Thereโ€™s No I In Trade

My goal is to create a community where people can educate themselves through the world of investing. I canโ€™t do that alone, we need to build this community together. So tell me what youโ€™re loving, tell me what you want to see more of tomorrow.

Disclaimer: This is not financial advice and should not be interpreted as such. I am not a financial advisor. I may currently own or have owned many of the SPACs mentioned above – but that does not mean I am invested now. My investing method is highly risky swing trading which means I am constantly in and out of positions. Please do your own research or hit up the #SPACsquad on Twitter to learn more about SPACs.
