    Great video TechLead. How about a video on the tax implication of day trading? There are no good videos out there on this topic which I think is a shame . As you know, day trading gets taxed at your ordinary tax rate. So for someone like yourself who is at the top tax bracket, it makes 0 sense to day trade. For instance, if you made 100k, you only get to keep about 50-60k after state and federal taxes But If you lost 100k, you eat the full lose with only a paltry 3k deduction and some loss carryforward for a few years. If you think about, it's a crappy game to pay because when you win, you essentially risk $1 to win 50-60 cents, but when you lose, it's $1 for $1. The risk reward makes absolutely no sense. THERE ARE NO VIDEOS OR ARTICLES THAT HIGHLIGHT THIS FACT. Can you imagine going to a casino where you get charged 40-50% on your winnings every time you cash out? No one would ever go to the casino unless they had a true gambling problem! If you can illustrate this salient point, I think that video will kill it in terms of viewership because it will be very unique and useful for anyone considering day trading as a side hustle or full time job.

To address the potential loss of funds and strained relationships, it's crucial to prioritize communication, transparency, and sound financial decisions. Maintaining open discussions about financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment strategies can help prevent such situations from arising. Additionally, seeking professional financial advice and planning ahead can contribute to a more secure financial future and healthier relationships.

    I started investing in the stock market because of dividends. What matters, in my opinion, is that if you invest and earn more money in addition to dividends, you will be able to live off of dividends without selling. It implies that you can pass that on to your children, giving them a head start in life. I've invested over $600k in dividend stocks over the years; I continue to buy more today and will continue to do so until the price lowers even further.

    I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years.

Learn how to determine intrinsic value first (regardless of your trading time horizon). 4.

    This makes day-trading sound worse than it really is. The problem is first, it seems like he never had a system in place, but rather, he messed around with a bunch of random indicators and tools. The chart he even shows looks like a mess; the simpler your chart is, the better because it is easier to follow (at least for most the charts I observe). Second, although it says day-trading, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems he was investing considering it looks like he held RJI for multiple months. No offence, but day-trading is suppose to only happen within a day and you're not supposed to hold longer than when the market is available. If you are holding overnight and for weeks, that is called swing-trading, which brings me to my next point: if you do swing trade, please set a stop loss at a resistance level because his strategy seemed to let his trades run. I don't even want to get into how he decided to follow a random website (not sure how legitimate they are) before considering yahoo or CNBC for stock market news because even in investing, it is better off that you take advice with a grain of salt because, in reality, the market is an entity in itself and typically, those publishing the advice will have an agenda for themselves (presumably). Lastly, stop-losses are imperative, but as he described, he got stop-hunted which is typically why it is always advised that you set stop losses either below your support/resistance level or at a certain percentage of your capital (typically 1% is what is advised). I'm not sure how experienced he was in trading and where he is now, but the way he described his trading experience is obviously awful and I don't aim to put him down, but rather, to inform anyone who is interested in starting to trade. There is a large learning curve that takes years of practice just like any other craft. Now obviously it did not end up well for him, but it seems he ran into the trading practice guns blazing which well not end up well for anyone. Point is, obviously not everyone will win in the market and the odds are mostly stacked against you, but depending on how willing you are to be persistent in the market, you can succeed, but it takes hours of studying and practice. Most importantly, do not go into the stock market guns blazing as he did.

    @@photonsponge For myself, I learnt to swing trade by actually adapting day-trading strategies. By that, day-traders tend to use support/resistance levels with moving averages, and so, I applied their methods on a longer-time frame. It is also worth noting that there is much more consideration to take place considering you aren't getting in and out within minutes, but presumably weeks. To educate myself, I learnt from places like investopedia and whatnot regarding trading strategies rather than advice, because in comparison to strategies, they aren't selling you a stock, but rather, actually informing you. Another way I learnt is from channels like Capital.Com, Trading 212, and Ricky Guiterrez because they show you their thought processing and trading ideas. These I would say are the best resources, and one aspect I did take in when swing-trading which is not often mentioned is fundamental news because for myself, I feel it is much safer to not get into a trade when a report or something is going to be released considering it can go either way. Overall, the best resources I would say are the ones who teach you strategies and show you their thought processing like some of the channels I recommended above. I would like to say that I am not a parent nor am I working full-time as I am a student so I do not carry the responsibilities that you do, so I have more time on my hands. Nevertheless, I guess the best way to teach yourself is to learn from places which offer strategies. I would like to point out that I think this is quite different from listening to places who tell you where a market is moving because they show you what led to that conclusion. Sorry if the message seems all over the place, it's like 7 in the morning and I just answered based on what came to my head.

    You only lose if you sell. I have a similar story with AAPL stock. I sold after a 45% downturn over a 4 month period, and lost the rest in day trading. If I had just done nothing, and still owned the AAPL shares today, I'd be worth roughly $1.5M. Selling at the bottom is the exact opposite of what should have been done. Buy at the dip, and wait for the rebound, and you will never lose as long as your investment is in a strong growth oriented company.

    Which sector/s have you bought in? Have you already sold? I have "lost" about 60 % on one stock. But I believe in the company so I bough little more shares, not too many because it´s important not to put all the eggs in the same basket. Maybe it takes 5 or more years before I will get the money back or earn on it, but I´m not worry anymore. So always buy stocks/papers you also believe in in the longer term. Don´t sell if you don´t have to (if it´s not crypto, bacause the values there are not so based on fundamentals).

    I also tried to do some technical analysis on crypto, and try to catch entry points, do some pattern analysis. But it turns out, you can only really tell the pattern once it has played out. I took a couple of losses and stopped trading, and switched to buy and hold. Much easier to manage, and much healthier. Day traders are slaves to the market, their mood goes up and down with the price. Buy and hold is much more chill.

    And people and hedgefunds who have been doing this for years and have a mental network of many different tactics and routines. Yeah, no shit you're going to get creamed playing Chess against someone who's been doing it for years. Yes, I'm a professional trader. I'm one of the few, apparently (it's not professional if you're not making a living from it). But I know for a fact it is possible to turn this into a business. Most people just don't have the balls or brains for it. They can't control their emotions. They can't handle years of losses. They can't stick with their vision when every single piece of shit peasant in their life tells them they can't make it, that they're a degenerate gambler, etc. (As if I'd ever listen to the poor on how to become rich.) But to me, this was college. This was my way to attain freedom. I knew it could take years to get good. But I knew the alternative was to be a slave for the rest of my life. I would have killed myself before giving up. Btw, I call people who try to predict reactions to earnings and news, "holy grail seekers". You all get killed in the end. I go after consistent, frequent wins, not big ones. Pigs get slaughtered. Pigeons fly free. Peck, don't scarf.
