Could someone with just $1000 take advantage of this downturn through stock trading?

My Roth IRA is set up okay and I’m on track with my savings (emergency is good and currently saving for a house).
With the recent dip in the market, would I be able to make money over the next 12 months with $1000? Or will fees and taxes eat into it?
Or is there a different avenue for making money in the market I should look into?
Roth is currently an ETF through VTI.

Go to E-Trade ..open an account..no cost or transaction fees.

I'd buy some of the extremely battered sectors like energy, cruise companies etc. Those probably give you your best bet to double your money.

Not really.

I'd like to find a penny stock that will be worth a quarter after the hysteria dies down.

I could see you buying 50-100 shares of MRO
and splitting the rest between a cruisline and an airline.

I remember textron at $3.86 in March 2009, missed it but bought Dow at $6.00 instead.
Pretty quickly turned my $1200 into double and triple.

At $34/share RDSA is offering a 11% dividend which would basically be for life not gonna beat a guaranteed return of 11% for basically ever

You know that if either they cut their dividend or their stock price increases that there won’t be an 11% dividend return any more?

Let me know last time they cut that dividend chief and how does the price going up change the amount you paid for that dividend per share not so good at that math thing are we

They had almost no free cash flow when oil was closer to 70/barrel. The only way they don't cut the dividend is by selling valuable assets.
Destroying value to pay a dividend is bad business in the long run

No one has really answered your question. It is yes.
You can open a small brokerage account for $1000 at several places and trade for free. Some firms have a minimum amount. Someone above was correct to suggest Etrade as a consideration.
So if what you invest in now is up in a year from now, you will have a profit if you sell. If you do, you will have to pay capital gains taxes on the profit.
If it is down, you will not have taken advantage of the market. If I could tell you what to buy and when to sell, I would be a very rich man.

I opened an Ameritrade account last week. Put 500 in and dropped another 1000 yesterday. I'm going to auto deposit about 50-100 bucks a month there. All long term plays....not trying to make a quick profit, although I'll take it. I'm trying not to log into my Vanguard account. I don't want to see how bad I've been hit.
I have 20 years to retirement, so I have a long way to go.

If you put that $1000 into the right stock, it will double when the market returns to the levels it was at a month ago. I suggest looking at SPXL.
