Acorns looks neat, I might try them out. Thanks anon. I'm a broke econ student though so can't help you much with investing

Buy ethereum

Fuck ethereum. Ya I said it.

I've had pretty bad luck every time I ever fucked with cryptocurrency. The price fluctuations are certainly lucrative, and I love the idea of 'fuck the government and the banks this is my money', but I just don't trust it.

Why what's wrong with it?

Literally in the same position as you OP, I want to get into investing but no idea what to start, and don't have much money to go with.
That acorns shit looks interesting just to throw a little bit of money at and see if it goes anywhere.

I've also got a stock market simulator downloaded on my phone, gonna invest some imaginary money before I start dropping large dollar amounts, but I'd still be interested in how to invest smaller amounts. I'm sure there's a way, but I dunno.

I am not a biz dude at all, but I play poker.

There is one solution when you don't know much about poker or when you don't want to risk real money:

PLAY MONEY

So you must open a traders account (practice money) learn about pips and shit, I don't have a clue what I am talking about, anyway you can "gamble" with stocks/gold/whatever or learn how to make profit.

Save your $100 and invest it in some shit that you can sell for profit. Like 2nd hand electronics or whatever. Try to save more monies and when you are making profits with your fake stock account, then you can deposit some real monies over there.

practice and patience

>for anyone who has useless cryptocurrency, I can give you dollars/euros btc for it.

buy ETF's that hold a good sized position in google.

I know that this is solid advice, and I've considered doing it many times, but I just can't give a shit about fake money. If I could do something as small as take $100 and turn it into $200, which seems like a pretty reasonable goal, it would put some tangible rewards into my hand and feel way more satisfying than a scoreboard of fake money that I "own".

Hold on

There's simulators? I gotta try this. Which one do you use?

>>1262145
I found one called Best Broker on iOS that seems to be pretty solid. I found it by searching "stock market simulator" in the market so I'm sure you could find it if you're on Android.

On ios. Thanks man
What exactly are your goals with it? I'm fairly new to trading. I've had some stocks earlier, but not much.

I guess I get the point of the app, but I'm sure there are smarter ways to use it.

Basically, I've decided that fake money just isn't interesting to me. I'm looking at messing around with penny stocks right now. Like I said in my other post, if I can turn a small amount of real money into a slightly larger amount of real money I'll be happier than I would be playing with fake money.

Think Or Swim
has a free paper trade platform
Its the exact same thing you'd be using with money in the brokerage account.
