Okay, so today I decided to mess around with Gregory Mannarino’s stuff. I’ve seen his name pop up here and there, mostly about stock market and trading. Honestly, I’m no expert, but I like checking out different approaches. So, I figured, why not? Let’s see what this guy is all about.
Getting Started
First thing, I just Googled his name. You know, the usual – see what comes up. Found his website, some YouTube videos, and a bunch of articles mentioning him. Seems like he’s got a pretty big following, lots of people talking about his strategies.
Digging In
I spent some time watching a few of his YouTube videos. He’s got this… intense energy. Kind of like a hyped-up preacher, but for the stock market. He talks a lot about “reading the tea leaves” of the market, looking at trends, and all that jazz. It’s a bit overwhelming, to be honest. So many charts and numbers!
- Watched a video on his “D.A.V.E.” system.
- Checked out another one where he’s talking about risk management.
- Browsed through some comments to see what other people think.
Trying it Out (Sort Of)
Now, I’m not about to throw my money around based on some videos, you know? But I did open up a trading simulator. Paper trading, they call it. It’s like playing with Monopoly money, but for stocks. I picked a couple of stocks he mentioned in one of his videos, just to see what would happen.
I followed his advice… loosely. Honestly, some of it was hard to understand. He uses a lot of lingo I’m not familiar with. But I tried to get the gist of it. Buy low, sell high, the usual. I even set up some “stop-loss” things, like he suggested, just in case things went south.
The Result (So Far)
It’s been a few hours, and… well, nothing dramatic. The stocks I “bought” went up a little, then down a little. It’s like watching paint dry, but with numbers. I guess that’s the stock market for you, huh? Lots of waiting around.
The big takeaway? This stuff is complicated. Mannarino seems to know his stuff, but it’s a lot to take in. Maybe for someone who’s really into day trading, it makes sense. For me, it’s more like, “Okay, interesting, but I think I’ll stick to my index funds.”
It is just my simple test and record today. I am going to keep track of those “paper trades” for a few days, just out of curiosity. Maybe I’ll learn something, maybe I won’t. Either way, it was an interesting way to spend an afternoon.
