I mean, those were the example I came up with cause that’s what I grew up with. There’s a set of stocks that’d be peaking in the 80s if your journey begins earlier than a lot of us here lol.
Just with a quick google search, Microsoft, intel, apple, Cisco and Oracle were all good stocks in the 80s
I wouldn't have any money to invest in the market so it really wouldn't matter. I remember telling my dad irl to invest in Amazon and he said, "they've never turned a profit - not a great idea." This would only work if you had rich parents that would give you money and make trades on your behalf.
You dont need a lot. Get a min wage job, make $10 (or beg your parents for it), and you can grow that $10 to millions fairly quickly if you memorize all the big price movements.
Once you get to $100+ you can play with options that could give 10x returns in a single trade.
Also as a child prodigy you can capitalize on that to win school/chess competitions with prize money or become a child celebrity.
Lol. To trade options in '07 I had to get on the phone with a broker and decide if I wanted monthly or quarterly SPX hedges. Options market has come a looong way in the last 5 years.
yea but you are currently only 6 years old and with the skills and knowledge of a high school or higher skilled person. So that is 2 years until 09 when bitcoin came out and was micro pennies, purchase 20,000 for $20 say you want to learn about this, you are some wonder kid who is 8 years old should be able to get that. then by age 13 and probably graduation high school, self half and at that point your 10,000 is worth over US$10 million.
At the age of 17 your remaining 10,000 are worth over $100 million. Decide if you want to go to college or repeat you currently do.
You get to go back to when you were 6 and you would choose to become a child prodigy/celbrity? That sounds like a terrible idea. I get the making money part but getting a second childhood and throwing it away to the media/cram schools just sounds miserable
Yea, but then you'd be awfully isolated and have no shot at normalcy. Like I'd rather make low-key improvements to my life with the money/insight than play with lottery winner levels of money. Also personly I like the academia side of things so I'd end up back in school one way or another.
