Most of the people making REAL money from actually trading are not in retail. They’re large corporations with highly advanced algorithms running calculations and taking thousands of trades every second. It’s called High Frequency Trading.
Less than 1% of retail traders ACTUALLY make money in the long run.

I’m 26 working in tech/finance and I have “rich” parents depending on how you want to define that word. They’re in their mid to late 60s and are centimillionaires and money is largely completely irrelevant these days. However, I do not come from a long line of royalty and my parents are completely self made (the source of the wealth is my father who is a doctor and started and sold several practices then went into healthcare private equity). ALSO, yes they paid for my schooling and bought a condo for me to live in (though it’s in their name) and paid for all my healthcare, but I don’t consider those advantages because wanna know how much money they ever gave me, $0.00 exactly zero (they’re opposed to giving any money to me and my siblings and the vast majority of people in similar net worth bands also don’t do it because it will ruin the kids’ lives so I’m absolutely flabbergasted when I learn about parents giving their kids money) and how much of a role they planned in me getting my professional jobs at big corps and the startup I founded that just sold and I think did pretty pretty well, zero exactly zilch, I sent out thousands of cold emails to make these things work. The definition of a “nepo baby” is someone who never has to lift a single finger in their entire life and has everything just handed to them (I don’t even think your current prez counts).
But I think it’s extremely unfair to compare me to REAL rich people. Justin bieber’s net worth is PROBABLY higher than my parents is and he’s a totally non serious person so that makes it worth a lot less and there are onlyfans models and podcasters and athletes a third of their age making more.
PLUS there are people who are MUCH richer than us and it’s not even remotely close. Like Jeff bozo. We know of families who are so so rich and the wealth goes back GENERATIONS and my parents net worth isn’t even a rounding error. So no it’s not like they’re daddy warbucks.

LOL speak for yourself. I'll be happy to show you my statement because its REAL and VERIFIABLE. You are a mediocre trader, I can already tell based on your post.

I also have half of my Roth IRA currently in SCHK (Schwab), and gladly take advice for this as well.

Something to consider.........
I built a safe trade scanner as i realized I do have an edge, I just trade at times when I shouldn't.
Online economic calendars are over populated and don't provide you with the the information that really matters.
I took all ASIA, EURO and US holidays that close exchanges, variable date holidays per year, the REAL big data economic news to not trade around and other things like quarterly expiring derivatives - I then built this into a session based early warning indicator that not only advises you on your current session but the upcoming session too.
It identifies markets effected in current/next session so that you don't accidentally trade when you should be enjoying time off.
Also good as now I can look at my week in advance and clearly see an evening for example that I should not be trading and take the girlfriend out for dinner using the money I would have lost in the market - everyone's a winner.
It's made a real difference to my results and I feel more confident about my trade strategy too.
Roughly it weeds out 28% of potential trading sessions which some may say is too high or too cautious - I say whatever makes me consistently profitable.
Anyway, worth considering as trading less may help your results too.

HOW TO DEAL WITH BEARISH MARKET WITH REAL TRADES executed this month IN SEPTEMMBER and some important lessons (SWING TRADER)

It's not a real episode.
A REAL AI generated image would have prompted to use magazine cutouts to render the orange character.

You’re telling me I should have used a REAL EMAIL when I submitted my Nvidia ticket? FUCK

It appears to me absolutely absurd that Micron beats and raises; announces it will generate $100bn of post capex cash flow in the next 4 quarters ; deploy that cash PRIMARILY to share buyback, and the share price is flat/down!
**Note that $100bn of buyback power is 10% of Micron's entire market cap IN A SINGLE YEAR!**
Traders will play their merry gamma games in the after-market post earnings, but let's see what institutional REAL money does in the next week.
Imo these results virtually pave the way to my $1600 PT in 2027.

so can any of their competitors, Does Nu have a MOAT? that's the only question that matters, other than being "New", what does it offer that any other bank doesn't or soon will.
also look at their NPL, non-performing loans, are rising because they have been loaning to deadbeats, sorry I mean the public. :) If yields keep rising in US, that means stronger dollar and weaker REAL in Brazil, If US gets a slow down, Brazil 85% of NU customers, get a recession. Defaults will skyrocket, be careful with NU

Exhibit A (2:08:38)
For context, this was back in 2023 in which Larry was invited by Pulte and entire PP Show (idiots except for Jake2B and Sal) with regards to bed and beyond (which now has become DK-Butterfly). If you click on the bit (link), at the time, people were energetic and very hopeful, so why was Larry there in the 1st place? Did Ryan send him!?
[https://www.youtube.com/live/9GCGn\_STx-o?si=p9-TpDmHyXaQ1auo&t=7718](https://www.youtube.com/live/9GCGn_STx-o?si=p9-TpDmHyXaQ1auo&t=7718)

3 VERY Long years have gone since and nothing came of it (some stuff unearthing sure), but my suspicion with the recent livestream Larry did was likely an attempt to either pacify (calm down) an entire following of investors (which is exactly what he did in 2023) and/or stall for EVEN MORE TIME!
I do not believe Larry's sudden livestream was done under the presumption of good faith. I am not directly accusing the guy of anything (frankly don't care about him as an investor), but all I can say is that whether Ryan sent Larry again to calm the storm down (many frustrated investors), I have a suspicion that things will very likely get delayed again (just like it did back in 2023).
In essence, there's a very HIGH likely hood that the GME warrants WILL BE EXTENDED which could be for another year or maybe half (I am not sure), but one thing I do know is that Larry doing a livestream is ANYTHING BUT good news.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY HOPE I AM WRONG, but if time has proven anything when Larry "shows up" all of a sudden, I don't think or assume it's a good thing. Hence, get ready because in the coming weeks there will be announcements, but warrants will be extended and Ryan will continue buying more which means no REAL announcements or anything happening anytime soon.
And people sucking up to Larry or Ryan at this stage without any real corporate action leaves a lot to be desired.
TLDR: Don't fall for it! Expect this to be delayed even longer. Again, I'd rather be wrong that right.

NO, that one is real, it HAS TO BE REAL

Here’s why im bullish right now. REAL transaction: b2b ai startup founded ~22 months ago did $1m revenue in 2025 and $6m in revenue through June 2026 and acquired for a little over ~$130m by a private equity firm (willing to pay a massive multiple because of the user base and the fact that ai is hot). I owned ~37% after raising roughly $2m in venture capital and angel investments (stupid to give up all that equity for that amount after the fact) and my ~$48.5m stake ended up being worth around ~$22m post tax and banker and lawyer fees. Nevertheless if someone was willing to pay that much for that amount of revenue I think all the applied ai companies are severely undervalued right now and feel bullish on them. Same with legacy companies as well once they rebrand themselves as ai they’re gonna skyrocket so that’s why I’m buying calls (dozens of other private equity transactions also prove this).

Want some REAL black magic for you gold bugs??
I bought gldX and slvX (gold etf and silver etf, tokenized on crypto, supposedly 1:1 backed)
And put them in a liquidity pool for .3? Fee.
When the prices change, I automatically trade the GSR to the lesser one AND collect a .3 fee ontop of it automatically rolled into the liquidity pool
