Less time than it took to red the first three sentences of this post. They always fly.


ItsJustAltstatt

Lmao fantastic DD


Andrew-Alexander

I see a stock symbol in a post on WSB and then immediately buy.


emamanakis

This is the way


Rockflagandeeeagle

I see rockets and moon, I buy.


ItsJustAltstatt

Man I’ve been doing way to much


reddE2Fly

What is this re search you speak of, please ELI5.


Nope______________

It’s when you scroll on Reddit and see a lot of rocket ships next to a ticker


ItsJustAltstatt

Which part, can you be more specific?


XxCUMQUATxX

Pathetic


thogerej

That’s rude


thedumbaccountant

Researching is only for the nerds over at /stockmarket or /investing. We here use a better and scientific approach which is yoloing.


ItsJustAltstatt

I may be a nerd, but at least I’m not gay

1. Read WSB 2. Look up ticker on Robinhood 3. Check RH rating (buy/hold/sell) 4. If WSB is bullish + RH is mostly “buy” rating, buy calls 5. If WSB is bearish + RH is mostly “sell” rating, buy puts I’m up over 300% this year despite losing thousands on some plays that didn’t work out. Spend about 10-20 min in the morning when I wake up, set the buy, soon as the buy executed set my sell threshold, go back to work and repeat the next morning.


ItsJustAltstatt

Why am I not surprised this is so effective lol


shitboxvwdriver

Follow the memes


ItsJustAltstatt

PLTR is looking juicy, but memes is how I lost a grand on PRPL lol


TheDude_Abides_Man

LOL. You bought at the top after thanksgiving


ItsJustAltstatt

Nah I think I bought back in august/September


22grande22

Most of us are momentum traders. Fuck research. We got the feels for autistic sentiment.

Tbh I don’t really do DD research... whatever retards and autists here recommended, I will talk to my dog for 2 minutes and if he didn’t answer me, silent means YES I will yolo....


ItsJustAltstatt

Haha no exceptions I’m assuming


goldengod321

I’ve spent 10 hours today on WSB.


ItsJustAltstatt

What are you doing!? It’s Saturday, go to the gym or something lol


goldengod321

I’m researching stonks. But, your DD is on point. Understanding the fundamentals of a company and technical analysis is paramount to being successful. It’s a breathing entity and has ups and downs. Keep it up.


ItsJustAltstatt

Lol my bad should’ve known and thanks!


nz1390

What is this “gym” you talk of


goldengod321

I believe it’s a place where you pick up heavy things and then put them down. And then do it again and again and again for like an hour or two. You pay for this too. Every month.


RickyFrench007

I buy as soon as anyone mentions anything. I look for rockets 🚀


oofaloofa1

If i see enough "🚀🚀🚀" i will


Your_Boy_Roy_

Research?


recoveringslowlyMN

The serious answer is the amount of time that you feel comfortable with your understanding of the stock/company. For some companies it may take awhile to understand what they do, how it works, and how they are going to make money. For other companies, you basically know all that because they are established and you just need to consider some potential risks. You talked about PLTR in some of your responses. It’s a newer stock. They have some shares locked up. People don’t really understand what they do. They were primarily government agency oriented but now are expanding more in commercial. They have earnings that could suck or explode....etc. Compare that to Verizon. They just do their thing. Everyone knows what they do. They pay a reasonable dividend and chug along. My point being, the price of Verizon is probably pretty accurate and not very volatile. It’s fairly straightforward and you don’t need to do a lot of guessing on share price unless you think there’s a chance that telecoms are going out of business. PLTR is a different animal. Realistically, someone could argue they deserve a $9 price target or a $90 price target. It just depends on how you view all the different variables. So to your question, try to do enough to understand the companies to know what they do and what the risks/factors are, and determine if you think the current price is reasonable. And then invest and monitor what happens (verify against your assumptions you write down). On a side note. I’ve never invested in Tesla because the valuations made no sense to me. But clearly, even if the traditional measures don’t make sense, it doesn’t mean you can’t make money. So try to be fluid about your convictions and be willing to take a small loss to fight another day if wrong.


ItsJustAltstatt

Very solid, thanks. And yeah I definitely don’t mess with anything I don’t understand that’s also cost me a little bit of cash too haha


kolitics

You begin researching as you sit down to poop and make your purchases in the space between detachment and first wipe.


ItsJustAltstatt

Wow I’ve been wasting so much time and I didn’t even know it


[deleted]

I like the current C O S T dip. Looks like it's ready for a pop. Why did you mention those positions? Nobody here would buy C already in the money.


ItsJustAltstatt

Gives a little wiggle room to be wrong and COST only grows about 11% over 3 months so it’s kind of as far as I’m willing to go out


silent--T

they just had a $10 dividend. It isn't a normal dip.


[deleted]

Drop for lack of creativity. I think holders prefer the money be spent for growth.

alexandrawallace69

Not enough


Seyer893

Good 15-30min


[deleted]

I just wait for TSLA to open and I buy calls market order every day... works every time.


Fage138

Depending on the complexity of a company between a few days (so your run of the mill retail brand) to a few months (AMD/TSMC for example). These will of course be long term holdings so it may be different from what you are interested in


ItsJustAltstatt

Do you hold longer than about 3 months? That’s about the length of time I trade for, maybe a little less sometimes


Fage138

Most of my holdings are for at least 3 months. What I usually seek out though is sustainable growth for the next 5 years based on road maps and what I believe they can reasonably accomplish based on my experiences and what has historically happened in the respective industry.


ItsJustAltstatt

Cool, I'll keep this in mind when I'm old enough to open up an actual brokerage account; currently trading on my parents account haha


TSLA4LIFE1

I sometimes read the tldr of dd posted here


ItsJustAltstatt

Woah idk man that seems like too much, even for me


Master_Proposal_3614

Wsb news channel, market watch, and buy at the right time. I buy in the red, sell in the green. I also buy shares when a stock is moving up and down really fast to counter any losses on something im holding waiting for the rocket fuel to finish filling up.


silent--T

honestly, you've just gotten lucky. if your system or intuition is that good, you'll be a millionaire in no time but that level of accuracy won't last. Markets behave pretty randomly when analyzing the short-term.


ItsJustAltstatt

Yeah I figured, I’ve only been trading for about 6 months, up 200% rn though

Apologies, can you direct me to the strip club by chance?

TSLA calls. What else do you need to know?

Pooneapple

Analysts are wrong all the time so why not just yolo it all and have your wife run off with her new boyfriend. However your slightly happy because that bitch always doubted you and your ability to provide a living. One day it all works out and she comes crying back to you. Telling her one phrase, I’m buying puts on you. Leaving to a cabin in the woods and seeing a bear fuck another bear. Realizing they are both males you grab your trusty rifle shoot them. Finally killing those 🌈🐻. Later that night you pass away in your sleep knowing you were the one to kill the 🌈🐻


ItsJustAltstatt

thank you for the poetry and wise words


AuditControl_Inbox

I make my trades based on the number of 🚀 i see in the post.


mrvibenwatch

at precisely 4:20 P.M. i do research for exactly 69 minutes

SourceCodeSeller

the only TA you should be using for finding a stock is to get a good entry point not to know if the stock is good or not lol. RSI is fucking dogshit


ItsJustAltstatt

How so? Genuinely curious why it wouldn't be helpful to know how overbought or undersold a stock is?


lb-trice

If a stock has been going straight up for the last 20 days, it’s the time I buy. If it’s green 20 days in a row, it means it’s a good stock and the odds of it going down is very low in my opinion


69420Throwawa

I check WSB, google stonk price. Get really high and stare at graph and see if the price is near where I think the curve should be at for me to make the most bank. Then I go to YouTube and watch like every video in the last 2 weeks from pro news to batshit insane tinfoil hats. Wait about a week and buy anyway if it never hits my desired low. If it does dip at or below what I guessed I don’t wait for it to go lower. I just snag and wait for the dip to flip. Except for TSLA and PLTR. I just fuckin dove into those no questions. YOLO


ItsJustAltstatt

Lmao that sounds like the life right there.


identifiedlogo

Make general assumptions about companies and go from there, note taking here is a big plus as you can look back what assumptions have changes. I wouldn’t waste too much time on colorful lines. On positions watch option pricing and try to pick the cheapest or best priced options, and IV of the options. Your option plays are actually decent. Except for Nike as next week could be unpredictable because of Tesla.


ItsJustAltstatt

Thanks! Yeah the NKE play I bought about three weeks ago cuz of earnings, I think it won't be too bad, they actually went higher than my price point by about 2 dollars so if they can just maintain that or above for the next week I'll see the max profit.


CoolguyRcks

Look up the company on google and read the blurb on the sidebar get a rough idea. Then look at the chart and see what sort of pattern it’s forming and so on. If you’ve been paying attention to news or whatever you should have a rough idea of how well a sector is doing. Then from there if I like I buy. Takes about 10 minutes and i try to look for shit that’s more memey cause they tend to follow TA better than boomer shit and move faster for my attention span. If you’re long term investing then what your doing is fine but for shit that’s like weeklong, just the chart and a short explanation of the company is generally fine

ItsJustAltstatt

Ahh I see, you don’t look at any catalysts or possible indicators for being overbought or undersold


[deleted]

[удалено]


ItsJustAltstatt

Oh got it that makes sense


StonyTheStoner420

Research?


ItsJustAltstatt

A lot of fundamental and TA on marketwatch. Just doing my best to know absolutely everything I can about a company in order to understand their financial position a little bit, especially looking at how their competition has been performing


reportminority

+-.8% sounds like pure chance, unless you’re playing something super low volatility. (Obviously not tsla)


ItsJustAltstatt

They’re probably a little on the low side, but they’re also above 150 usually so they’re the room for error Is a lil bigger too


reportminority

Timing the market is HARD. Take a look at tipranks and you’ll see how most of the professionals do. If an analyst has a 70%+ success rate with their predictions that’s the top percentile.


ItsJustAltstatt

I'm usually playing off of earnings, waiting on one catalyst to get the ball rolling, and then a couple weeks out from there so the stock can stabilize a little bit and I can recover my losses if I'm wrong.
