I been eating off of SPY lately. We got unfinished business.
Do you feel you more comfortable being a long term investor and a trader? Word is traders tend to lose more on the long run. I know Fab you built a large cash base on long term investing.
For most people, long term investing is the easiest way to build wealth. You don’t really need any special skills—just throw money at the top tech stocks or the biggest companies by market cap, and odds are you’ll get around 15% returns a year. Do that for 25 years, and you’ll be set. Just DCA and don’t overthink it. Stop watching news and dont panic sell. You will win.
Trading, though—that’s a whole different game. It’s a skill you’ve gotta develop. Anyone can learn it, but it takes real effort. There's a reason why 9 out of 10 traders are not profitable. You have to put in the work and get good at reading the market. The upside? Way higher risk/reward. if you become that 10% then everything changes. Yesterday I nailed a reversal on QQQ puts—got in at $1.30, out at $8. I posted it in my channel.
The cool part is, you don’t have to master trading right away. You just need someone solid to learn from.
With investing, it might take years for a $130 stock to hit $800. In trading, moves like that happen almost daily. And honestly, the risk can even feel lower sometimes. One of the guys in my Discord, Bowie, trades a $10K account and pulls in $1500 a day. That's 15% return daily.
There's 800 pdfs we posted in discord. Read them. It will help you.
Long term investing is the best way to invest. Day trading is riskier, but I'm 100% comfortable with the stocks I'm flipping (F, SPY).

Additional note: Even when you learn a day trading strategy, you still need to have conviction in your plays. It is not for the risk adverse.

The tarrifs announcement allowed me to jump into oklo
Oklo
imagine buying some leaps back in $10 range.
and for those who don't have much capital and want something boom or bust - buy leaps brehs. 1+ year out. just buy 1 con. risk to reward ratio is awesome on these leaps. at worst you just lost $700-$1000. if it pans out you can 10x if you find a gem like oklo.
You sure did. I saw an alert smh
