I gained ~19% on my current stocks in just the last month. You're telling me there's no really solid ETF that can land me 15% over a year?

>>1658202
I already have a lot in CX (Cemex) which is the largest cement manufacturer in north america. No telling who trump uses for the wall though

Can't people just use their brains to figure these sorts of things out.

Baffling.

If you want a solid, dependable in the long run ETF, buy QQQ

>>1658211
I don't know what you're even getting at.

>>1658215
Why your tiny sample with a selected timeframe can't be scaled up?

>>1658226
If you noticed, I've only had stocks for a month now via robinhood. I don't understand most terms. What do you mean scaled up? I put $1600 in and have $1900 currently. If it stays at $1900 It's still 18%, if it keeps growing the % is higher.

What am I missing here? I still don't get how 15% a year is difficult...thought it was a pretty conservative number. I see people make 40% returns constantly on this board

>>1658233
Those people are making up their returns. One lucky month can't be replicated reliably. There's a reason we aren't all billionaires and it's because a 40% return is unrealistic.

>>1658248
What is a realistic annual return on investment then? I thought it was 15%...

>>1658251
7-8%

Read investopedia or investment related books to learn more if you want.

Well, what companies has Trump worked with in the past?

>>1658233
I'll take the bait. Rate of return and risk are correlated. To read more about it read 'efficient frontier'. What you should probably do is either invest in blue chip stocks with 3-5% dividend yields and find some shorts to hedge yourself against the market. As for returns, a good number to shoot for is probably 7-8%. Anything above 12%ish is not going to be sustainable. Also, you can try bonds with high coupon rates.

>>1658193
Trading stock isn't worth it unless you're a millionaire + fuckin retards

>>1658193
Also, don't forget to diversify. You want to have about 20 stocks in your portfolio, 10 long 10 short.
The amount that you choose to short or long can vary depending on how you think the market will perform in the coming future. If you think it will do better than what people are saying go long, but if you think its going to be worse, short more.

>>1658259
damn that sucks. This is where I got 15 btw (google instant answer)

I'll probably just do more risky stocks for months at a time & take that cap gains hit then. 8% isn't even worth it once savings interest rates go up

LIBQQ to tha moon.

Really though presidents don't control the economy. Don't buy renewable energy stock or yeildcos hes gonna take away the tax credits.

He's pro fossil fuels. He will probably be pro nuclear if he has to be.

Otherwise don't worry about him.

>>1658309
dont worry about the biggest businessman in the nation becoming president
get a load of this guy

>>1658321
seriously look at the fucking dow since he's been elected. He's already boosting stock through deals. Imagine when he's actually inaugurated.

Trump has made formerly-obsolete stocks relevant again. I know I haven't been in stocks long, but you're still an idiot if you can't recognize this

>>1658193
Small cap index fund and Caterpillar

Its been a very good past few months

Energy won't be a good deal. If his policies are put into practice energy will end up centralized. It'll be as safe as putting money into your local power co-op, and just as exciting.

>>1658959
Boeing closed up yesterday.

>>1658251
4% at most

>>1658251
15% is a very reasonable return if you are actively trading and you know what you are doing. The 7-8% thing is a meme. An individual investor should be able to get at least 10% without much variation.

>>1658337
You're an idiot. Seriously. Pull your money out and put your head in an oven.
