Enter your flex - how much $ did you make in the stock or crypto market during the pandemic? I’m a first time trader - made 20K pure profit after accounting for short term gains taxes (32% tax bracket) on a 20K investment (diversified over different trades).

Whatever gains anyone made is mostly due to unprecedented Fed-driven corporate welfare and debt acquisition. You have socialism to thank if you made money in this market

Yeah. I’m moreso lean on conservative but fuck the fed for one playing politics and two not stimulating the economy from the bottom up

Wow $20k so much money!

Former pro intraday trader here :) it doesn’t matter how much you made in the short-run (and even 5-year term is still short). If you are doing aggressive trades, your risk will find you and make your account = nil. What matters is the ability to survive the long game. The best ads I remember were from shady Forex shops: “with our options trading you can earn thousands % a year and lose only 100%”

I’m not flexing - I’m a first time trader. Just looking at how much money folks have made trading this pandemic. Umm, I haven’t calculated that. I just invested in 7 stocks and made 7 buy / sell trades. 30K profit, 0.68% post taxes, lands me 20K profit. Invested 20K. All the trades were made over a period of 3 months, but majority of the main winning trades happened in a 1.5 month timeline.

how are you not flexing? your topic literally starts with enter your flex, followed by some napkin math to support how great your pure profits are while reminding people you’re a noob and concluded with a total chad of a hashtag..and then you walk it all back to try and be humble by saying you’re not flexing? lmao foh

300k in appreciation. Funny thing is I didnt have to make a single trade to do that...

Well then how did you make 300k in appreciation? Doesn’t qualify for my question although admirable amount of savings appreciation. My question was focused purely how much folks made in this silly market right now pumped up by feds, stimulus packages and novice traders.
