I've checked out these stocks, and listened to reddit, done some research, and here I am the bag holder. Ive lost so much money buying rklb, nbis, asts, and now silver. I can't take all this money literally just being flushed down the toilet. The reddit recommendations have killed me. Im so traumatized, I have a feeling as soon as I listen to the other reddit advice to dca into spy or voo, I'm going to end up a bag holder there as well. Getting into the market has got to be one of the most frustrating experiences I've had. People talk about research, but I can't find a meaningful way to do it as a small time investor. Checking p/e, Checking peg, looking at free cash flow, looking at news and debt, and any other business factors dont seem to determine stock price movement in my experience. thats why i decided to start looking for ideas on reddit. It more seems that it is all about what is in fashion at the moment.
Successful investors, what are you looking for in a stock when you buy?
