To all the partners/experienced investors, I was recently furloughed and I have been looking for another job but no luck yet. I am thinking of using my spare time to read books about how to invest in stocks. And if possible, I want to start investing ASAP with some of the money saved for emergency. Any recommendations about books to read would be appreciated. Also, do you think Uber and Microsoft are a buy right now? I have read some articles lately speaking highly of the two.

Do you believe you know more than the overall market/know something that the big money movers don’t? If not, why not just invest in a broad S&P fund?

This pdf outlines a very conservative method for investing - from the sounds of it, you may not want conservative. However, it also outlines some good basic principles and also gives you a list of books to read to educate yourself. https://www.etf.com/docs/IfYouCan.pdf

Thanks. I will check it out.

If you learn to trade options on blue chips, you can easily net 100%+ monthly on a conservative basis

All I can say is don’t = failure to try and that is the biggest failure. Try with only 100$ guarantee if dont right u can easily make it a G

Anyone ever have experience negotiating a new offer to include unvested 401k match and stock grants from your current employer? I hate leaving money on the table but there are some good roles out there. I’m not fully vested in my current 401k yet and my stock grants haven’t matured yet either. This would be at a global director level.

Question about solo/self-employed 401ks: If I create a sole-member LLC for a side business and create a solo/self-employed 401k, am I only allowed to make contributions from the earnings earned via the LLC? Or am I allowed to contribute money earned from a different source (ie W-2 job).
