Hoping to hear from more experienced investors. I've been trying to figure out my trading strategy (I'm towards the beginning of this journey.

I've come across this sub and sold a few CSPs. I've been reading lots about different methods for trading and frequently think about the statistic that basically all traders quit within five years and almost none beat the S&P over the long run. Has that been true in your all's experience? Would your advice to a younger investor/trader be to just stick everything in some ETFs? Or is theta gang worth it?

Open to hearing all sides

We’ve been hovering around 345ish for a few days, now at 340 where there’s some decent support. Went lower in the past few days with the settlement but looks like they could be back on the uptrend soon.

New to leaps so wanted the community’s thoughts.

Are all of these online groups where they give you signals fake?

Not sure if this is just bc I’m really getting into stocks, but I’m seeing tons and tons of trading groups everywhere, TikTok, IG, X- some of the discords are pretty massive but I’m not familiar with discord and from what I’ve read you can buy bots.

Are all of these just scams? Bunch of regards on here like me so wondering how many of you have bit the bullet and can share results lol.

Probably a dumb question, but some of these guys are pretty huge on IG, tiktok etc. Charan's discord has 30K+ members.

Is it a scam? Is it helpful to learn from if you don't blindly follow their trades?

Hey guys. PGY-2 here, have a unique situation where for a bit I don’t have to pay for housing.- likely until end of PGY-3.

I’ve got some funds set aside (I know, i know, best advice is to max out 401k and Roth IRA before anything else but I want to play with some) that I want to use to learn how to trade on my own.

I’ve heard statistics that most traders lose tons of money. I’ve also been reading about the Wheel which sounds like an appealing strategy.

My question to some of you who have the benefit of years of not only your own experience but seeing and learning from others- is any of this worth it? Or should I just stick it all in ETFs and walk away?

Everyone’s thesis was shared unlock -> retail has been freaking out so they all sell -> stock dump further.

That’s not happening so what’s going on? Institutions keeping the buying pressure on?

I’ve been getting a “502 bad gateway” error for a few days. Anyone else unable to access the site?

Hey guys,

Trying to figure out how I'm gonna study for Radiology residency. The two main decks I've seen on this subreddit are Ankore and Mastering Radiology. At the time of this posting, AnKore is 28.5K cards and Mastering Radiology is 23.5K cards.

Has anyone tried both of these and have any thoughts? I'm downloading both right now to see which I prefer but would love to hear from others in Radiology about which they prefer and why.

I was initially leaning AnKore bc from what I read on here it was a more streamlined version whereas Mastering Radiology is supposed to be a very comprehensive resource...but from the number of cars in AnKore now, I'm not sure that's still the case.

Still waiting. Does it take longer for IMGs to get score report?

Hi everyone, so I apply for a Chase business card and got instantly declined. I’ve had some recent velocity but I was overall pretty surprised. Next time
I called their reconsideration line and it turns out they think I have hit the 5/24 rule. I took a look at my credit report and it seems that a card I was added as an authorized user on is reporting to my credit report.

Chase says that they’re unable to tell if I’m an AU or the primary card holder. They said I need to contact the credit unions to report a dispute. From my understanding, this will take a while and then I’ll have to reapply since I’ll be outside of their 30 day reconsideration window.

I was added as an AO to this card on September in 2025. I’m thinking that the cleanest way to deal with this is actually just to call the card issue and have myself removed.

My question is, how will this impact my credit score, if at all and will I get blacklisted from this card issue for closing a card with them in under one year?

As far as my score, it is currently a 734 on Equifax. My recent velocity is quite high with a Chase card opened in March of this year, and three other credit cards opened from September to December 2025. I should technically be at 4/24, not counting the AU account. My main credit card is a Bank of America customized cash awards that I’ve had for the past decade. I’ve also been an AU on my dad’s Discover, which has a credit reporting length of like 26 years.
