Investment bros, advice for noob?

I’m a noob investor. I’m looking to start investing maybe starting with 20g that’s currently sitting in one bank account doing nothing for me. I do have plenty of emergency funds and no debt, no mortgage or car payments or student loans or rent, nothing. What would you advice I do? Tesla? Apple? NIO? Amazon? Just get some RobinHood account and start?


Stats:
Investor level: noob
Care if lose a few g: none
Care if make a few g: happy!
Debt level: none
Goal: withdraw a few g every now and then when make money to buy myself cool sheit I want, But leave most of it invested and add to it overtime.

Throwing some money into an ETF or an index can be a good way to learn right off the bat

1) If you want to make money - buy some SNP etf and wait. 100% win in a 20 yr rolling period. Max out IRA every year and all that pussy ****.

2) If you want to have fun and be a degenerate and lose money - yolo OTM options.


People with robinhood accounts eventually find their way to option 2.

Long term hold? Plenty of great choices that I won’t recommend to you. Do some research bro and don’t look for the easy money until you know what you’re doing.

buy vanguard s&p 500 etf and don't touch it

I recommend fidelity.

There is a difference between investing and gambling. This is a safe long term investment that can get you real, decent returns with minimal risk. If you want great returns, then you have to start gambling.

Weeklies and nothing else. Lol

But in reality op, if you are just getting started dump some money into spy, then research a company that you believe in and invest in it.

Buying and holding mega-cap index funds is one of the most effective ways to make money in stocks and by far the easiest.

The option chit is interesting, but it is legit gambling. I keep a fuk-around account open to just to entertain myself during WFH, but I lose every dollar I win if not more.

If you're a real noob forget about investing into single stocks and derivatives. Broad indexes all the way. Look for low expense ratios.

Want a quick read that covers some of the basics? This is great. Be warned, internet arguments about investing (and everything else) get intense.

Take no chances (No chances)
Stop freelancin' (Right now)
Invest in your future
Don't dilute your finances (Uh huh)

401K, make sure it's low risk
Then get some real estate (How much?)
4.2% 30-year mortgage
That's important, that's a great deal
And if you can't afford it
Don't forge it on your last bill

Renting is for suckers right now
A dependable savings
And you'll retire with money in your account

All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."
