EMBK
Embark Technology, Inc. Common Stock
stock NASDAQ

I started a 3 figure brokerage account, which became 4, then 5 then 6 then 7 before selling and enjoying the spoils.
Acting as if no one knows anything is why I managed to do what I did. Calling tops and seeing weakness is absolutely doable if you pay attention to the right things. Calling bounces, recoveries, rallies, sell offs is also doable. When you see insanity in markets like early 2021 with IPOs like Rivian doubling, tripling within weeks based on nothing - plus with macro economic conditions looking weak, feds responses likely to be hikes - you could see the writing on the wall.
Picking stocks is also doable - saying no one knows anything is the weakest response to stock trading. Knowing whether a stock will hit $41 for sure is different than knowing a stock will move higher. The latter is very doable and if you spend time learning what moves stocks, you can make a lot of money.
Feel free to look into my posting history on WSB and you’ll see me preach about holding Ionq,rklb,asts being the next big stocks - all of which were trading in the dollar range.
Was I a genius? No. I simply did DD on the companies, future industries wallst hadn’t yet rated properly, chose who I thought would be winners, had a strategy to accumulate these stocks in a high rate environment with expectation of gains when rates started to fall.
You can call it lucky, but then id point out that I did it again with stocks like LAES, NRGV, APLD. Did i have failures? Yes. Did i know how to manage those failed picks? Yes. Stocks like EMRK or LAZR failed badly but because I had experience with the market, many failing stocks get squeezed these days before collapsing. Even though EMBK is no longer solvent, i made 3x my money on it. LAZR was a failure that I lost 50% on, from my shares, but if we include my option gains, I ended up making a nice profit from when it would gap up on deals like with mercedes - stock pumped 40% and weeklies paid out quite well.
All this to say, give yourself credit. Markets are not voodoo. If I could do it, anyone can. Timing the market. Making single stock picks has made me a lot of money and you too can do it if you learn. And when I say learn I mean literally learn by yourself. Not copy trades, follow online pump and dumps. I taught myself everything and yes, I had many failures along the way - but those failures taught me everything. I was singularly obsessed with learning how the markets worked. 18 hour days spent doing nothing but watching charts - which i barely use today - reading about economics, finance, accounting etc. educating myself because I wanted to learn. Not sitting on youtube or tiktok or wsb and just following trades.
This is a long ass comment but hopefully someone takes it to heart and makes millions. Don’t limit yourself.
