What Reddit is saying
Swing trading options with 3-6 month expiration mainly..META made me a good chunk starting out and then I moved into AMD at the tariff lows..Had I held that would've been a multimillion dollar position off the blow off top..I then bought back into AMD, caught the breakouts on Bitcoin and software recently, etc..It's definitely been much more difficult to consistently make money this year IMO.META rapes you and the government collects a penalty.I am a profitable trader who has been profiting in the 6 figure range for several years..Simply put, $1000 isn't enough to day trade with..You can't even buy two full META shares or one SNDK share.My META put spreads limit order filled like 5 seconds before Hulk showed up, resulting in a 20% gain instead of a catastrophic loss.

This is the exact performance/returns I need right now with my last $100 (would've done it if I entered any of the META calls on my watchlist yesterday ) Congrats and thanks for the inspiration

- META made me a good chunk starting out and then I moved into AMD at the tariff lows.
- Had I held that would've been a multimillion dollar position off the blow off top.
- I then bought back into AMD, caught the breakouts on Bitcoin and software recently, etc.
- It's definitely been much more difficult to consistently make money this year IMO.

If you're actually a profitable day trader, what could you make with a $1K account?

- Simply put, $1000 isn't enough to day trade with.
- You can't even buy two full META shares or one SNDK share.

I still don't fully grasp share buybacks and the intrinsic purpose of owning stock.
>First, your premise is outdated: **Meta literally pays a dividend now.** Zuckerberg himself receive…
- >kick Zuckerberg out (voting shares can't protect you if a board breaches fiduciary duty by rejecting a buyout way above market value), liquidate the assets, and pocket the cash.
- The market bids the price up because the asset itself is valuable, just like gold or real estate.
- Again, like I've told other commenters, gold and real estate aren't comparable to business ownership.
- When other forms of currency become risky, people bid up the price of Gold.
- Shares of business ownership have value as assets because they provide cash flow to owners.
Amazon or Tesla: which would you buy today?

- Agree with the core point, but I'd frame it less as Wall Street hiding things and more as narrative vs. numbers.
- * **Valuation:** AMZN trades at \~19.6x trailing earnings and 3.4x sales.
- On pure fundamentals it's not close, yet TSLA carries a $1.4T market cap on the robotaxi/AI story.
- AMZN's free cash flow is slightly negative right now (FCF margin around -1.5%) because of AI capex, same as META.
- The AI rally is basically a bet on whether all this spending turns into cash flow.

- As long as these hyperscalers (AMZN, META, GOOG, and MSFT) are raking in profits from their core business, then NVDA holds the top spot.
- Back then, there were a lot of hopes and dreams that these companies could turn a profit.
- Right now, there's no hope because profits are reported.
- So, for the markets to drop, you'll need to hear META, MSFT, AMZN, and GOOG tell its investors that capex is decreasing.
- Looks like Zuck is just getting started on his version of AI.
