Hey guys,

This research post is about the company Coinbase Global. Coinbase (COIN) went public in April of 2021 at a share price of mid $300. Since then it has skyrocketed up to $429 and down to $208 as the stock searched for a consolidation point.

Today's post is going to go over why this company is a buy in my books. I will talk about the fundamentals, technicals, risks, and give a thesis on why its a buy.

If you don’t want to read everything check out the 300 word summary at the bottom.

HOW TO CONTROL GREED IN TRADING

​BY: ShortMeTina 

Gordon Gekko aka Michael Douglas, in the 1987 movie, Wall Street, famously raved about it when he said - 'Greed, for the lack of a better word, is good."  When it comes to the stock market, it is easy to become obsessed with making as much money as possible to 'get rich quick.'  Almost always, it is this psychological trading perception of garnering a large amount of wealth within a short period of time- that attracts many to the stock market.

Yes, trading stocks can provide you with the opportunity to make quite a lot of money and possibly, even get rich.  But there's a catch – there exists a fine line between trying to extract the best from what the stock market has to offer and becoming 'greedy.

This is a line that you must draw in permanent ink, particularly when trading.

​BY: Tina from ShortMeTina


As an investor and trader who has participated in the stock market for over 15 years, I am constantly looking for trading platforms and online brokerages with an array of features and benefits that gives me a competitive edge in the stock market. 

After all, we know that winning traders have some sort of competitive market edge. 

This isn’t an exhaustive list but a few things that come to mind when searching for a quality online broker are:
  • Fast Execution
  • Low-Commission Costs
  • Security
  • Premium Research and
  • A comprehensive trading platform 

I do look for other things but, at minimum, I need to have the above listed. 

When Webull contacted me to do research, testing and a review of their platform; I was more than willing to take them to task. 
​
After spending time using and reviewing their stock trading app; I was impressed with the amount of thought that was placed into building this trading platform. 

Continue reading, I share my thoughts and findings below.

​How to become a successful trader!

Are you having a hard time making money in the stock market?  If you are, I suspect it's because you lack the 3 foundational principles to successful trading.  


I call it the 3 M's (by no means a unique concept). 

Methodology
Money Management
Mindset or Mental Discipline. 


Take a look at your trading.  Do you have a method?  Do you manage your money correctly and do you have the mental discipline to succeed?   

If you're not doing well in the stock market you're either lacking some or all of these. 

Don't overlook any, you need all to succeed and when I realized that; my trading took a turn for the best.  It's the reason I am up double digits YTD; while folks can't make sense of this market. 

If you're ready to win in the stock market, watch the video below; it explains the 3 M's in more detail.  

After you're done watching the video, make sure to let me know your thoughts on the subject matter.  


Does it make any sense to you?  If so, comment and let me know.  If it doesn't, comment and let me know.

Trading Penny Stocks for Beginners- A Guide for Swing Traders and Day Traders

​WHAT ARE PENNY STOCKS?
 
Contrary to popular belief; penny stocks aren’t just securities priced under $1.  The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) defines penny stocks as any stock trading under $5. 
 
As per the SEC’s Penny Stock Rules: 
 
The term "penny stock" generally refers to a security issued by a very small company that trades at less than $5 per share. Penny stocks generally are quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board (which is a facility of FINRA) or OTC Link LLC (which is owned by OTC Markets Group, Inc., formerly known as Pink OTC Markets Inc.); penny stocks may, however, also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, the definition of penny stock can include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market.

Trading at $5 dollars or less, penny stocks offer you the ability to buy large quantities of a stock for a very low price.  It is no wonder; new traders are drawn to the world of trading penny stocks.  On the surface, it makes sense why folks are more inclined to invest in these lower priced securities. I suspect, there is some ‘logic’ in believing it is far wiser to buy 10,000 shares of a stock that cost (.25 cents) than 100 shares of a stock that cost ($25 dollars).  Or maybe it’s more logical to think that it’s easier for a .25 cent stock to trade up to .50 vs a $100 stock doubling to $200.  Whatever the reason, penny stocks tends to attract a lot of new investors and for those reason; I feel it is our obligation to inform you all about penny stock trading.
 
In this article, I will do my very best to discuss what I think you need to know starting out as a penny stock trader.

All this stuff might come off a tad bit corny.  After all, isn’t this a website dedicated to stocks, trading, investing and candlesticks?

So a couple of things. Believe it or not; I too at some point concluded that having a “Daily Motivational” page is corny AF (azz *uck) but decided to go forth with it anyway.

As the main driving force behind this website, newsletter, 15th year confessions of a stock trader - whatever you want to call it - I’ve seen some things.

If you’ve taken a few minutes to peruse shortmetina.com, you’ll stumble on the fun fact that in my prior life I was a Therapist.   I spent over 7 years formally studying human behavior and have some bad ass looking 8 x 11s (Bachelor of Arts & Master of Science) vouching for my competency.

The recent volatility in the Stock Market have many scratching their heads.  For the past two years or so; we’ve had the beauty of a market that only went up.  We did not have this chop that we’re experiencing now.  For folks that are relatively new to the stock market, do understand that these sorts of market moves are not as ‘uncommon’ as you may think.  Granted, we have not experienced them in a few years but for those (like myself) who’ve been in the Market since the early 2000s; this is somewhat familiar territory.  So, to the question that’s on everyone’s mind. 
How do you get through these types of markets?

Risk-Reward.

What is risk-reward and why is it important in swing trading stocks? Unless your are EXTREMELY good at picking solid companies and have the patience level similar to that of Warren Buffett to hold for decades and decades; trading requires you to be governed by rules.
