If you put $100 every 2 weeks into McDonald's stock...

[Huggles]

I did the rough calculation was that if I put $100 every 2 weeks into McDonald's stock from 20 years old until 50, I would have a bit over 600k today!

I shoulda learned how to invest earlier in life!

Anyone else here old, fat, broke and looking to put away $100 every 2 weeks? I'd be 80 and shitting my pants but have like 600k or some shit in the bank to buy a lot of Thai butt-wipers and Pina Coladas on the beach if I never touched the money, assuming McDonald's performed the same for the next 30 years!

Edit: This is not financial advice, I am retarded

[jscott]

It's 2026 and if you haven't yet learned why there is value in Bitcoin then yes you are retarded. LoL!
Sorry for being brutal to ya Huggles!

...but can you EAT a bitcoin?? +

Wait, what?!

Listen... the human zoo is at its peak. Are we all having fun yet?

[jscott]

Nope, you will never eat or hold a Bitcoin in your hand.

Nor will you ever hold a number in your hand, math, a stock, or even knowledge, but does it make those less valuable because you can't hold it in your hand?

That McDicks strategy probably decent, but there are better ways. You're talking about beating inflation by a hair.

[grzepa]

I wonder if that's going to continue considering the shift to healthier eating around the world. Sure , they can make their menu healthier....to a point, I can't see McDonalds being a salad bar.

I will hold BTC till 2030 and see what I get

[Killswitch]

BTC is to volatile. You should only play in that if you have the funds to lose. And I mean seriously lose. Not "welp I lost $100" I mean "I'm down $100k and still holding out" levels of loss.

Otherwise, just get an index and put your money in that, safer bet and compounds.

If I remember correctly, wasn't there a legit 80k-4million-to-0 post on /r/WallStreetBets the other day?

Also... the WORST stories I see.... are the young men who inherit 100k+ or more, spend NONE of it on experiences, and instead YOLO it all into the stock market, lose it all, but the worst part?

They lost all of the life experiences 100k could have been turned into in your early 20's... those experiences at that are are the fucking best!!!

Even if I had 1 million dollars cash, today, it would not be as fun at my age as 100k (or 10k+ USD a month income!) when you're 20-30 years old.

this is ~11% yoy return. iow, this investment did not keep up with inflation + dollar debasement.

[jscott]

That's crazy how people think as long as their dollar amount goes up they're winning. In reality they're not even beating (maybe barely) beating fiat devaluation. And they teach us (brainwash) us into believing that's the right way.

[mechanicvirus]

Very nice thread with quality information proven by math and experience. Anyone that has a problem with that most likely have a serious mental illness that will need to be treated by round the clock doctors provided by the state.

For me, if I have a roof over my head, a pot to piss in, and liquor in my belly, I am winning!

Yep I get it, but have to have a plan for future too, some kind of savings setup, and that might mean having a little less liquor, less smokes, less vices, and allocate funds to future savings/investing.

For every $100 of Ram you brought this time last year, you can now get $250 for it.

However when it comes to investing and investing for your future, slow and steady always win the race. Bluechip stocks and real estate, the formulas been tested billions of times.

The trick is not to imagine "What If?", but actually to have done it.

[plsureking]

i'd love a trading forum on gfy since i make a lot more trading than i ever did in porn. which is a good thing cuz this industry is crashing hard (unless you own OF).

some smallcaps i like right now:

LUMN
BBBY
DNA
NVAX
STAX

all too low but not for long. we'll see what happens when the market opens in the morning.

its gonna be a crazy day..

Exactly this, but this approach 9bluechips) makes sense if you have children or plan to just give out the money or spend them when you're old, or start very early in your early teens would be the best.

Bitcoin is good as a side gamble, you may win big or lose big.

[Killswitch]

The real play for saving for retirement isn't YOLOing into fake hyped "currency" and buying a fuckton of stocks from companies that have a 50+ year run of consistent dividend payouts.

Drop $2M into ~50 various stocks that meet this profile and enjoy your $100k/yr free paycheck.

Oh and that $2M amount can be contributed to by the early dividends you receive from the stocks you have already bought as you continue to invest more of that $2M into new and existing stocks.

If you're young and making enough to invest aggressively into this, you could compound those dividend payouts to even higher levels and get more than $100k/yr.

None of them makes profits and their turnover drops. Insolvency risks, that's why they are where they are and are only for gamblers.

how do you do your analysis? on the toilet? you only trade the large caps everybody else buys?

first one i listed - LUMN - did $13B revenue. my guess is they will get bought in the next year or two because of their shift to AI infrastructure. it will beat earnings in a month and i'll have a nice profit if i want to sell cuz i bought it low.

you could have even asked AI instead of guessing and writing some stupid shit...

Lumen Technologies (LUMN) holds numerous contracts, with a significant focus on providing network and IT services to U.S. government agencies and establishing AI-focused partnerships with private companies like Palantir and Corning.

my trades pulled a 40% average return in 25. i'm about to take profit on about 20% of my holdings in the next 30 days during the rebound. then i'll buy the next dip and do it again...

your analysis is garbage (or too safe)

These are stocks listed on exchanges so they have annual or even quarterly reporting standards, there are tools which take these figures and calculate the key figures from fundamentals.

Lumen's turnover dropped from $23b in 2018 to $13b in 24.

Gross margin dropped from 32% to 24%, net margin is negative.

Great that you had gamblers luck, but better take the profits at some point, Lumen isn't a long term investment if you go by fundamentals. You can trade it like GME, but keep in mind if they file bankrupcy while you hold a position it goes to zero.

Btw 40% return in a bull market for one year are nothing, make your math after the next bear market.

Amazon would be $2.5 million to $3.5 million (even though they didn't pay dividends) at ~31% annualized total return.

Okay thanks. I was confused with your previous post. I thought you were saying it was foolish to buy dividend stocks.

"The real play for saving for retirement isn't ..." " ... crypto or dividend stocks/"

Then you went on to talk about dividend stocks as good investments.

I never even considered Ford as a solid bluechip but will have to revisit.

apple was really low around '00. used to do the same mcburger math.

truth is there's no right answer or strategy.

anyone saying they are the smartest or know the best is a dipshit. they aren't smarter than Warren Buffett. even he never said he is the smartest. he said he had the luckiest timing. very humble.

there are as many strategies as there are traders. there's guys who wake up at 6am, read the Wall Street Journal cover to cover, trade from open until 11, and take the rest of the day off. that's a strategy.

there's (most) people who check their port weekly or monthly. then there's a lot of crackheads (lol) who daytrade and watch the 1-5 second chart.

the only thing that matters is if your strategy grows your wealth.

full fucking stop.

did you grow or drop in wealth last year? if you dropped then let's mod your strategy.

i swing trade on a daily basis with a target hold of 30 days or less.

we have a lot of legacy stocks (maybe 1k out of our 20k shares held) that we'll hold for the grandkids, but most of the port is traded actively. Plus my wife trades XAU all week - too stressful for me

the point is, we all made money in porn, and now that industry is dead. the ONLY job that is going to survive AI is market trading. the markets will be live until humans are gone.

its not hard. we worked in one of the hardest markets that ever existed.

Brother I'm down $500k in my investments over the last 3 years lol. But my investments are not stock related. My recommendation above is if I wanted passive income that is what I would do, and I still plan to do, but I unfortunately made some bad biz decisions that cost me half a million in losses and no meaningful gains.

Working on getting back out of that though. Back on track.

Your strategy is quite similar to my own.

Last year I liquidated my 401K stocks on January 18th. I then bought a good portion back in April, but I also bought some other things like CORZ in May for $8.50 or so and sold it in Oct for $18.74 or so.

At least once a year I look for a CORZ to make a nice chunk of change on, but don't put my entire nest egg into it.

I was up 48% before liquidating.

I also do swing trades where I buy a lot of a certain stock after it takes a shit on Monday and then hold it until Friday when it added a significant amount of value. Sell... rinse and repeat.

In 2024 my beauty stock was CRWD when they jacked up the airlines for the summer travel kickoff. I was sitting in an airport waiting for my rescheduled flight watching their stock go from $380 to $218 or something around there. While on my trip I bought around $222 and then sometime later... I think around Nov or Dec I sold it for $412 or around there.

I usually use a stock like this both inside my 401K and in my regular brokerage accounts. On the regular I put $50K on something like this. Sometimes I'll do less with options call or put. My goal is to put up a small amount like $25K - $50K with options and then have it pay me $200K. Which pays a good portion of my taxes so I can then be close to having those done.

But what happens if it busts? I've never truly busted. Like $50K turns into $5K or less. But I have had things happens where a second company scandal or an undisclosed something happens where my put or call is on the wrong side. Just quickly sell. Don't wait and hope. There is no hope! Just sell for $30K+ and move on to the next one. But that is very rare and the most I've eaten was perhaps $20K... but it wasn't $20K I needed to pay bills or anything. Never put that kind of money on the line.

when i started swing trading i built a little app to record and watch the trades. its plugged into an API to get all the stock data. now its also plugged into AI to find and analyze new stocks.

we're shitting bricks today because of OSS. we bought a few thousand shares a few months ago at ~$5 and its spent the last 2 days going straight up. we sold 20% at open (just under $10/share). probably sell the rest by the end of the day or tomorrow. everybody is taking profit right now. i want $10.50-11 on the rest of it. might hold into next week.

i think swing trading is pretty fun

You are obviously a retard who doesn't even know a stock price is set, enjoy your gamblers luck as long it lasts, hopefuly it lasts longer than coding scripts which look like they are from last century and can't compete with OF.

This story is so fucking insane... if you had 8,000 BTC worth half a million bucks... wouldn't you put that hard drive inside of a locked, extremely padded and safe case that you handcuff to yourself or keep in a safe? Like.... 500k.... and you somehow mistake it for a blank hard drive... bitch my hard drive would be gold and in a glass case with a laser turret on top.

Guy just throws out 8000 bitcoin...

calm down brokey

everybody thinks they know the best and smartest trading strategy.

there's a thousand strategies that work. mine works great for my schedule and system.

if you think you know best you are a stupid fuck and likely broke.

do you even have a port? $100 of BTC?
