I talked to AI to get the basics, but other than that I just intend to learn by doing, but yeah, it's just asking lots of questions to AI.

Heavy investor; day to day trader at times when the market allows.
Recently trading Amazon... I rode Amazon all the way up from the bottom of the latest crash, selling each day to re-bound peak. Maybe like a 40% return, avg 0.5-1% per day. I thought they would rocket @ latest high after earnings, and then 7% loss overnight even after stellar earnings over some AI investor fear. Wiped away a lot of $$$$$ temp. But the market is interesting if you have ZERO emotion. I could have sold b/c a fear of further dropping, but I held. It's Amazon, look at the history, growth, earnings, trajectory, diversification, AWS, etc. etc. Now we're back. 0% loss as of yesterday. I'll turn another 1% on that figure and jump back out and then back in as the market dips and peaks. On a side note: I personally need to start using stop losses @ 2% for these bigger dip moments.
I don't know anything about trading options, etc. Struggling to learn even if it's easy. Seems like day trading for 0.5-1% gains per stock, per day is my jam. Long term is great too, but I want those sweet compound interest gains to stack.
Also:
You only lose money on the stock market when you SELL b/c you're being a wuss and let emotions control you. And 2: When you buy trash companies without doing due-diligence. The market is VERY forgiving even when you pick the wrong picks; so long as you're not investing in HYPE or insane P/Es or very overpriced stocks. Time heals almost all; things recover, but 99% of people have no patience.
