Some holds, some active trades.
>How much?
The two positions I made the most on today are probably $145K together, give or take.
>What stocks?
Apple and Twitter.
>Where did you learn?
I didn't take a class or anything. I dumped $50K in a brokerage and paper traded a little, then switched over.

In 2000 Cisco stock was $77 a share. A decade earlier it was (ignoring split) $0.08 a share.
Cisco IPO'd with a market cap of $220 million.
Facebook on the other hand IPO'd with a market cap of $100 BILLION.
With Cisco, you could ride that $200 million market cap up to $2 billion then $20 billion, then $200 billion. Then it can double to $400 billion. Then it can keep going up, as Cisco did in 2000.
How much higher up can Facebook go? To get 10x your money from a $100 billion IPO, it will have to become a trillion dollar company.
Look at Uber. Valuations are fuzzy, but it's said to be worth tens of billions of dollars. In the old days you could ride that up. Now only accredited investors can get the stock.
And even most accredited investors can't get the stock - without paying a very steep markup. It's a very small club that gets into such things early.

This is the same as the argument about the $25,000 day trader limit.
While the SEC would claim that policy (and the one you mention) is designed to "protect" investors, is this really the case?
Because a lot of people seem to believe these policies amount to "rigging the market" in favor of the wealthy.
