In the long run (in my case at least) mutual funds and stable dividend stocks are better choices. I still play around with individual stocks and penny stocks. Nothing big, I put a grand in a TD ameritrade account last summer, haven't added anymore, and I'm up about 110 bucks. That's a terrible rate of return for a year. Granted, I'm not a skilled trader. There's been some WILD swings, but like pete said...it's my casino money. I don't go out much, and playing in the stock market has replaced my online gaming entertainment. I do it for fun, and know full well that it's not going to make me rich. |

I don't know if I've mentioned this stock before, but even before the pandemic stuff I had a stock that was doing really well for me called SLP. It's a tiny company that develops software to do simulations of drug absorption and other molecular stuff. It's growing, profitable, and even pays a small dividend. For some reason it made a huge jump today, though I don't see any news. I'm not proposing it as a speculative thing, but I've had it a couple of years or more and it seems like a good long term hold if you're okay with microcaps.

I own a bunch of VMW, up 10% after-hours (post-ER). Good Q1 report, especially amidst COVID. Hopefully, it continues to run - this stock has been depressed for quite a while now, which hasn't made any sense to me. Should be a $200 stock.

I hate earnings announcements especially before or after the close. It's rigged bullshit. Looks like they came in about .06 under estimates. |
