Right now I'm investing my money in real estate.
When my friend told me that it was possible to get citizenship by investing in real estate, I thought about this proposal for about a month thoroughly.
Since it is quite a big decision for me, I decided that I needed to make a comparison of citizenship by investment programs, in order to understand which option would be most suitable for me.
In general, after thinking about it for about a month, in the end, I realized that I had nothing particular hold on me, and it was a great opportunity to live in a beautiful country, work from home and also invest in real estate.
Now I have been living in Antigua for half a year and investing in real estate.
I was allocated housing immediately upon arrival and filled out citizenship papers.
In general, it all looks like a fairy tale, but it's not, still need to invest their money, the first time it will be hard to get used to, plus the hassle with the documents.
But it was all worth it I can say.

So besides my house that I got in 2012. I've bought and sold stocks that have to do with toys of all things. I look at what new cartoons might get a toy line or a revamp. Jakks netted me a profit of around 2600 from a 1300 investment. It kind of stagnated and has held since I sold my shares. Made about 6000 from my dogecoin when I sold them at .20 each. Find what you're interested in whether its toys, games, medical etc. Look at what each company is doing and whether it's a viable option. I'll let you guys know that I had a ton of stock from Nintendo that my grandfather bought me and I sold it during the GameCube era because it wasn't going higher. Then the Wii came out...Would have made a lot of money on that one if I had kept it. Bitcoin was another. I was going to buy 100 dollars worth of Bitcoin when this guy paid for a pizza from a pizza chain but my wife told me not to because it was a waste of money. She's still kicking herself in the butt on that one lol.

Hopefully you managed to cash out in time. Stock splits are not really worth as much as they used to back when as fractional shares are a thing on any number of trading platforms.
It's only 4 shares so I'm not really sweating. and I'm not in it for the split, I like the company fundamentals. :)

There's a stock-plan for employees at work, you get a 20% discount on the day of purchase (so you pay 5K and get 6K worth of shares) , but you can't sell them within 5 years. I paid 10K 2 years ago, they are worth about 13K and get about 700 a year dividend. I might buy some more this summer.

I’d say investing and trading are really different mindsets entirely - I have a decent amount of trading experience, but for investing I stick to the 401(k) & ROTH IRA.

I can’t recommend investopedia highly enough as a resource. For my ROTH, I stick to dividend stocks. This guy works a portfolio pretty similar to mine, and it’s been doing great: https://m.youtube.com/c/JosephCarlsonShow

For extra money and trading with penny stocks, I spent a good amount of time trading biotech stocks. I learned a lot, and it was really fun. A lot of work for about 5% gain at the end, though, so I’m more attracted to long term, actual investing moving forward. Penny stock traders do about as well as poker players, in that most lose. It is very fun, though, and I also love poker.

Saving accounts and the sort.

If anyone's thinking of investing in BTC/Crypto.. don't. I didn't invest too much and honestly wish I hadn't gone for it, now I just have to sit and wait in hopes it recovers.

Should've invested in gold/silver than BTC instead, but it's done.

Real estate is another of the safest ways to invest money. In any case, the asset remains on hand, which can be rented or sold.

Myself. College is expensive. I wish I took out a student loan.

And a dollar of Dogecoin, which is now worth less than that.
