TIME TO LEARN YOU SOME KNOWLEDGE Chances are, if you've only dabbled in stop losses, you've had your stops just barely hit just for the stock to immediately blow up. Or, if you use stops often, you probably see this somewhat frequently and don't know what you're doing wrong. Here's the answer: Nothing. The stock market is a rigged game, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you can avoid thSee more

So a while back, I mentioned that I was watching $AMC to buy calls under $14.50. For those of you who don't know, I did a total of two option plays and blew up my Webull account to under $30. I've been doing very small trades to the point that I was able to afford an OTM $AMC call, so that's what I did. Given my history and unfamiliarity with options, I was bound to make mistakes, but I wanted to shSee more

Hey all! If you didn't get a chance to read the article yesterday, or if you just want to support me in general, I also made a YouTube video as a sort of TL;DR for the article. This video just went live, and I'd love it if you gave it a watch. Like I said before, I'm not quite ready to go back 100% into YouTube, but I'll be there soon. ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsqDL8xZndw $PYPL See more

Good morning! A couple days ago, I made a post about $PYPL , and after some research and deliberation, I made the decision to buy. This is one of the few stocks I'd be comfortable buying right now, for a handful of reasons. These are the buy now, pay later model; good fundies; and insider buying. I wrote an article going into much greater detail about this decision, and I'd really appreciate it if ySee more

Good morning, Public. @tcardizzle made a rebuttal to my support of Technical Analysis which has forced me to make a rebuttal to his rebuttal. My favorite part of his post is when he quoted long term investors for opinions on TA. Of course they're going to think TA is bad... they don't use it. TA is a lot of work, planning, and research. If you don't specialize in it, then you won't find success wSee more

Hi everyone! So a lot of you have probably seen me post #technicalanalysis to justify a prediction of a #ticker 's chart. My charts tend to have a lot going on, which can make it difficult to digest everything that's happening. Basically, it really helps to know what you're looking at. While this is far from my only resource that I've learned from, a See more

I know content-wise, I've been MIA for quite some time. That said, I just made a new article about the #crypto space. It's about #NEAR ! More specifically, it's about the NEAR Protocol Token. NEAR is trying to be the next Etherium. I know what you're thinking - we've all heard that before! That said, NEAR's followers seem to be extremely passionate about the project, and it's managed to set itself apSee more

Last week I mentioned that I'm going to start uploading two videos a week: one regular video and one short. Here's my first short: https://youtu.be/Fss1Kk2epQgI've been very interested in technical analysis, and as I grow more comfortable with it, I've been sharing more about it. I know a lot of you are interested in TA but don't know where to start. That's what this series of videos is for: easSee more

Richard! Why did you just liquidate everything for a loss? I'm not insane I promise haha. Okay so I've been pretty low key about it on here because I wasn't 100% sure about this strategy and I didn't want people following my trades, but you might've noticed that I've been going crazy into triple leveraged stocks. The way that I came to the portfolio I've been using is by finding a diversified seSee more

Here's the CEI Chart where every candle is one minute. Look at the bottom. That shows volume. Green means it had a net gain, red means it had a net loss. The bigger the bars on the bottom, the more volume there was in that minute. Here's a pro tip. On the one minute time frame, if you see massive sporadic spikes, that's more than likely the big money (hedgies) adding to their position. They want tSee more

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Man, that #AmateurInvesting sure is good at losing money. I wish I could lose it as fast as he does!" If so, then today's your lucky day! 😁 When I started off with content creation, I was making weekly #PortfolioUpdate s, but the issue with this is that the content was rushed, there wasn't much substance, and nobody really cared haha. I'm going to start trying ouSee more

Market data powered by Xignite.

All investments involve the risk of loss and the past performance of a security or a financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. You should consult your legal, tax, or financial advisors before making any financial decisions. This material is not intended as a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to purchase or sell securities, open a brokerage account, or engage in any investment strategy.

Product offerings and availability vary based on jurisdiction.

Stocks, ETFs, Options, Bonds.
Self-directed brokerage accounts and brokerage services for US-listed, registered securities, options, and Bonds, except for treasury securities offered through Jiko Securities, Inc., are offered to self-directed customers by Open to the Public Investing, Inc. (“Public Investing”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA & SIPC. Additional information about your broker can be found by clicking here. Public Investing is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Public Holdings, Inc. (“Public Holdings”). This is not an offer, solicitation of an offer, or advice to buy or sell securities or open a brokerage account in any jurisdiction where Public Investing is not registered. Securities products offered by Public Investing are not FDIC insured. Apex Clearing Corporation, our clearing firm, has additional insurance coverage in excess of the regular SIPC limits. Additional information can be found here.

Options.
Certain requirements must be met in order to trade options. Options can be risky and are not suitable for all investors. Options transactions are often complex, and investors can rapidly lose the entire amount of their investment or more in a short period of time. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing in options. Refer to the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before considering any options transaction. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request. Tax considerations with options transactions are unique and investors considering options should consult their tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy.

Options Order Flow Rebate.
If you are enrolled in our Options Order Flow Rebate Program, Public Investing will share 50% of our estimated order flow revenue for each completed options trade as a rebate to help reduce your trading costs. The exact rebate will depend on the specifics of each transaction and will be previewed for you prior to submitting each trade. This rebate will be deducted from your cost to place the trade and will be reflected on your trade confirmation. Order flow rebates are not available for non-options transactions. To learn more, see our Fee Schedule, Order Flow Rebate FAQ, and Order Flow Rebate Program Terms & Conditions.

Bonds.
“Bonds” shall refer to corporate debt securities and U.S. government securities offered on the Public platform through a self-directed brokerage account held at Public Investing and custodied at Apex Clearing. For purposes of this section, Bonds exclude treasury securities held in treasury accounts with Jiko Securities, Inc. as explained under the “ Treasury Accounts” section.

Investments in Bonds are subject to various risks including risks related to interest rates, credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors. The value of Bonds fluctuate and any investments sold prior to maturity may result in gain or loss of principal. In general, when interest rates go up, Bond prices typically drop, and vice versa. Bonds with higher yields or offered by issuers with lower credit ratings generally carry a higher degree of risk. All fixed income securities are subject to price change and availability, and yield is subject to change. Bond ratings, if provided, are third party opinions on the overall bond's credit worthiness at the time the rating is assigned. Ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell securities, and they do not address the market value of securities or their suitability for investment purposes.

High-Yield Cash Account.
A High-Yield Cash Account is a secondary brokerage account with Public Investing. Funds in your High-Yield Cash Account are automatically deposited into partner banks (“Partner Banks”), where that cash earns interest and is eligible for FDIC insurance. See here for a list of current Partner Banks. Your Annual Percentage Yield is variable and may change at the discretion of the Partner Banks or Public Investing. Apex Clearing and Public Investing receive administrative fees for operating this program, which reduce the amount of interest paid on swept cash. Neither Public Investing nor any of its affiliates is a bank. Learn more.

Alternative Assets.
Brokerage services for alternative assets available on Public are offered by Dalmore Group, LLC (“Dalmore”), member of FINRA & SIPC. “Alternative assets,” as the term is used at Public, are equity securities that have been issued pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (“Regulation A”). This content is not investment advice. These investments are speculative, involve substantial risks (including illiquidity and loss of principal), and are not FDIC or SIPC insured. Alternative Assets purchased on the Public platform are not held in a Public Investing brokerage account and are self-custodied by the purchaser. The issuers of these securities may be an affiliate of Public Investing, and Public Investing (or an affiliate) may earn fees when you purchase or sell Alternative Assets. For more information on risks and conflicts of interest, see these disclosures. An affiliate of Public may be “testing the waters” and considering making an offering of securities under Tier 2 of Regulation A. No money or other consideration is being solicited and, if sent in response, will not be accepted. No offer to buy securities can be accepted, and no part of the purchase price can be received, until an offering statement filed with the SEC has been qualified by the SEC. Any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of acceptance given after the date of qualification by the SEC or as stated in the offering materials relating to an investment opportunity, as applicable. An indication of interest to purchase securities involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.

Cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency trading, execution, and custody services are provided by Bakkt Crypto Solutions, LLC (NMLS ID 1828849) (“Bakkt”). Cryptocurrency is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and has the potential for loss of the entire amount of an investment. Cryptocurrencies offered by Bakkt are not securities and are not FDIC insured or protected by SIPC. Your cryptocurrency assets are held in your Bakkt account. Bakkt is a licensed virtual currency business by the New York State Department of Financial Services and a licensed money transmitter, but is not a registered broker-dealer or a FINRA member. Your Bakkt Crypto account is separate from your brokerage account with Public Investing, which holds US-listed stocks and ETFs. Please review the Risk Disclosures before trading.

Treasury Accounts.
Investing services in treasury accounts offering 6 month US Treasury Bills on the Public platform are through Jiko Securities, Inc. (“JSI”), a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA & SIPC. See JSI’s FINRA BrokerCheck and Form CRS for further information.

JSI uses funds from your Treasury Account to purchase T-bills in increments of $100 “par value” (the T-bill’s value at maturity). T-bills are purchased at a discount to the par value and the T-bill’s yield represents the difference in price between the “par value” and the “discount price.” Aggregate funds in your Treasury Account in excess of the T-bill purchases will remain in your Treasury Account as cash. The value of T-bills fluctuate and investors may receive more or less than their original investments if sold prior to maturity. T-bills are subject to price change and availability - yield is subject to change. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investments in T-bills involve a variety of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. As a general rule, the price of a T-bills moves inversely to changes in interest rates. Although T-bills are considered safer than many other financial instruments, you could lose all or a part of your investment. See Jiko U.S. Treasuries Risk Disclosures for further details.

Investments in T-bills: Not FDIC Insured; No Bank Guarantee; May Lose Value.

Banking services and bank accounts are offered by Jiko Bank, a division of Mid-Central National Bank.

JSI and Jiko Bank are not affiliated with Public Holdings, Inc. (“Public”) or any of its subsidiaries. None of these entities provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. You should consult your legal, tax, or financial advisors before making any financial decisions. This material is not intended as a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to purchase or sell securities, open a brokerage account, or engage in any investment strategy.
