stock - that's quite an accomplishment! I would love to learn some of the skills and strategies you used to achieve such success. Recently, I invested $5000 in the Edmonton Oilers team to win the Stanley Cup, with the potential for a return of $37500 or a loss of $5000.
You joke about sports betting compared to traditional investing. But the essence of investing is having an edge—whether that's using time and inflation to boost a decent company's bottom line or spotting an undervalued prospect. There's an argument that sports betting, when approached with a solid strategy to gain an edge, could logically be considered investing. But in your case, it’s just gambling. Still, with the right knowledge and approach, sports wagering could be viewed as an alternative investment, akin to equities, commodities, or crypto.
This forum is called 'hot stocks to buy?,' a rather vague title, so I’ll provide a few interpretations. If you mean 'hot' as in sexy, consider RICK, a company that owns several strip clubs. If 'hot' implies spicy, look at CMG, which represents Chipotle, a mexican fast food chain. And if you’re thinking of 'hot' as an acronym, there’s FIRE.TO, a cannabis company. Next time, please clarify what you mean by 'hot' when you refer to stock picks.
Hey buddy, I know the distinction between gambling and the stock market . Placing a bet immediately puts you in an underdog position, unlike the stock market where strategic investments can lead to growth. Gambling is often viewed more as a form of entertainment, addiction or showcasing knowledge. In my case, it leans towards the knowledge, driven by intuition and influenced by Edmonton's impressive 16-game winning streak in the preseason.
When I saw the odds for Edmonton at +750 to win the Stanley Cup from the first round, it presented me with an 11.76% chance of winning my bet. Taking into account these factors, I felt confident that a high-risk bet could potentially work in my favor, especially considering Edmonton Oilers' successful preseason. Watching the Stanley Cup brings me joy, and staying home to watch the games saves me money compared to going out.
Nonetheless, I am fully aware that my odds of winning are slim as I am considered a significant underdog, and winning the Stanley Cup would require winning 16 games. Reflecting on my past experiences, I used to invest in cryptocurrency and initially saw profits. However, the unpredictable nature of the market and its susceptibility to sudden crashes have made me wary of continuing with that investment avenue. Im more into stock market.
That's funny, you clearly haven’t understood what I said. Since you read my explanation and still confuse investing with gambling, let’s simplify it: the stock market and a casino are nearly identical in mechanics. The fundamental distinction between gambling and investing is the edge—the statistical advantage you hold. Investing means using that edge to make calculated decisions that lead to growth over time. That said, if you're astute enough, sports betting can straddle the line toward investing. It's about transforming raw stats, player performance, historical data into a predictive model that does more than just guess outcomes. If you apply rigorous analysis and manage risks effectively, sports betting can be considered strategic investment.
Nvidia is my best and the rest are way below that. It is not me that achieved that as I rely on others mostly, my failure pick was Air Canada, bought around $19 should have sold at $25 but held on too long and sold at $18. Hindsight is the best foresight
That’s great. Happy for you that you made a little $$. But rather than buy an ETF, you should be buying actual Bitcoin. And this “shit” will never collapse. It may be volatile, but will never collapse. It will be a million before it ever goes to zero. And if you truly think otherwise you need to do your due diligence and actually learn and understand Bitcoin, because you don’t; as showcased by your comment.
BTC is volatile as you said so what's the analysis to buy/sell at the right time?
Great stock that has performed under the radar is Monster , yes the energy drink. $1,000 invested in the beginning of their rise at $0.04 in December 2001 would be worth approximately $20,000,000. today and it still has some real upside
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha wake up to the reality of an unregulated investment
Yes, because Larry Fink and Blackrock, and Fidelity, etc, and Wall St are going to let themselves lose money. Have you seen what the most successful ETF launch in history is. History. Just because you don’t understand it, or more likely just don’t own any, no need to be a hater. It’s not to late. Buy .1 if you can. In 10 years you’ll thank me. Unless of course your 87 years old. ?? That’s my last comment on BTC.
Right now. Anytime. By 2030 it will be over $500,000 per coin. So while 60-70k seems ridiculous now, it’s really not. I tell anyone, scrape up enough $ to get .1 even. People seem to forget, In September, just over six months ago it was 25,000; and all the haters were saying the same things. And now you have big $ and power involved. And it’s really not even begun to get spicy yet. These fuckers are busy gobbling up all they can, as cheap as they still can. Blackrock is buying hundreds of coins per day. Now the halving; just make your popcorn and watch. All the haters are just butt hurt because they bought and sold and/or just don’t have any BTC, so they attack. Me, I am 100% anti establishment and even with Wall Street involved so is BTC. And that will be my last comment!! LOL
I highly suggest people read Bitcoin Evangelism, or the Bitcoin Standard. The first is a very easy and great book on BTC. Highly recommended.
I've made money on puts on the DJT stock, but am losing this week. There is a conspiracy theory which I actually find plausible.
Last election, the Russians contributed to the NRA which in turn supported the Republicans. This time, the theory is that they or their proxies are supporting this stock with no revenue and no realistic prospects of revenue even after the majority shareholder awarded himself lots of additional shares which he can cash quickly.
I find this conspiracy theory plausible as Trump's foreign policy appears to coincide with Putin's, so obviously, regardless of what they say, he is Putin's preferred presidental candidate. Weaken NASA, delay funding for Ukraine and tell the Ukrainians to give up territory for peace. It's rare for a stock to have its shares rise in value after a dilution. This dilution is not to take over another company or invest, but just to enrich Trump.
