So, due to my accident (full coverage) and currently being workless due to COVID, I actually have a LOT of money coming my way this month.

including my savings, I have about 17.5K that is set aside.


I COULD: buy new gear, a used R1, and go laughing.

however. for ONCE in my life, I m actually going to be responsible. I’m going to invest in the stock market to try and maybe bump that to a nice even 20K. maybe more. And once this covid shit is over and I have a proper income from work again, cash out and then buy something buts (new R....maybe a super duke? or used R1 still and restore the 250 and 750)

So...how does one get start with actually getting into the stock market? I h a ve no idea. (apps? accounts I need to set up? what do scooby doo?)

I use robinhood app to do my trading, but I’m barely in the 4 figure range. Granted, with some pa tience and safe bets, I can usually get 10-20% gain in about 6 months’ time. I’d send an invite for a fee stock but literally every invite/link I’ve sent out has not gotten anyone any free stocks so just jump in and see how you like it.

I second this option. It’s an easy to use tool that helps you dip a toe into investing with no fees.

If you’re wanting to invest that much though I’d talk to someone that knows more than me. I stash a couple hundred bucks a month into mine and it’s added up nicely though.

I’m invested in mostly tech and auto stocks (invest in what you know I've always been told).

I threw a couple hundred into it after the crash and bought AMD @ 42$/share. I made a good choice.

Based on this Canadian info, it seems I should appropriating property from our snowbird visitors. You guys seem pretty well set up, and I’m sure your socialist asses won’t mind me taking over your winter properties. #adversepossession

Or you throw it into the stock market, the stock tanks further and you walk away with a tidy $10k.

Definitely - they’ve been my best buy ever. I bought a bunch a couple years ago when they were $12 a share.
