(I have 90% of my portfolio held LONG) However regarding day trades and/or swing trades I did get in AND OUT of BB today!

(My longs are up very nicely and that includes some leveraged tech etfs).

I'll try again with something else tomorrow.

Now that's a fact.

I'm the 1k PP. I clarified that my goal is not to realize 1k a day, but for ytd gains to be 1k a day. For instance, today is the 26th day of the year. YTD today, I am up 29k in my play account. Some days I have one stock that goes up 1k in a day - hello gamestop. Some days 5 of my holdings go up 200 each. Sometimes I realize the gain and get in something new. Sometimes I ride it up farther and set a stop loss. Some days I'm down 1k. But overall over the portfolio I've chosen and trade in and out of, the goal is 1k a day.

BB is looking great right now. Jump back in if you can.

Okay well it depends on the dollar balance of your account (at Jan 1) to determine whether this is a good YTD return or not.

Ugh I see that BB is surging afterhours. Typical I sold.
Believe it or not I had GME bought at $11 in December - but I sold at $15. I heard about the upcoming squeeze due to the massive short level but I had no idea it would be like this. Oh well.
I will be looking for something for tomorrow.

Unless you are pumping and dumping with them.

The rest of us set it and forget it.

Not true. I do both: my big account is in Fidelity and my small fun account is with Robinhood. I've been having so much fun that my small account is 30% of my big one soon. I never cared for gambling in casinos or even lottery tickets, but this Robinhood is fun. There are so may stocks to buy and most have been going up. I'm Robinhooding....

Then you don't need DCUM's help. Sounds like you are doing well enough. Keep doing what you are doing.

I don't mind new names. Maybe DCUM'er know something I don't know. I did get Novavax from here at $17 and it went all the way to $170 in August. Somebody did say that I was late at $17. Not listening to that guy again.

1K gain a day with options?
Otherwise it's hard to get without at least $25K per daytrade.

Not recently. Lots of opportunities for larger than 4% daily gains.

But not today, right?

WKHS up 28%, SPCE up 17%, WISH up 7%, GME up 19%, etc. etc.

Yes I know that lol. You got in this morning on those particular stocks did you?
