I have $100 auto deposit every Monday. I buy good companies or indexes with $150, $50 to set aside for a day trade. The vast majority is fairly safe, but an occasional win helps to bring up the overall avg return.
Buying and selling is fun, like a lottery ticket. But Buffet has proven an index long term will beat the best minds in the business, and that’s not us.
We will win a few, lose a few, but I wouldn’t do this with 6 figures unless that was my play money.
Most of my money on the app is long term holds, high dividends, or steady companies. They’ve lost some as well, but not worried about those, they are spread way out.
I am starting to look at WM, it’s way down and trash is going to keep rolling, I think that will be a good rebound over the next year for a good return. Maybe when we have another -1000 day.
Another has has some serious rebounds the last 2 recessions is TECK, I’ve worked at one of their mines so it was on my radar. They have hit $3 range several times then back to $30-40. I’m watching it for an entry.
