Stocks.....Anyone here own any?

Has anyone here ever bought and/traded stocks. I opened a Charles Schwab account with $160. They give you 5 free stocks to start. My plan was to buy some small stocks and dabble into it a little bit. But once i got onto the site it was like chinese i was wayyyyy out of my league. So two weeks later i closed the account. You have to sell the free stocks first before you can close your account so they walked me through it and I actually made a profit. When i closed i had $431 So im going to read buying and trading for dummies or something next time.

1. First and foremost, devote some time and effort to learning about markers, shares, and trading.
2. Find a mentor. Nothing can be more helpful.
3. By then, you will know whether you are a trader or an investor.

Best skill to develop is spotting trends early. Then mimic every Nancy Pelosi trade because she uses insider trading with impunity

@Thrust It is hard to disagree with those tactics. However, for a bignner, that would be dangerous.

@Renkon you do it at your pace. Like following Buffett. The only difference is she's playing a rigged game.

She's had a return 3x Buffett's last year. Golly she must be good! 🤡
