I'm looking at getting into options trading. Think I can make some money. Got a friend that's into options and he's doing well (so he says). Figured I'd take a few bucks and give it a whirl. He's been trading pretty heavy on Nvidia, which is a great stock to do options with since it fluctuates in a pretty tight and predictable band. I own Nvidia (long) and it's done well for me, but he's really cashing in on it.
I've lived around the US but now live in WI where I'm from originally. Thinking about moving to FL at some point. The weather here sucks, but we have family in the area. One son and his family live about 15 miles from us, and the other is an attorney in Chicago - so he's close.
You're right money & wealth. In the final analysis, doesn't mean shit. It's family and friends that mean anything.

Agree 100%, good advice, brother!! Besides AI and other possible tech happenings, this may be the last best chance to make a real killing for a generation or more. The last best chance, same as with Trump, Musk, RFK and the gang taking control. Mohammed Ali, President Trump and Elon Musk are the three Great American Heroes of my lifetime, both of the latter two having brought us back from the brink of Dystopia. Trump twice....

Similar here. My first foray into stocks, penny or otherwise, was the weed market since I'm among the walking wounded from the 60s. Tons o' fun, plus hard not to make money in it at the time. So much so in fact, that I mistakenly thought I knew what I was doing and took about $100K out of my actually lovely steadily growing Index Funds and dove into the the big boy mkts. Of course, I and my picks went right into the toilet. My next smooth move was moving all my investments into CDs etc when I was convinced Trump was going to win in 2016 and the [world?] economy would nosedive. I missed out on the 30% growth of the Funds, altho' I did put $500 on [God bless] President Trump to win at 5 to 1 [smile]. It was a pathetic fiscal compensation for my hubris (stupidity!!), but the joy was world's above anything monetary.
I quit trading years ago but still sit on a few in trust for my kid, waiting for the future to unfold. At 78 I've concluded the only thing in which to invest is gold Maple Leafs. I turned over a couple handfuls to her when I moved in September, average cost I paid was $1400/oz, so I did okay there but otherwise I figure I lost about a hundred grand 'in the mkt'. And I wasn't old enough to blame it on senility, like I admitted to a few months when I purchased a few coins from Provident Metals, a great online vendor, but didn't use my new address and couple days later got a FedEx delivery photo of them sitting on the front porch of my old home in Tucson. Gotta love it!! After riding the inflation train for 20 years I made so much money off the escapees from broken California that bought it, I told them to consider it a tip and keep it, no biggie really, just 20 Silver Eagles.
In West Virginia now, close to my kid in Pittsburgh, where I was born and raised, without crossing the 'woke border' into PA. Don't know where you or any of the folks here live, but it's a little chilly here in 'almost heaven' and I'm already looking for a place on the Redneck Riviera to end my days. Don't know if it'll help any, but from my perspective it's become perfectly clear that money/wealth is ablolutely worthless in the final analysis, honest to god, no shit, really. It's clear to me now that attitude, how one actually feels at any given moment, is the only thing of any importance. Hang tough, youngsters. Cheers!!

i think we are probably going to zero.
i don't think we've been 'scammed'; just abandoned.
chan probably had good intentions.
if you want to make real money, learn about crypto asap and jump in. trump's tarriffs have disrupted the markets enough to pause the crazy crypto-market- ascension we've been expecting. it's been an awesome opportunity to buy dips, avg. down and dca. for crissakes, crypto couldn't be more bullish! the prez of the usa is an outspoken holder.
many consider this timeline - right now - a once in a lifetime opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an industry that will eclipse all others - banking, finance, internet, etc.

dsm6 - Like all of us, I really held high hopes for this company, which is why I invested what I did. Similarly, I invested heavily in ABWN, another sham. The only question left with ALRT is when the company goes under, not if.
Since I began investing in pennies, including this upcoming loss on ALRT, I've about broken even. I made good money day-trading penny weed stocks in the early days, but eventually got out when the run ended.
Think I'm all done investing in these "get rich quick" OTC stocks. For every one that hits, 99 fail.

hi john glen!
dear group, i know most of us are in the same seemingly sinking ship. my position is down 85% ffs. well, i've had plenty of opportunities to get out but have wanted to hodl to the end. so be it, no problem. chan couldn't execute and has failed to be transparent. he and his team are negligent and remiss to his shareholders. if something happens, great. if not, well, caveat emptor.

By the visual ... you "claim" to own 201,000 shares ... SO ... Dumbazz!
I own over 2 MILLION shares ... Dumbazz!
10 TIMES your amount ... Dumbazz!
So, when this stock does tick uP ... Dumbazz,
YOU'LL be LONG GONE! Why? Because you need this $ to move out from your TENT that you currently reside in ... IF, your beacon score will support the move ... Dumbazz!
OHHH ... don't forget your Funk & Wagnel's ... good job looking up a few select words to portray your "supposed" intelligence!
As I've correctly stated ... you ARE a puke, "a fly in the ointment" and ... a poser, Dumbazz!
Admit it Dumbazz, you are jealous! YOU SO WANT to be like me ... but, you'll NEVER be! NEVER ... EVER, Dumbazz!
It must be sooooooooo frustrating to LQQK into the mirror and see those BIG, FAT jaws ... to not run with the big dogs ... to have pictures made with lovely ladies, YET ... at the end of the night ... you sleep ALONE in your tent! DREAM BIGGG Prick! Maybe you'll come back in your next life as "BIG" Wilbur Fudpucker ... according to the lovely ladies ... your FUD is VERY little and rarely EVER puckers! Just saying ...
