Looking to make a quick buck on the side in stocks any help would be appreciated

Day trading. Start with $2 Million, you'll be a millionaire in no time.

You've come to the wrong neighborhood, hoglover. Turn back before the Vanguard horde consumes you!

But for real, you'll have about the same luck of turning into a professional athlete overnight as you will making quick money in the stock market somewhat consistently right now. You obviously don't know too much about the market, so how can you beat the professionals and more experienced?

find a mentor and learn as much as you can. Paper money is a very different game than trading real money

Clearly I worded this wrong ? I was just wanting some tips on how to not get duped and understanding the market. When I say quick buck I mean a couple hundred a month or less even. I'm in college and currently don't have a side job and looking for a way to get beer money basically ?

That's still not how this works.

Need beer money, get a job, or frick someone that has a job.

Good GOD almighty.

Had a boss in the mortgage business teach me an invaluable lesson over 10 years ago. I am super inquisitive by nature and was always interesting in testing the limits of our in house guidelines for the mortgage products we offered. I was in his office all the time asking questions and wanting to know about this, that or the other.

I went from a new hire to a nuisance in short order. I was also using him as a crutch and preventing myself from mastering our guidelines on my own much more quickly than just asking him everything.

So he made me bring my guidelines in along with my scenario and prove to him that I researched on my own regarding the subject I was asking about before I could ask my question.

In other words, do your own research before you ask me so YOU can show me you're learning before I help.

I sat in line with a girl I've been taking classes with since January relating to a certification exam we are both took yesterday morning. She's doing it for work. I'm doing it because there are several side hustles I'll use it for to supplement my income for away from the office. I haven't shared my plans with ANYONE else in the class. Simply put none of them showed up, or expressed anything other than an eye-rolling excuse of, "Inhave to do this for work and they're making me take the class," so to me, they don't deserve me telling them about the money that can be made using this certification.

But this little girl is getting it for work but mentioned she has been looking for part time work outside of their company. She's newly divorced, technologically challenged and was wondering if our certification could be used to help accomplish it.

She told me how she'd tried Googling but evidently her skills are limited. So I opened up chapter and verse on exactly what and how. Once we talked, she proved to me she had done the work beforehand and researched to the best of her ability and still had questions.

In short, she'd done her work up front.

In short, you haven't. So I apologize if my creativity or knowledge isn't something I'd prefer to let you use while you stand on my shoulders to make yourself more successful. How about you put in more effort than just making a post on here asking how to make a quick buck?

It sure as hell worked for me, and it worked for my classmate. It might just work for you too if you put a little more effort into it.

Keep your money in a savings account if that is what you are looking to do. It sounds like you'd lose it all immediately

Beer money? Go to Amazon Mechanical Turk. The pay per hour ducks but you should be able to swing a few bucks a week.
