Anyone in here do any trading in stocks or crypto? Just got into it this year and trying to learn one trade at a time. Lots of smart people in this community and always good to learn and hear about the next $ maker! I will say a great investment so far has been Elrond (Egld) token and the project looks incredible and could really take off in the next couple months. I got in around $7. According to a friend who’s invested over $250k in it; I was told to put everything I have into it. My balls aren’t that big. Another hopeful is ORN - Orion. Another one that could really take off. As far as stocks, my company NTRA has really taken off this year and will continue to increase after Q4 earnings :-) Highly recommend but do your own research! She performs very well. I’ve started to put $ into gold/silver mining companies for long term growth as well. Anybody else out there making some ca$h during these crazy times?! Tile in the market is always better than timing the market. You need $ to make $ and I’m still trying to find $! Cheers.

Stock Market/Crypto

I know people in it that continue to print money. Shit doubles and then triples over night, it’s laughable. That being said, my wife is in it. No idea what the hell it is. Numbers and acronyms are all over my head.

From what I’ve heard (people I know who won’t shut up about it 😂😂😂) Stock market during the Trump term was fucking bonkers, millions bonkers. When it crashed in Marchish, people lost what they gained and made it back this year 😂😂😂😂. Fucking air money. The world is so crazy. Who knows what’ll happen the next 4 years. Hell, the way it’s going world wise, who knows what’ll happen by March! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 It’s hilarious really. All it takes is an unplug and it’s gone. Being in Houston, Oil was negative this year! What the fuck is going on 😂😂😂😂😂

The traditional markets is my profession. I’ve spent time in the crypto market but left it because I was not sleeping as the markets never closed. Nothing like falling asleep only to be startled awake so I can see what my holdings are doing every hour throughout the night. I own BTC but don’t trade it. Alt coins I’ve seen many come and go so be careful there. The only ones that have survived is BTC and ETH.

ckay That was insane, I would get up to check CMC around the clock or getting a text to liquidate because some idiots were running it up with a pump and dump. Markets never closing and Asia on the other side made for many sleepness nights!

We were in it hard back in 2016 mainly messing around with alt coins, ico's, and even dabbling with betmex longing/shorting btc which idiotic because if you keep shorting it you'll have a ton of worthlessness if you are correct. We believed in the neo ecosystem back in 2017 but It's all hindsight 20/20 and would have been great if we repositioned into the higher caps. The days of throwing a $500 dart and buying Loopring at .06 and forgetting about it just to see it at $1 some 4-5 months later when everything was going nuts or seeing 8X on DeepBrainChain in 3 weeks was quite the rush. Thankfully we were dabbling before the post Thanksgiving 2018 hype. Want to really $h!t your pants? Try signing back into your exchange and wallets after sitting idle for 6 months that are protected and your backup ipad wont turn on that stored your 2 stage authenticator codes. Blood Pressure and stress levels were running high.

Putterho I just printed all my “recovery” terms for my crypto accounts and out in a safe after hear this! I couldn’t imagine.

ckay

Gotta love losing your 2FA 😂

Putterho

ckay Or getting a new phone and thinking I'm good because I have a dedicated ipad which now can't even update to a current operating system.

Putterho

CKirsch Ohhh I had that too but the security code changes every 60 seconds!!

I use Coinbase. Had a minor issue accessing my account when I got the new iPhone, but everything was fine after a couple days.

Kirsch

Putterho oh shit - that's right - wow - talk about panic mode! Elrond (egld) is starting to take off! Need to make $ to afford my golf habit!

Kirsch

Crazy this got to $42k. I think it hits $120k by year end. Maybe more!

TFixer5

CKirsch Never heard of this one........will have to check it out.

dbenick3

This whole gme thing. Not smart enough to know what is going on here.

ckay

dbenick3 A massive short position was announced publicly, and the Reddit crew decided to punish the short seller by driving the price up hoping for the short to have to close their position at a much higher price on a margin call.

Every phone call into my office is about GME and my head hurts.

dbenick3

ckay I wish I understood this form of gambling better.

Moni_SLO

ckay what currency was it for?

ckay

Moni_SLO no currency GameStop stock. Same thing brewing for AMC.

PureStickGolf

ckay so what ur saying is buy amc. To fund my sim room ?

ckay

PureStickGolf I never said that. However if I had any interest in making a play based on Reddit activity I would be looking at call contracts.

Moni_SLO

The power of the internet! Shit is so wild.

ckay

Moni_SLO absolutely insane. I can’t believe what I’m witnessing. A lot of fearless trades being placed. Some whales out there making it move too. It’ll be interesting to see if and what the SEC does to investigate this and who is uncovered behind some of these million dollar option calls that netted $20+MM in gains
