Turns out Robinhood seemed to update me more so my interests stuck with that even though it is much harder to diversify. First thing i noticed was the graphs. Green meant going up and red meant going down i read on Robin Hood. So i compared 1 day to max and tried to get ones that only go up. Unfortunately those cost too much for me right now because you can’t fractional shares on Robin Hood so i started looking up things i was familiar with.
I used social media a lot so i grabbed snapchat and it recommended gopro so i got that also to start out with and immediately gained 5 bucks to start. That got my attention so by my second day i got one more GE. GE was probably not the best move but it was cheap and wanted to diversify because that’s what i read to do. My plan is to buy these cheaper stocks until i can trade for better more expensive ones later. Got to start somewhere right.
On my 35th birthday, I decided to start the stock journey not knowing anyone or anything about it. All I knew is a bunch of rich people did it and I wanted to try. Without going to Wall Street I figured there was an app for everything so I google it. Turns out there are a bunch of options. I started out with Robinhood and wanted fractional shares so I got m1 finance.
