    Cryptocurrency vs stocks

    What do the forumites think?

    I'm in both. I think most have an apprehension about cryptos because it is so alien to them. But what do you guys think it's going to take off?

    Any stocks or cryptos you guys have your sights set on?

    I do diversified mutual funds. Not individual stocks or crypto.
    @cotton is our expert on crypto, but I haven't seen him online lately.

    Peter's right, @Cotton1 is the expert here.

    I dabble--just a little--mainly BTC, ETH, and LTC. I don't have a huge amount invested, just the money I had from not being able to take my vacation last summer, but I've almost doubled it since January when Cotton first helped me get started.

    One thing I've learned is that a strong ROI is out there just ready to be made, but trading in cryptos requires frequent monitoring because they're volatile. I think knowledgeable day traders are likely the most successful.

    You are a natural. You trade like a seasoned pro. I have not once called seen you rattled.
    Even when litecoin was $155-160 u were cucumber cool. I remember mentioning divergence to you when Altcoins have an inverse correlation to BTC. You said you had noticed so I explained what it meant. How about Lite at $240 tonight while BTC is churning sideways?

    Holy moly and yes ma'am!

    You are a natural, period .

    Thanks for letting me help you get back started .

    That makes me happy.

    I've been speculating in crypto for a while. Made some decent returns, but usually sold too early and missed out on some huge gains.

    I'm super long on XRP right now after listening to Cotton's take and doing some research. It's up big in the past couple days, but I won't sell. I'm looking for Ferrari money, not a few grand.

    As for stocks, I went big during the market crash last March. Mostly tech and cannabis stocks. I also put a few hundred into a blue chip mutual fund every once in a while to maintain some diversification. My portfolio is up like 80% since then.

    As for specific stock picks, I like drone stocks. I see commercial drone aviation becoming fairly ubiquitous within the next decade. One day fairly soon, you'll look up in the sky and it will be full of drones doing all sorts of things, from delivering packages to beaming wireless internet.

    If your XRP play takes me to the moon, consider me your new best friend.

    And it now looks like Ripple will win their lawsuit against the SEC.

    We are already friends. I love its role as a platform to facilitate trades between financial institutions. Glad to help but ultimately you made the move to do it ! Good work

    I did the same thing with BTC in 2018. It was so oversold I went big. Imo it's the easiest play I ever made. It looked so easy I almost backed out. I didn't buy at $4k to sell at 5k. It was 50k+ or bust. I've lightened up but still holding some.

    I have been in index funds mostly for a long time. I have averaged around 22% per year over the last decade or so. I recently had a 10K increase day. Usually my increase is between 1-2K per day.
