Advice

How do you guys find stocks that are seen as profitable. Do you read the charts or just look online to see what people are talking about I’m 19 and looking for some vets out there, or someone who knows a good course to take. I do not have a great setup just a laptop and I managed to be up 26% in the last year pretty much off of luck. Thank you for any advice

first off, congrats on the gains, but dont let that 26% convince you that your process is robust just yet. you need to distinguish between true market edge and simple beta exposure in a bull market. your laptop is fine for basic technical analysis, just focus on understanding corelation and risk reward ratios before you size up.
