I try to refrain from offering investment advice. However, I was giving a talk this past weekend and shared some investment advice to some brothers and sisters who have zero investment experience.

This is what we did.

  1. First, I made everyone sign up for Robinhood and M1 using their Android or Apple phones.
  2. Explained why having one of these accounts is much smarter than having a savings account. Traditional Savings accounts are actually foolish.
  3. We looked at 20 year $50, $100, and $250 per week investment options.
  4. Drilled in that this is a long game.
  5. Explained Roth IRA and why everyone should have one of these accounts.
  6. Explained that following the S&P 500 is the safest investment regarding stocks.
  7. Shared my main portfolio.

  • AAPL
  • MSFT
  • AMD
  • NFLX
  • TSLA
  • VOO
  • GOOG
  • GOOGL
  • DIS
These are my buy and hold picks. I wait for dips, then I buy.

The more expensive stocks, are on my M1 account because you can purchase portions. Robinhood has full stock purchases. However, they are rolling out partial purchases this year.

As soon as you finish reading this, sign up, set up auto-deposits you can afford, but that push you.

2020 is the year and decade for economic empowerment of the small percentage of black people smart enough and brave enough to take control of his or her destiny.

I will be available to answer general questions periodically.

Hey Tito,, Whats your thoughts on the cannabis industry??

Full transparency, I do own an M1 account. This is where my shares of Telsa, Amazon, and Netflix are.
I'm luckly ahead of the curb but Tito Jackson I wanted to know why do you have these stocks in M! and not RobbinHood?Is there a spific reason? does one offer one thing better than the other? I have Robbinhood and you're right when you say they are slow when it comes to transactions

Agree with ALL of these even though I sold my Netflix for nice profit got more Dis... I have AAPL, AMD, VOO as well.

The only one I wouldn't get now is TSLA only because I didn't pull the trigger a year ago and Im just gonna fall on the sword..

My portfolio was up 24.99% in 2019 - It would have been more but I got mad weed stocks and ended up selling off many of them for a loss to get Uncle Sam out my ass just a little, kept 2.

This year Im really focused on Dividend bearing stocks, Ive calculated if I can put away what I have in the last 2 years, for 3 more years, I wont have to save and just need to live to become a millionaire by the time I retire.

I do have a professional managed account with Edward Jones and then I use Robinhood myself.

Some ones brothers need to look at is boring ass stocks like WM, WRK to a lesser extent. WM is a dividend monster and is everywhere and is going NO WHERE. There will always be waste.

Good thread my brother

ownership of stocks is the only way out of poverty other then government defined benefit plans ,property won't do it because of taxes and expenses and interest ,property used to be ok cause housing values were appreciating faster then the expenses.


Bro, real estate is highly dependent on where it's located. You can't take a sample of one and say that as a fact. That's just the market your brother is in. Historically, more people get rich from real estate than any other investments. Fact.

@mailboxpimp while this is great information, it would be irresponsible of me not to say that learning to "short" and do it well takes time and is best suited for those who have the time to dedicate to watching the market closely, have the ability (time and available finances) to pull the trigger, and more importantly can afford to take a huge loss. At some point, you will incur a loss. It is just a part of the game. Because unlike "regular" trading, you lose big time if the stock goes up (or down) depending on how you hedge. In addition to having at least $2000.00 in your margin account, you have to be prepared to lose if your prediction does not pan out. This is not to say that one should not learn how to short. In fact, I hope everyone here does get to the level of where they do more advanced trading. However, I am simply trying to get people to put their toes in the water so they can see it is not too cold. Shorting stocks is betting/ gambling at the casino. @forcesteeler you have to make sure you are being transparent about that. I am too risk-averse for that. lol!!!
I watch the movie the big short OFTEN & leanr so much about it! I wish I could have bet on the housing market crash!

I agree about the location ,it's also because of the skin he wears around ,but property is not liquid ,property owners often tout their worth based on being able to sell the property at an ideal price ,but you see the bank controls the loan to your buyer and the interest you pay ,also the price that you can sell the property at ,so property wealth is largely theoretical,stocks can be sold instantly with little or no cost ,thats real money. for instance I can sell $100,000 out of my etrade account in 15 seconds it will be deposited in my account and spendable immediately, now convert your $100,000 property to cash ,get a buyer ,pay closing cost ,pay a lawyer ,get the bank to agree get my drift ,not good ,I'm not against property but it don't compare to stocks ,want real estate just buy REITS

That is true..... real estate is the long ball... brah

I have those in M1 because the cost of each of the shares is relatively high.
  • TSLA - $559.01
  • NFLX - $351.43
  • AMZN - $1,857.25
At the time I got started with those, which was approximately 4 years ago, I didn't want to keep waiting until I had saved a few hundred bucks to buy one share. I wanted to take advantage of the upward movement that was taking place. Netflix was killing it with Luke Cage etc. Amazon had announced a few partnerships, and Tesla had successful autonomous driving. However, Robinhood just recently announced that they will be offering partial shares this year. So, that is going to seriously hurt M1 and put Robinhood as a top tier investment platform, because most other major players do not offer that.

actually stocks as in index 500 only goes up if you look at 5 year intervals (except 1929-36 it took 7),single stocks are a risk because a single company can go under ,the index funds and ETFS are where I put my money ,the index 500 has 500 large company stocks and there is no long term risk as in 5 year periods ,no index 500 no USA so no long term risk there.hey good money conversation ,these is the kind of discussions we need if we are to become free,and you are not anything but a slave without money and the knowledge of how to cultivate it.
@drbaby6 @killagram Actually, there is truth in what both of you are saying.
  • Regarding Stocks: The S&P 500 has seen steady continuous gains averaging 8% since the turn of the 20th century. That is a long track record. What many people do not know and/ or realize id that many people made money during the great depression. Companies such as Coke, Exxon, and P&G continued to pay dividends during the depression and have done so regularly since the beginning. Statistically, stocks are much more stable than most other investments.
  • Regarding Real Estate: 90% of all millionaires invest in real estate. There is a strong positive correlation between ownership of real estate and net worth. Real Estate if done properly can provide generational wealth for many years to come. Despite what it may seem currently, ALL property appreciates in value in due time. The run-down ghettos in Detroit and the abandoned flood-damaged areas in New Orleans are seeing this. Look up property in D.C. Find the worst neighborhood and look at how much the home value has increased. Right now Lil Haiti in Miami is the hottest market because it is the most elevated area relative to the coast.
I recognize that there are various ways to invest for the future. I do not claim that my friendly advice in this thread is the end all be all. But, remember that economic empowerment isn't about telling people to it one way, it is about opening the door to the possibilities of various ways to financial independence.

To be honest, I haven't really looked into it too seriously. It is quickly becoming saturated. "Good Ol' Boy" regulations are shutting out many non-whites who are looking to start farms and/ or open dispensaries. I will jump all the way on board when a cigarette company gets smart and figures out a way to develop and market pre-rolled joints and sell them nationally as they would a pack of Marlboros. lol!!

Thanks for the feedback, bruh.. YOur so right, they are shutting the doors on our people.. I see the cig industry taking over the bud/flower/smokable part of the cannabis industry in decade or less.. The edible/concentrates/cbd/tinctures side of the cannabis industry will slowly get bought out buy these big corporations.. Its too much money to be made in the cannabis!! Good thread, bruh

True, but that's the plan. Start now get bought out and move on. It's being happening in tech for decades. Look at what Nas is doing. He's investing in small start ups then selling them for millions reaping the profits.

I've made about 30% on my portfolios this year. It takes years to learn but there are some stocks and index funds you can buy that will make you about 10-15% each year if you just buy and hold. Short term trading nets a bigger return but its a lot more complicated. Then there are options, which I'm not versed in. If you you want 5 long term stocks to buy I'll post some suggestions.

I'm a novice hoping to find some places to park savings. I'm cool with long term. Buying selling stocks is fun money to me mostly cause I lose. But a good array of long terms is my next goal.

Thanks in advance for any input

Ok I'll give you two funds to buy after the election, DOM (dow fund), SPY (S & P 500 fund). Again I wouldn't buy these two until after Nov because there will be volatility in the market (I think) between late February until the end of the year. Once you buy them just hold them for about 10 years for a 10-20% return year over year. These funds are good because the DOW and S & P will always go up because inflation makes things more expensive, which makes companies worth more, which makes market go up long term. So as market goes up, so will these funds because you are only invested in the top companies in the DOW and S and P. Short term I like Boeing (BA), once the 737 max comes back into service that damn stock is going to go from about 320 to 400. I would sell around 420 or so. MSFT is a great buy now and a long term hold because they are making tons of money and the stock is way undervalued. I think it will hold up even when the market drops this spring, summer, and early fall. MSFT is also releasing the new XBOX later this year which will also give it a boost. Last stock is AWR (american water) its a residential water utility company. This is your "defensive" stock. You can buy it now and hold it long term for small incremental gains over time. It also pays a dividend that exceeds your savings account. Everybody needs clean water pumped into there home and the company is recession proof cause your shit will get shut off if that bill don't get paid. No matter how bad the economy people will by food and pay their water bill. They will pay water before rent sometimes. AWR is especially good because many large institutions move money to utility companies when the overall market is doing poorly, which I anticipate will happen within next one to two months. This is not professional advice, just suggestions based on my personal research.

Download Stocktwits and you will find some penny stocks. I made $10,000 off $GHSI. Bought 24,000 shares at .17 cent and sold at .50 cent.

Also made $4,000 off $FCEL also. Bought at .29 cent and now it’s $2.20.

Thank me later



That's wassup!!! I haven't gotten that high in one trade in terms of profit.
I'm also a Tim understudy (3+ years).

I slowed down alot, I'm doing more studies.
Back in 2018, I was up 2k for the year, then gave it all back to the market.
I closed 3.5k in the red for that year plus 1.8k in commission fees.
So 5.3k poof, gone. I'm slowly getting back on the bicycle of penny stock trading.

What ended up killing my trades were holding trades overnight.
For the newbies, DO NOT HOLD these type of trades overnight.
You will not have control over your loss if the trade moves against you.

The stock can close green for the day and gap down the following morning.
Alot of times that gap down can continue to crash.

Reason I was holding them overnight was due to the pdt rule.
I figured I could swing trade these type of stocks to get out of PDT land.
It worked at first.... then it didn't.

I have to focus on using up the day trades and use another brokerage if I need more.

52 week lows, sounds dangerous cause the stock can continue in a downtrend.

Do you place stops on or keep mental stops to kick out of the trade?

I have stocks to trade as well. I should've got in during the beta, I got in a little after.
I'm paying $149.00 per month.

When I tried shorting, I could never find shares to short. I repeat, I could NEVER find shares to short.

For the noobs again, be SUPER CAREFUL with shorting. You can blow up your trading account shorting.

Blow up meaning, you can go into the negative. When you short, you have unlimited risk.

Many people that were used to shorting the stock DRYS as an example blew up.

That stock squeezed from 2.00 per share to 100.00 per share in a day.

The shorts who couldn't cover were finished.

You also mentioned that stocks to trade has a feature that tells you the direction the stock is going.
Are you talking about the oracle feature?

How's your trading in 2020 so far?

These videos were recent and an interesting angle on P&Ls. Disregard the content on being related to Forex.

In my opinion, these videos below wouldn't necessarily apply to penny stock trading.







This video below includes a trader that shorts:
