That last thing I invested in..okay so I was taught you find something that's not going out of business that's down, you look at their high points and low points, try to buy at the low point and sell towards the median. You can hold for as long as you want, but..whatever..
This one was down and had pushed the Covid shots a lot and I didn't think about that when I bought it.
Me making profit off of that was nothing short of a miracle!

It never really went back up until they were getting bought out because they suck.
So I made profit, and didn't lose anything. Gotta stick with the original principles now.
If I had thought about it more, never would have put a dime into them.
It doesn't make sense to invest in companies that don't do good, even if it does make a profit. That's what I say.
Don't support ones that don't do good.
The system I was taught is sound, a Jewish investment dude taught us that on a field trip back in the day.
He could make 15% for people all the time. That's how he made his living.
Look at the high and low for all time, make sure they're not going to fold, buy near the low and sell near the middle, that's it.

All that puts and calls stuff? That's just gambling.
People can hold and sell near the high, too, but that doesn't happen all the time.
