How much money have you made in stocks,etc?

Its impossible for a human on his own to beat the institutions.


The stock market is merely the transfer of wealth from individual investors to institutions.

Far better to buy something like cryptocurrency

>Its impossible for a human on his own to beat the institutions

Yet I'm up 15-24% in 5 months off of growth stocks?

While the broader market has done 7% for the year?

Stop regurgitating nonsense.

one of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to beat the institutions to do well. sure, they will likely do better than you but you dont have to be the best to make money, you just have to not be among the worst. and that is attainable for anyone willing to put in time and money. the entire idea that you have to be the best to make money is made up by losers looking for an excuse for their own failures.

You just have to be incredibly lucky.

i make some good buys from time to time. stocks are a decentish side income for me (net probably about 5 grand a year for practically no time investment)

i really just buy stocks of things i think are going to trend based on whatever in depth news i read about things im interested in

You sound like a /pol/fag. Can you even articulate who these "institutions" are, and do you actually know how they earn their money? Stop repeating the meme lines from Facebook posts, retard.

There's no evidence that time, resources, effort, education, or willpower has any effect on trading results. Stop deluding yourself that you can outperform the markets if you simply try harder or want it more. It doesn't work that way.

Prove that you cashed out.

$-2,100 beginning in July of 2015
Lost $1,000 in TBEV
Lost $300 in CLV
Lost $200 so far on SFXE
Lost $100 so far in BABA
Lost $700 in CRGP

I've had a few small winners, but they only add up to around $200.
Everytime I buy a stock it falls the next day or over the course of the next few weeks.
I was up 35% in my practice account.
HELP!!!

Wow, someone trades individual stocks seeking short-term gains and loses money.

Shocking, SHOCKING!

>Actually, its shocking that you admit it. Most traders just lie about their returns. Congrats on being honest. Stupid, but honest.

>>1022147
Just like 99% of people you lost money on the stock market. Stop now.

>putting $1000 in a meme stock
>putting $300 on a deadcat bounce

>>1022236

I'm the TD guy I'm just on my phone now
And I was honestly looking for a quick buck. I was pretty stupid now that I think of it. Here is a recent fuck up from my Robinhood account!
Bought SFXE @ $.25
Needless to say I'm taking a break from the markets until I learn to trade.

Start of December it dipped to $53k but it's since jumped back to over original investment ($55k)

Some funds (1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th) opened in '14, others (2nd, 5th, 7th) early '15. Funds 1, 3 & 6 were increased from 5k to 10k in early '15

I probably got the orders mixed up with a bit of that rundown but it's trivial
