OT: Stock trading

My only recommendation for a novice is not to wade in beyond index ETFs until you aren't one anymore. I know that is snarky, but I think a lot of people are going to get wrecked. Some of the folks putting money in via Robin Hood have really only seen things go up, it may feel like free money.
This is great advice. Or if you really want to start playing, keep a small Robin Hood or other account with absolutely only what you are ready to lose. The likelihood of beating a low-cost ETF like Vanguard in the long-run are pretty small but the risk is a heck of a lot higher.
 
REIT's finally turning up. I've got MITT & IVR. Still a lot of room to run as they're a 1/4 of what they once were.

I like triple net leases and storage ones.

Iron mountain might be the big play. But it’s also for some serious risk

Fidelity or Vanguard index fund.

All my work stuff is with Fidelity- mix of target and company stock.
All my personal stuff is with Vanguard- target and individual stocks.
 
What’s a good purchase for today? Any recommendations for a novice?
I started by buying what I thought were safe investments that didn't have a lot of volatility such as T, Coca Cola, other companies that have a long stable track record and give dividends. I then added a decent amount of metal stocks and mining companies for stability as a hedge.

Since then I've looked at EV companies, Green Sector Companies, and others.

$NNDM, $MVIS, $UAVS have been very good so far

If you mean colo facilities, I think they are going to be huge going forward. Iron Mountain wouldn't be my choice. Too few datacenters make them poorly positioned for EDGE.

Equinix is solid. One of the best companies in the space. But the stock and profits have lagged. I think Switch is interesting as well, but also hasn't really done well as a stock.

Chamath bought $115 calls February for GME

he’s getting in on the run
That's what I don't get. These billionaires and big banks, can make a statement or write an article about a stock, and that can drastically change the price of the stock. They can also at the same time buy or sell millions of shares. All that's ok, but retail investors driving Tesla's stock or GME, in this case, is not good and should be investigated

here we go CLOV.

@UConnSwag11 These hedge fund guys are getting on shows, pumping out articles, etc trying to bully the WSB crew into selling their Gamestop positions. They aren't budging - love it, I hope they put Melvin out of business

No, they can't actually do that. If they pump and dump they are breaking the law.

I understand that, but the way they're attacking Robinhood investors or the average citizens as if they have no influence. I mean after 2008 you'd think they and the Feds would keep it mum

They spending (debt) to continually add more data centers. They have more upside than the current data center stocks imo for that reason. But also risk.
