Stock Market Advisor - Interest Thread

[Splitback]

Hi all,

I opened this thread to inquire about potential interest in a possible service I may open. Several companies offer stock market advice, but that information often comes with a high-premium price tag upwards of $1,000 per year.
I'd like to offer a similar service—weekly stock market picks and day trade alerts where I tell you the best and most profitable stocks to buy and to sell, at a steeply discounted price. I'm unsure of how much I would charge, but I would do my best to make it affordable for the general public here on MCM.

If you're interested, please leave your thoughts down below. Those with a reply may receive a discount if this service opens.

Spoiler: More Information/Qualifications

For the past three and a half years, I have been trading and investing in the stock market. I began investing into long-term equity positions three and a half years ago, charting stocks for day trades two years ago, and have been trading options for the past year.
To those unfamiliar with market terms, long-term equity investing is essentially a low-risk investment into medium to large companies—these are meant to be held for several years— while options are high-risk trades that can be bought and sold in the same day.

Spoiler: Personal Profits

Options Portfolio: +$7,424 YTD (412% return)
Long-Term Equity Portfolio: -$1,781 YTD (-14.01% return); although this portfolio is negative, it is still beating the general market by approximately 5.5% (compared with the S&P 500 index)

stock market has been absolutely obliterated, having lost around 35% of its value in about a month. a crash is the best time to enter a market, especially a panic-driven crash; there aren't any long-term, fundamental changes to the businesses that have resulted in the downturn, but rather mere fear. i personally will be investing the majority of my savings into the stock market, most likely on blue-chip companies which are most likely going to rebound within a few months or years.

Correct, but that’s only a gold rush when a vaccine has been found.

Economies worldwide are paralyzed as quarantines and curfews practically shutdown all businesses. You’re gonna have to wait since this is only continue getting worse.

I think Lotus is partially right and I would wait up on that Smart. If things get worse the stock market will continue to go lower and lower until it eventually gets on an upward trend again. Just yesterday the market lost a further 5% after growing around 7% for a few days. This will likely be the case for awhile.

no one knows when it's gonna hit the bottom and start rising again. what I do know is that at this point, there is minimal risk. Even if I don't hit the bottom, the price is already low enough where I will be making money once the economy recovers.

You can make educated guesses with reasonable assumptions to predict what could happen.

You should wait instead of getting into it now, really.

Let’s take a look at this graph:

What do we see? The number of cases is rising, but the gradient is also getting steeper, meaning that the rate of cases is growing exponentially.

Some countries are starting to get it under control, but if you’re probably dealing in US stocks, you should stay away for now. The whole country is in complete meltdown as they’re getting thousands of new cases daily without any control. Their economy? Pardon my French, it’s fucked. And it’s only going to get worse as more restrictions are applied to local businesses preventing them to function leading to the supply chain getting choked. I could go on and on... but let’s end this spiel for now.

You’re making informed decisions by taking in the data you have around you while considering the risks that could occur. Not simply gambling in a casino.

what I do know is that at this point, there is minimal risk. Even if I don't hit the bottom, the price is already low enough where I will be making money once the economy recovers.

It isn’t minimal risk, I personally believe it’s only going to go down. Just wait and cut your losses, you’ll earn more money in the end if that’s your goal.

To be honest, I don't believe that you are qualified and experienced enough to give out advice for trading, even if it's dirt cheap. Trading for 3 years is not long at all. It also seems like you are trying to cram as much business jargon as possible into your post, which tells me you're inexperienced.

On the contrary, a bearish market is the perfect time for those fortunate enough to have money to invest, to buy now while things are low and profit when the stocks rise back up. The stock market could very well completely collapse, the economy could stir out of control, but the fact of the matter is, no one algorithm or discussion will accurately depict how the masses (us commonfolk who spend money and such) will behave. The market is volatile in many regards, its difficult to know with any certainty if we should have faith in it, but history has given a "general trend" that the market does recover and in the "long term", global economy rises.[DOUBLEPOST=1585037574][/DOUBLEPOST]

In addition to this @OP , there are many youtube videos out there that give this same "advice" you're looking to profit from for FREE. They are much more knowledgeable and make the concepts easier to understand, and explicitly state to not be experts or licensed professionals of any sort. I don't think you'll find a good market here on MCM or anyone in this "MC business community" to even try giving advice on what to buy and what to sell. We all have resources we can look to for free, and you are just trying to profit off of us trying to get by.

You criticize him for only trading for three years but you fail to realize that over three years somebody could make a lot of money. Stock trading has the most "business jargon" that you could ever see, go watch a really complex stock trading video and I doubt you will understand it. I don't think you are anyone on this site has any room to come into someones thread and claim they aren't qualified or are inexperienced.

In regards to your statement about this is one of the best times to invest. Yes, a stock market crash is a good time to invest. However, right this very moment isn't the time and that's due to one reason, this is going to get worse, the stock market is going to decrease further.

 

[Ghast]

Just saying.

I just have a trained eye for seeing people that are cramming nonsense to sound smarter (e.g. the first sentence). The thing is, the people who talk like that are the ones that are usually inexperienced. I have seen people like this all the time in real life - people who use a bunch of business jargon but aren't business smart whatsoever.

I used to trade when I was 16 but I stopped because I became uninterested with it. Even though I'm not a trader right now, but have a decent amount of knowledge about trading from school. At least enough to know that this person isn't qualified and experienced enough to sell advice.

It seems that you don't have much knowledge about the stock market yourself - so explain how he is qualified.

You're more than welcome to your own opinion. School doesn't teach you everything. I'm doing what I love and making dam good money from it, couldn't give a shit what you think about me or others. I'm done replying to you.
