Looking for reliable trading penny stocks online beginners secrets and tips?

I used to make fun of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Then I saw how much money traders were making — for instance, my millionaire student Matthew Monaco made $53,804 profit on a single NFT trade.

I changed my mind and decided to learn more about this multi-billion dollar industry. It was eye-opening.

I believe that NFTs are creating some of the BIGGEST opportunities out there for traders.

I’m so excited about NFTs that I’ve started a whole community dedicated to trading them. Wanna learn more? Join me TONIGHT — Wednesday, March 30 at 8 p.m. Eastern — for a once-in-a-lifetime event … Plus, I’m giving away a limited supply of my first-ever NFT collection!

What Is An NFT? Trading Penny Stocks Online Beginners Tips

NFTs might seem like they spontaneously exploded last year, but they’ve actually been around since at least 2014. Sometimes it just takes time for momentum to build. Any reliable trading penny stocks online beginners tips should explain how to do that.

Not sure what they are? Let me explain.

NFTs are digital collectibles. They represent assets that might include:

  • Artwork
  • Digital fashion
  • GIFs
  • Music
  • Sports highlight reels
  • Videos
  • Video game skins
  • Virtual avatars

Why own a digital version instead of the real thing?

That’s the “non-fungible” part of the equation. Fungibility refers to the fact that the individual parts that make up something are interchangeable.

For example, take bitcoin. That’s fungible — one bitcoin will always have the same value as another bitcoin.

NFTs are non-fungible. Every single NFT is completely unique. So, for instance, if you have a sports highlight reel NFT, it has no equal. So you can’t trade it for something of the same value.

Each one has specific information that distinguishes it from any other NFT. It also contains built-in authentication. That’s your proof of ownership and how NFTs are verified. No two can be identical, because every item has a unique digital ID.

Still confused about why it’s worth owning an NFT?

It all boils down to scarcity.

NFTs create digital scarcity. As traders know, when there’s not much supply but a LOT of demand, it can make a stock price go crazy. Same goes for NFTs.

Just look at the money: In 2021, NFT sales topped $25 billion.

My student Adam was part of the NFT mayhem. He made $1 million on an NFT project — he’ll be joining me during tonight’s event.

Meantime, learn more about him in this post and in this interview he did with my 30-Day Bootcamp collaborator and crypto whiz kid Matthew Monaco:

How Is an NFT Different From Cryptocurrency?

NFTs and crypto are frequently put in the same category. It’s easy to see why…

  • Like cryptocurrencies, NFTs exist on a blockchain. That’s a public ledger that logs transactions.
  • NFTs are typically encoded with the same software as cryptos. Actually, a lot of NFT tokens were created using ethereum token standards.
  • NFTs are bought and sold online, usually with cryptos.

But they’re not the same. Let me explain … Consider the difference between fungible and non-fungible.

Cryptos are currency. They’re fungible. The value of one unit will always be equal to the value of another unit.

NFTs, on the other hand, are non-fungible. They have digital signatures that make it impossible to have an equal.

Like I said earlier, NFTs are units of data stored on a blockchain.

Ethereum is one of the most popular NFT blockchains. But it’s not the only one.

There are some exciting up-and-coming NFT blockchains like Polygon and Solana that have a few advantages.

For one, they have lower fees — and the transactions are faster.

Personally, I prefer Solana. They’ve optimized the speed of transactions in ways that make it more environmentally friendly than ethereum. This is important to me. Maybe you’ve seen how I try to save the world with my charity, Karmagawa. See? We all need these kinds of trading penny stocks online beginners secrets.

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
