First rule of investing...don’t take investing advice from strangers on the internet.

My portfolio right now:

AAPL, FSLY, MDB, NFLX, PLTR, PTON, PZZA (because I like Shaqaronni), TSLA, long call options on DAL, CCL, NCLH.

I also take out covered calls and puts on things throughout the month to make extra $$$. Only problem I’ve had is having to sell :) for example, I bought PLTR at $9/share did a covered call at $20. Now the stock is at $28.

Don’t take my advice. Do your own research though.

If this is your first investment into stocks, put it into a S&P500 index

Theres a book called The Rich Barber that I think is really helpful in understanding how to invest your money (for dummys). I also have heard that a good rule of thumb is once you're investing $100k+ to have a financial advisor. Could be worth looking into.

Wait till the Civil War in US starts, stock will drop.
Start to invest then in business that benefit from that.

Wouldn’t it make sense to invest in those businesses now when the stock is valued low? By the time civil war starts their stocks will be at an all time high
