This is pretty much exactly what I'm doing right now. I have $40 in a wealthsimple account that I decided to fuck around with to get to learn some basics before I decide If it's something I want to do more of. I' m in Canada, dunno if that makes a difference or not.

I think the first thing I learned was that WSB is full of fucken morons, r/investing is I think the smarter place to go for just learning. I find it boring as hell though, so I like to come here and try to discern patterns from the shit stains left on the walls after these monkeys are done flinging it around.

I bought a piece of a LCID share and a bit of TQQQ cause I think they're safe. I'm brand new at this too though, so I don't know. After that I bought a bunch of penny stocks just to have a lot of moving parts in my 'portfolio' and so I can see what the mechanics of buying and selling them day to day are like.

At the end of the day, it's just another form of gambling. Are you any good at sports betting? Use those skills. Also, it's $30 go nuts.
