Does anyone here invest in stocks?
    #23420562 - 07/07/16 03:35 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I've got some money that's just sitting collecting dust and I'm looking to put it to work instead of just sitting in my bank account.

Any advice on the easiest way to keep track of my investments or who to invest with.

Working with ~ $5,000

Index funds are usually the safest bet, unless there is a financial collapse during that year. S&P500 usually nets around 10% or so per year, and there are fewer management fees than most mutual funds. This is a long term kind of thing though, and your interest builds more if you keep putting money into it over a long period of time of course.

I don't really fuck around with penny stocks, though you can get loaded off that stuff if you know what you're doing. It's pretty much gambling at that point.

I also have ~$2200 in bitcoin right now. Risky as fuck, but I figure I'm going to hold on to it for 20 or 30 years, and if it's value collapses I wont get mad because it was a gamble to begin with. Putting a couple hundred into it every 3 months or so.

I don't really know what I'm doing at all, but I'm saving quite a bit. I put 12% of my pay into an IRA, and then another 14% set aside for non-IRA investments. I'm sure there are ways out there to avoid management fees and stuff, but I'm not aware of them. Something to look into.

I second the notion of no penny stocks.

PM me with some details of what you are looking to do. Short term? Long term?

I made a small fortune off the stock market in highschool, while concurrently investing in cryptocurrencies. My advice, start small, play it safe, don't get greedy.

I don't invest in stocks yet, but I am going to soon. I am interested in trying my hand at buying stock options. I have been studying it for the last month and soon I will try a simulation with fake money to get ready to invest real money. Hopefully I have a talent for it and I can make enough "Fuck You" money to quit my job.

I only buy stock in the company I work for because we get a 5% discount on stocks and they can do a pretax payroll deduction so it. Otherwise I wouldn't invest in the stock market because I personally have no idea what the hell I would be doing.

Besides that I have a 401k set up which seems to be going up every year  :shrug:

On July 12th the program is set to halve bitcoin production. Meaning only half as many bitcoins will become available in a given amount of time and mining.

I don't know that it will double or not. Here's to hoping it does though, that would be nice.

Coinbase is what I use. I move them to a private wallet hosted on my computer afterwards.

I got a few thousand in Bank of America stocks. Got them at rock bottom so the hope is one day they'll rebound from their current pathetic state (at around $13 a stock) and join the other solid bank entities that hover in that $50 to $60 neighborhood.

I do, but its through my employers retirement program. It seems to me to be a no-brainer, as they match a small amount of my contributions (5%), and its all pre-tax.

Bovada accepts bitcoins as payment. If I hit big on an actual btc gambling site I will transfer the funds to bovada and then cash out with them and they send me a check in USD.
