How to Invest In The Stock Market For Beginners

March 16, 2023 / Frank Nez / 18 Comments

There comes a point when you realize that in order to build wealth it will require you to build multiple streams of income. The average millionaire has seven. The stock market is one way you can invest your earned income in order to start earning passive income and multiply your money. Here’s how to invest in the stock market step by step for beginners.

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog where you can digest content on personal finance, entrepreneurship, market news, and trending investing topics.

Lets get started!

I’ve been investing in the stock market since 2019.

When I learned how to open a brokerage account and buy company stock, I knew I had to show people how to do it too.

Everything I found online was outdated so I wanted to make it easy for people to start.

Benefits of investing in the stock market

One of the greatest benefits of investing in the stock market is that you get to hedge against inflation.

Inflation is at an all-time high right now and simply letting your money lose its value isn’t going to create wealth.

The stock market also provides an average return of 7%-8% annually which means those CDs and high yielding savings accounts are a thing of the past.

Even so, you can always create a portfolio bringing in 20%+ annual returns!

In June of 2021, AMC shareholders saw a whopping 3000% return on their investment at its high.

GameStop shareholders saw about half!

Although these trades are much different anomalies then traditional long-term investing, it paints a picture of the power of the market.

Let’s get you started!

#1. Set a Budget When Planning to Invest

Before you begin to invest you will need to set a budget on your first investment(s).

The great thing about the stock market is that you can invest with as little as $50 or so depending on the cost of a share.

A share is a fraction of a company you can own and earn money from as the company grows and profits over a period of time.

Example

If you set a budget of $200 and the share of a company you want to invest in costs $50 then you can purchase (4) four shares of said company.

If a month later the shares you purchased are worth $60 each then your shares would now be worth $240, resulting in a $40 gain.

This is how investing in the stock market works.

Note: I highly recommend having your emergency fund built prior to proceeding with investing in the stock market.

It is important to highlight that the money you invest in the stock market will need to be money you can tolerate losing.

The stock market is volatile meaning the value of your assets is constantly going up and down.

Something to keep in mind is that the value of your investments can go down just as fast if not faster than they went up.

Now, this is not addressed to scare you. The stock on average has an annual return of 6-8% per year.

Why should you invest in stocks?

Investing in stocks is a great way to diversify your portfolio.

You don’t want to keep all your eggs in one basket.

For this reason, the wealthy invest in companies they believe have long-term potential to thrive and to multiply their investment.

#2. Know What to Invest In

Now that you’ve set a budget you’ll need to know what you want to invest in.

Once you do, find the stock market symbol of the company on Google search engine.

If you wanted to invest in Coca-Cola for example, you’d search ‘stock market symbol for Coca-Cola’ on Google.

You’ll see that the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) symbol for Coca-Cola is KO.

This is how you will identify and search for companies to invest in when you’re in the market to buy stocks.

Here are some different type of investments you can invest in within the NYSE.

Stocks

A stock is a share of a company just like Coca-Cola.

Buying a share from one specific company is a stock.

Stocks are good to purchase if you strongly believe in the continued success of your choice of company.

Invest in companies that have room to grow and are constantly innovating.

Stocks I personally favor are Tesla, Apple, and Amazon.

These tech companies are always innovating therefore I have strong conviction towards their continued growth and success.

Index Funds

An index fund is a fund that tracks and follows the index (growth) of a group of companies.

When you own a share of an index fund, you own a percentage of a pool of companies oppose to just one company.

What makes an index fund great is that if a company within an index fund isn’t performing very well there are other companies that may balance the overall performance of the fund resulting in a fair return.

A popular choice is the S&P500.

This index fund tracks the performance of the top 500 companies in the United States.

This type of investment tends to be a less risky and yield great profits over the long run.

It’s an investors favorite and I personally hold shares in the S&P500.

REITS

A REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust Fund) is very similar to an index fund.

The only exception is that it invests exclusively in real estate companies oppose to other businesses.

If you want to invest in real estate without the hassle of learning the game, using cash up front, or getting into debt, REITs are a great way to diversify your portfolio into the real estate sector.

A great REIT I’m invested in is VNQ with Vanguard.

Which investment is right for you?

Each of these investments has their own benefits.

My suggestion is to research them individually as all of our needs are very unique.

As your skills develop as a retail investor, you’ll find yourself having a diversified portfolio consisting of all three.

Invest in the stock market and learn to identify which investment is best for you.

Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Warren buffett

#3. Choose a Brokerage Firm to Begin Investing in The Stock Market

This is the fun part.

Choose a reputable online brokerage firm.

A brokerage firm is a platform where you will be doing all of your investing through the NYSE.

Here you’ll be able to purchase stocks and sell them.

Each brokerage firm has their own customer advantages but are very similar to use.

Here is a list of brokerage firms you can open an account with and sign up for free.

Check out each brokerage firm’s website and see which feels more comfortable for you to navigate.

Do some research on each of them to see which has the strongest potential for your needs. I personally use Vanguard.

How to invest in the stock market for beginners

Note: When you purchase investments, there are small commission fees your investments will pay out to the firm.

They are very small in most cases and don’t hinder your earnings like you’d think. Vanguard has the lowest fees.

Each brokerage firm will have different commission fees and the percentage will vary in each firm.

For example: Coke (KO) will have a slightly different commission fee in every firm despite having the same share cost.

#4. Open your account

For this step-by-step on how to invest in the stock market I’m going to use Vanguard.

Vanguard is one of the most reliable brokerage accounts you can use.

how to invest with Vanguard
Franknez.com — How to invest in stocks for beginners

Head over to Vanguard and select ‘Open an account’.

how to open an account with vanguard — How to invest in stocks with Vanguard

Select ‘Start your new account’ to get started.

Choose the method you will be funding your new account. You can choose between:

Electronic bank transfer or another Vanguard account
Rollover from an employer plan (e.g., 401(k) plan)
Transfer investments from another financial firm

Most new retail investors will be choosing the first option, using an electronic bank transfer to fund your account.

Before you open your account to begin investing in the stock market you’ll need your bank account and routing number as well as other personal information.

Once you’re in it’s time to transfer funds into your account.

#5. Transfer Funds into Your Brokerage Account

Congratulations! Now that you’ve chosen a brokerage account to invest with, you’ll have the tools at your disposal to begin investing.

Navigate throughout your brokerage website. Get comfortable with where things are.

Things might seem very new at first, intimidating even.

Don’t worry, now that you’ve begun something new, you’ll begin to take the first steps toward self-education.

First, you’ll want to learn how to transfer funds into your brokerage account.

I will be demonstrating step by step how to do this using Vanguard.

Toggle the settings to connect your bank account with your brokerage account so you can start to invest in the stock market.

This direct line will allow you to transfer funds into your account so you may begin to purchase shares.

Once you have this set up you may transfer the money from your budget to invest in.

#6. Make Your Very First Investment in The Stock Market

Now that you’ve transferred your funds over to your brokerage account, navigate through the site to make your very first purchase.

Search the symbol of the stock, index, or REIT you will be investing in.

Note: Before purchasing, make sure you thoroughly navigate the website to get comfortable using it.

This will make the purchase experience a lot easier.

Once you pull up the investment, go through the details provided on the page.

You should be able to see its history, it’s projected return, its risk level, and so much more information about the investment.

Purchase the investment!

Purchase the investment with the option set to ‘Market’.

This option will allow you to purchase the investment instantly at the price it’s worth.

We suggest doing a test purchase since this is your first time investing in the stock market.

This will help you get a feel for it. Purchase one share so you understand the process.

It will serve as good practice and experience.

Follow up on your investment the following day and see whether your investment had gains or losses.

You’ll see for the very first time how your investment grew in value or decreased in value.

You now have a taste of what it’s like to invest in the stock market.

MMTLP Scandal Recognized as Biggest Wall Street Fraud

March 15, 2023 / Frank Nez / 25 Comments

Market News Daily: MMTLP scandal gets recognized as one of the biggest Wall Street fraud events.

The MMTLP scandal is being recognized as one of the biggest Wall Street frauds of the decade.

One of the most recent scandals has been that of the ‘meme stock’ frenzy when broker firms, hedge funds, and even regulators colluded to stop AMC, GameStop, and other stocks from rising.

Investors who held shares of MMTLP stock on the record date of December 12 would receive a preferred dividend of Next Bridge Hydrocarbon on Wednesday, December the 14th.

Investors anticipated a long-awaited MMTLP short squeeze during the last few trading days prior to the spinoff — primarily due to big buying volume flooding the market to receive Next Bridge Hydrocarbon shares.

However, MMTLP stock stopped trading on Thursday, December 8 after FINRA delisted the security without notice or warning.

FINRA released the following statement:

“Effective Friday, December 09, 2022, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) halted trading and quoting in the Series A preferred shares of Meta Materials Inc. (OTC Symbol: MMTLP).

Pursuant to Rule 6440(a)(3), FINRA has determined that an extraordinary event has occurred or is ongoing that has caused or has the potential to cause significant uncertainty in the settlement and clearance process for shares in MMTLP and that, therefore, halting trading and quoting in MMTLP is necessary to protect investors and the public interest.

The trading and quoting halt will end concurrent with the deletion of the symbol effective Tuesday, December 13, 2022.”

“See also Form S1 Registration Statement for Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, Inc. stating that…immediately after the Spin-Off, all shares of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock of Meta shall be cancelled. Available here.”

Next Bridge Hydrocarbons Weighs In

In simple terms, FINRA’s only explanation was that the halt was due to ‘uncertainty’ in the settlement process which could harm investors and public interest.

And perhaps that’s true — though shareholders don’t think they were referring to retail investors at all, but rather FINRA’s private investors and institutional partners, the hedge funds.

Next Bridge Hydrocarbons released the following statement regarding the MMTLP halt.

“We recognize that some of our shareholders who owned Meta’s Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock prior to the Spin-Off might have been affected by FINRA’s halting of the trading in that stock while the Company was still wholly owned and controlled by Meta.

The current board and officers of the Company have no information from FINRA regarding the Trading Halt other than the information in the public notice published by FINRA announcing the Trading Halt.

Further, FINRA did not provide any advance notice to the Company or Meta prior to its initiating the Trading Halt.

While we were not involved in the Trading Halt, we certainly empathize with anyone adversely affected by the Trading Halt and are assessing the matter.

The Company believes that our primary means of delivering shareholder value is to develop our interests in the Orogrande Basin, and we remain focused on this objective.”

But investors remain confused as to what happened to their money which was frozen from trading prior to the delisting.

What’s happened with MMTLP has become one of the biggest Wall Street frauds in financial history.

Real People Have Been Affected

“It was the anniversary of my husband’s passing; it was a really hard time. My kids all understood what was happening with MMTLP, and it was hard for them to understand, it was hard for me to admit to my kids the depth of the dishonesty, and lying, and cheating, and stealing that goes on in our country”, says MMTLP investor Deborah W.

“I went through the 18 months of just stringing me and my family and everyone everybody with holding off on things that we might have wanted to do; vacations we wanted to take, because I didn’t want to pull any of the money out of what I had in. And MMTLP, I had liquidated other positions, I took every spare dime we had, and I put it towards MMTLP”, says Huck, another MMTLP investor.

FINRA placed a U3 halt on MMTLP on the final days before it was delisted.

It was one of three U3 halts in the OTC market in U.S. history.

The U3 halt froze MMTLP shares so shareholders couldn’t buy nor take their money out from the security.

MMTLP was delisted, robbing MMTLP investors of their money right in front of their eyes.

The delisting protected hedge funds from having to close their short positions right before shares of MMTLP stock began to rise, or squeeze.

Retail investors are naming the MMTLP scandal one of the biggest Wall Street frauds in financial history.

Investors lost their entire retirement funds and life savings in MMTLP.

Aside from the public announcements in the beginning of this article, FINRA nor the SEC have been able to explain truly what happened to investors shares of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, or their money invested in MMTLP stock.

In the video below, MMTLP Studios goes over possible solutions the SEC and FINRA can take to make things better, along with other investor comments.

Were You Affected by the MMTLP Wall Street Fraud?

First, I’d like to say that my heart goes out to those affected by this unfair and unprecedented event in MMTLP.

Many investors in several communities are experiencing blatant manipulation in their favorite company stock in similar or their own unique way.

Raising awareness is the first step to getting the message seen.

I’ve seen and heard some of your stories through the community.

AMC keeps on keeping on, and although AMC has been on discount recently, retail investors continue to buy and hold it.

Retail investors remain excited about the data that has been collected for years now.

Will it be next week?

Or, are we looking at a longer game here?

Here’s what we know.

AMC Stock News and Highlights

FOX Business reported AMC to have a strong chance of a short squeeze in 2021.

Coming from a big news platform, it certainly brought sentiment up for most retail investors.

This is the type of news retail investors truly yearned for at the time.

AMC Short Squeeze News Fox Business — Strong chance of a short squeeze – Fox Business AMC

Today, AMC is still currently one of the most shorted stocks in the market.

As you keep reading, you’ll find the latest developments and AMC short squeeze updates for 2023.

Here’s some history and backstory on what’s happened with AMC ever since retail investors saved the company from bankruptcy.

President and CEO of AMC Entertainment Adam Aron announced AMC would reopen all 13 AMC theaters in New York City on March 5th, 2021.

As of today, all AMC movie theaters are now open across the United States with many selling out.

Check out what Adam Aron had to say (via. Investor Relations AMC)

“Since reopening our first theatres with AMC Safe & Clean in August, AMC has welcomed back nearly 10 million moviegoers nationwide without a single reported case of COVID-19 transmission among moviegoers at our theatres. We look forward to welcoming back our New York City guests to the big seats, big sounds and big screens that are only possible at a movie theatre.”
Adam aron, President and CEO of AMC Entertainment

For those who thought AMC was a dead company, think again.

The company is now generating big revenue since it’s reopening and has beat every quarter since 2021.

Melvin Capital closing in June of 2022

Melvin Capital AMC Stock — Melvin Capital Hedge Fund – AMC – AMC Stocktwits

This was huge news at the time.

Melvin Capital is a hedge fund that has been shorting both AMC and GME stock.

Melvin Capital suffered a 49% loss it’s first quarter of 2021, via. Markets Insider.

The hedge fund was scheduled to close in June of 2022.

Similarly, Anchorage Capital also closed its doors after betting against AMC stock.

Here’s why this matters:

Hedge funds who try to go against the retail wave will get burned
This is a huge win for retail investors over ‘smart money’ Wall Street
Unless shorts close their positions, hedge funds may suffer big consequences again
Today’s borrow fee rates are higher than they were in 2021 when AMC surged to $72 per share
An AMC short squeeze might be closer than we think

There are a few things retail investors did in 2021 to trigger massive price action:

They held their positions during the ups and downs
Shareholders purchased the dips
Investors shared information relating to a short squeeze (such as this article, 2021) to raise awareness
Kept tabs on charts to know when to buy (during drawdowns)

The incredible thing is 93% of market participants said they will still hold AMC stock in 2023 for a short squeeze.

Will AMC Stock Squeeze in 2023?

Positive News for AMC Entertainment (Archive 2021)

Adam Aron gives positive news on AMC Entertainment – Archive 2021

AMC Entertainment has raised more than 2.2 billion dollars in cash
90% of AMC theaters in the United States are now open with New York and Los Angeles finally reopening
Vaccinations and policies are making movie theaters safe
New movie titles are guaranteed to increase sales revenues
CEO and President Adam Aron expresses an optimistic future for AMC Entertainment
AMC Entertainment has implemented a Safe & Clean program under the advisement from Harvard University’s prestigious School of Public health as well as well as the No. 1 U.S. cleaning brand, The Clorox Company. This means movie goers can now return at ease knowing a proper sanitation program has been put in place.

Hedge fund affiliate partners such as MarketWatch, The Fool, and other finance website have been trying to redirect the public from investing in this stock.

That’s primarily because hedge funds are losing millions by the day.

A short squeeze could even put them out of business.

This is why it’s important and always has been for me to spread any positive news surrounding AMC.

I don’t believe in the manipulation of the media and I will continue to update these articles as more great news unfolds.

Is AMC Shorted?

AMC’s current short interest is around 24.85%.

As of 1/12, we’re seeing 0 shares have been made available to borrow, via Stonk-O-Tracker.

While shorts might have the capability to short AMC stock, this is only temporary.

The retail community has made big enough ruckus to where regulators are finally investigating naked shorting.

What does this mean for the AMC shareholder?

Expect to see gains after shorts have run out of borrowed shares to use and begin closing short positions.

Not only has bankruptcy been off the table since 2021 (via. Los Angeles Times), but AMC movie theater attendees have increased drastically in 2023.

This in turn has increased revenue and helped AMC Entertainment pay off more debt in the past two years.

When will an AMC short squeeze happen?

It’s really hard to tell.

Experts, analysts, and shareholders can’t identify an exact date and time.

However, the possibility of an AMC short squeeze is certainly possible given that it is still a very heavily shorted stock.

We also now have more data then ever before that indicate a massive short squeeze is almost certain to happen.

Especially now that the SEC has announced some crackdown on shorting.

With Melvin Capital and other hedge funds out of the picture, it’s only a matter of time before others close their positions.

It’s tendie time!

Analyst AMC predictions 2021

With that being said, Trey’s Trades predicted a short squeeze in 2021. Trey has been a leader in the AMC community, though he’s recently taken time off from stock content on YouTube.

Data points towards AMC stock reaching $1000+ per share.

See what Trey had to say.

AMC short squeeze – AMC Stock Forecast – AMC Stocktwits

The real question is, how can retail investors make this AMC short squeeze happen?

We know that short-sellers eventually have to close their positions. This means that they will eventually have to buy AMC stock at the current share price.

If retail investors continue to drive the share price up by buying the dip and holding their positions, short-sellers will have no other option than to buy from the retail investor at a higher share price.

2. Retail investors will also need to buy the climbs in order to show a demand for the stock. This doesn’t have to be huge buys, rather incremental to validate the current share price.

This play essentially creates a supply and demand scenario between retail investors and short-sellers.

The results? A short squeeze.

Just make sure to take your profits.

The last thing you want is to see your gains turn into losses.

Hedge funds are doing everything they can to prevent a short squeeze

How are they doing this?

By promoting false information online (we’re certain you’ve seen it)
Through strategies such as short-ladder attacks in the market
And, by restricting certain brokerage accounts from allowing its retail investors to purchase or buy shorted stocks (Robing hood)

This is what retail investors can do to fight corruption:

Share content that presents facts (blog posts, analysis videos, etc.)
Continue to educate yourself and make investment decisions based on your personal analysis
Follow your instincts

What Will an AMC Short Qqueeze Look Like?

We’ll begin to see a trend similar to that of GME (Gamestop). AMC will enter a bullish territory before hitting an ‘abnormal’ peak in which AMC would have ‘squoze’.

what will an AMC short squeeze look like? — What will an AMC short squeeze look like?

In 2023, it seems we’ve already hit the bottom.

AMC continues to be heavily shorted through dark pools and other market manipulation tactics.

This price level can be seen as a buying opportunity for retail investors looking to squeeze shorts out of their positions.

We’re now sitting at $5.46 per share.

An AMC short squeeze will certainly make headlines.

Expect to see various gains prior to any sort of major peak as well as volatility.

Gamma squeeze vs Short squeeze

Don’t confuse gains and momentum with a short squeeze.

Here’s the difference between a gamma squeeze and a short squeeze:

A gamma squeeze are momentum gains. These usually occur from call options closing in the pocket resulting in heavy buys or purchases in the market.

A short squeeze is vigorous and can spike with no warning.

This is where you see 100% gains in a matter of seconds and minutes.

A short squeeze can even reach 1000% and 10,000% gains.

In 2021, AMC’s first short squeeze rose to nearly 1,000% in January, then to more then 3,000% in June.

Retail investors believe AMC’s next price surge will set a new all-time high from its current of $72 per share.

AMC Short Squeeze Stock Prediction – Can AMC Reach $500K Per Share?

New retail investors are wondering whether $1k, $10k, or even $100k per share is even possible.

Gabe from ReviewDork did some math at the time that’s going to leave you with an open mind.

AMC Stock Forecast – AMC Stocktwits

AMC stock price predictions range from $1,000 to $100k+.

But I’m curious to know your thoughts on this.

Leave a comment at the end of the blog post.

Will AMC Reach Peaks Like GameStop?

will AMC peak like GameStop — Will AMC go up like GameStop?

AMC and GameStop blew Wall Street out of the water in 2021.

Trading volume will speak for itself, and retail investors will just have to wait to find out whether AMC can reach GameStop numbers.

We’ve seen that abnormal gains are naturally part of a short squeeze.

Volkswagen rose up to nearly $1,000 when it squeezed back in 2008 due to a similar strategy produced by car manufacturer Porsche.

Wouldn’t this be something. If you’re holding 1,000 shares and AMC spikes to $1K per share, you my friend have made 1 million dollars!

I strongly suggest using a reputable broker such as Vanguard or Fidelity oppose to phone apps like Robinhood.

Simply because the broker colluded with market maker Citadel to halt the buying of ‘meme stocks’.

Is It Too Late to Get in On AMC stock?

Absolutely not, at least not yet.

AMC Entertainment is still heavily shorted.

Redditors have touched base on this topic and are determined anything below $100 is a buy, for a short squeeze that is.

Where was AMC trading at before the pandemic?

AMC was actually trading between $30-$35 back in the booming party economy of 16′!

AMC stock started to decline as their debt increased and hedge funds began to heavily short it.

However, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. is in a completely different world today than it was during the pandemic.

What If a Short Squeeze Doesn’t Happen?

If an AMC short squeeze doesn’t occur, AMC stock price will still go up allowing shareholders to make at least some sort of profit.

That is, for those whose majority of shares were purchased at today’s current lows.

With AMC theaters now open, it’s inevitable that the company will begin to see bigger sales revenue every time a new title is released.

Keep in mind that AMC’s share price during the booming party economy of 16′ was roughly around $30 per share.

If a short squeeze doesn’t happen, fundamentals will continue to bring the stock up as more investors are buying the stock.

However, a short squeeze not happening is very unlikely as AMC is currently still one of the most heavily shorted stock in the market and most held stock, beating both Apple (AAPL) and Tesla (TSLA), via. NASDAQ.

Majority of the float is also held by retail investors, so the company has a huge support.

Related: How Big Could an AMC Short Squeeze Potential Surge?

Why Hasn’t AMC Squeezed Yet?

AMC hasn’t squeezed yet primarily to two main reasons.

The stock requires volume to drive the stock price action up
Shorts need to close their positions

Volume will surge as more and more retail investors (as well as institutions) get in on AMC stock.

Regarding shorts closing, retail investors need to squeeze them out of their positions by holding their positions and helping increase AMC’s short borrow fee.

You can keep tabs on AMC’s short borrow fee as it changes every day via. Ortex, or Fintel.

AMC short borrow fee

As of 3/9 AMC’s short borrow fee rate is 102%.

In 2021, Wanda Group had caused a little bit of disruption for retail investors by profiting on the first sight of gains.

This turmoil was only short-term but is a reason why we’ve seen some selloff in the market a few weeks ago.

However, Adam Aron has brought awareness in an interview with Trey’s Trades that this selloff from Wanda is simply policy from China.

Despite going around the breaking partnership, Wanda cashed out completely two years ago, making retail investors the biggest stakeholder in the company.

Is AMC Ever Going to Squeeze?

All the numbers point towards the right direction for a massive short squeeze.

Latest AMC Short Squeeze Update and News

Interactive Brokers Chief Strategist Steve Sosnick says there’s big demand to short AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock.

He says the biggest reason aside from the company’s fundamentals is its new merge with its equity (NYSE:APE).

“It’s very hard to keep the momentum in these things because economic reality does take hold.

Bed Bath & Beyond, at one point was the best performing stock on the board until reality set in and they began defaulting, averted bankruptcy, but using a deal that is so dilutive that it’s unavoidable.”

Sosnick says AMC is in a very special situation because of the proposal to merge APE with AMC common shares.

“Right now we’re seeing such a demand to short AMC partly because of its difficulties but partly because of the special situation.

This really is what they were looking for in some ways as the mother of all short squeezes.

The borrow rate, it costs you 700% to borrow the shares overnight — if you can find them,” said the Interactive Brokers Chief Strategist on Yahoo Finance.

Ken Griffin Thanks Redditors for ‘Meme Stocks’

“Redditors, thank you so much for helping create the best pipeline we’ve ever had”, said Ken Griffin on Business Insider.

Ken Griffin, on how the GameStop frenzy helped raise Citadel’s profile with potential hires.

Business Insider says the SEC found no truth to any of the conspiracy theories but how can the SEC really go against one of the most powerful hedge funds in the world?

Transcripts showed Citadel and Robinhood did in fact have “blunt negotiations” the night prior to the halts.

A Miami district court judge admitted the Citadel and Robinhood transcripts were suspicious.

However, the federal court has dismissed the case due to a ‘lack of evidence’.

Research shows Judge Cecilia Altonaga had a close connection to the defendant’s law firm, insinuating a conflict of interest in the case.

It’s True, The Threshold Security Could Change The Game: AMC

February 9, 2023 / Frank Nez

AMC Threshold List — The SEC’s Threshold Security protects AMC from hedge fund manipulation

AMC Entertainment has joined the NYSE Threshold Securities list again.

The last time made this list was sometime in June of 2021.

This educational article is going to go over what this means for the company and how it even made the list in the first place.

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog brining retail investors the latest market news.

Lets get started!

What is a Threshold Securities List?

AMC threshold securities list — Threshold Securities AMC List.

A threshold security protects stocks that have had 5 consecutive settlement days in a clearing house as “Fail-To-Delivers“.

Protection from the SEC also requires that the stocks FTDs total more than 10,000 shares.

A fail-to-deliver for our new retail investors basically means that an investors trading contract, such as a call option, was not executed when it should have been.

This occurs when a clearing house does not deliver on their obligation to close the contract.

This creates fail-to-delivers which in turn limits the momentum and growth of a stocks price action.

In other words, it tampers with the natural flow of a stock’s growth.

FTDs and naked shorting

Another known cause for FTDs is the practice of naked short selling.

This is when hedge funds trade imaginary shares that they don’t own or exist.

These transactions fail to clear since the shares were never in a traders account to begin with.

This illicit activity is basically like adding zeros to a check you received without the full amount being in that account.

When you get caught you’ll eventually have to pay it back.

It’s that or you go to jail but we all know these sleezy people always get bail.

Well now the SEC has gotten involved and is saying no more.

We’ve been heard community.

And this is massive news.

Here’s how this will affect AMC’s stock price.

Why is a threshold security significant to AMC?

A threshold security comes with regulations that heavily play in retail’s favor.

One of the regulations is known as rule 204.

Rule 204 requires brokers and dealers that are participants of a clearing house to close out failure-to-deliver positions.

Yes you read that correctly.

Here is the source straight from the SEC’s “key points” under III. Regulation SHO.

“Closing out requires the broker or dealer to purchase or borrow securities of like kind and quantity.”
SEC

AMC Entertainment was added to the NYSE Threshold Securities list on Friday, June 25th 2021 during the ‘meme stock frenzy’.

This year it made the list this month.

Section 203(b)(3) states that clearing houses must close FTDs if they persist on to 13 consecutive trading days.

Why it Matters

It’s a win-win situation for retail investors. If hedge funds continue to manipulate the market and generate FTDs then they’ll be obligated by law to cover the millions of dollars and shares they’ve been failing to process.
On the other hand, if shorts begin to properly exercise contracts then we will begin to see momentum pick up rather quickly from executed trades. This too can create several gamma squeezes due to the amount of volume being pumped into the market.

By adding AMC Entertainment to the Threshold Securities list, the SEC is basically stepping in and calling hedge funds out on the court.

It’s a way of saying things need to be done the right way or else.

I’m extremely curious to see how this will play out.

What do you think?

How Do Hedge Funds Manipulate The Stock Market?

February 8, 2023 / Frank Nez

Hedge funds have been manipulating the stock market for decades.

But it wasn’t until now that a community has risen to raise awareness of market injustices.

The shorting of both AMC and GameStop stock have uncovered a number of nefarious strategies used against retail investors.

What is the SEC doing to regulate these financial entities?

We’re here to find out.

Let’s get started!

Overleveraging Borrowed Shares

Hedge funds have an incredible supply of short shares available to borrow.

This advantage has allowed them to manipulate a stock’s share price by initiating short-ladder attacks.

While supply and demand are pushing a stock’s price up, hedge funds short the stock using an insane amount of leverage.

This predatorial strategy has yet to be announced as illegal nor has it been addressed by the SEC.

Off Exchange Trading

Hedge funds and market makers are getting away with being able to trade and swap stock in foreign exchanges where the stock’s price isn’t required to be disclosed.

They’re taking retail orders and, in a way, manipulating the circulating supply by not reporting accurate transactions.

We’ve seen this happen with Barclays.

Stock market manipulation — Barclays CEO, Jes Staley – Hedge fund manipulation

Reports by Finra have been made public detailing multiple fines on Barclays for inaccurate books and records.

Barclays is one of Citadel’s clearing houses.

Off exchange trading where transactions aren’t displayed on the list market such as the NYSE is a massive problem the SEC is still trying to figure out.

Though the SEC is trying to implement the D-Limit order that will allow stocks to trade under IEX, they’re having trouble from hedge funds and market makers.

Citadel has sued the SEC on this matter, we have yet to receive a public update on the case.

Naked Shorting

AMC and GameStop have had an incredible amount of FTDs, or failure-to-delivers.

These are orders that have not been executed in options, and are usually a result of a ‘short party’ not owning or not having all of the underlying asset.

This has led retail investors to the educated assessment that synthetic shares are floating in the market; shares known as naked shares used to short a stock.

According to Investopedia, “Despite being made illegal after the 2008–09 financial crisis, naked shorting continues to happen because of loopholes in rules and discrepancies between paper and electronic trading systems.”

Naked shorting has gone mainstream with CNBC’s Melissa Lee and Fox Business’s Charles Payne bringing light to this predatorial practice in the market.

Retail investors must use their voice to address these issues to the SEC.

The Use of Mainstream Media Outlets

According to The Fool, you should invest in this or that “instead”.

We’ve seen the headlines countless times.

The Motley Fool is a source that provides its subscribers with hand-picked stocks with potential gains.

With tremendous respect, stick to what you do.

The integrity of this company is to help investors pick winning stocks, not to divert them from a stock due to its potential upside that can cause hedge fund partners to lose billions of dollars.

And that’s exactly what happened.

No matter how many times mainstream media outlets tried to divert retail investors from buying AMC stock, it cost hedge funds a lot of money all year.

And at the same time, a lot of retail investors have a lot of unrealized gains.

This ladies and gentlemen is how the media has tried to manipulate the performance of a stock.

This influence can sway a new retail investor from adding to the surging volume of shares being purchased in the market.

To the new retail investor – make your financial decisions based on your own due diligence.

Not on what media sources get paid to write about.

Yahoo Finance & InvestorPlace

Platforms such as Yahoo Finance & InvestorPlace have also had their fair share of negative headlines to try and divert the public from skyrocketing AMC to the moon.

With InvestorPlace even throwing a jab at GME investors saying, “If You’ve Made Money On GameStop, You’re Not An Investing Genius”.

Perhaps not, but I’m pretty certain these investors are wealthier than the person who came up with that punchline.

These media sources have been discouraging new retail investors from investing in AMC since the beginning of the year although the stock is up year-to-date!

Manipulation In the Stock Market

robinhood stock market manipulation — Robing Hood? Stock market manipulation

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the Robinhood scandal.

This is another form of manipulation in the stock market caused by the halt of buying power.

Robinhood prevented its users from buying stocks such as AMC and GME (GameStop) during GME’s bull run.

Although restrictions aren’t as tight anymore, we’re beginning to see trusted and beloved companies get exposed as hedge funds worst nightmares become a reality.

Today we’re seeing more people learn about how the stock market moves.

If more of the public is to understand how hedge funds pose a risk to our economy and businesses, we must expose these financial institutions for who they really are.

Read: Why new retail investors investing in AMC should avoid Robinhood

A House of Cards, r/superstonks (Reddit Post)

A Redditor just posted an insane amount of DD on Reddit.

This long form post discusses the transition from paper filled orders in the stock market to the use of computers going tracing back to the mid 80s.

The post reveals the beginning of issuing naked shares.

We’re also learning that a lot of transaction are being held by the actual institutions that are shorting these stocks.

Robinhood routes more than half of it’s customers to Citadel.

This information has now been disclosed via the Washington Post.

You can read the full Reddit post here.

Trey’s Trades does a quick breakdown on this DD as well.

The video is embedded for your viewing pleasure.

It costs retail investors nothing to hold, but it costs shorts and hedge funds money every day.

It’s only a matter of time before a squeeze occurs, no matter how manipulated the stock market gets.

Franknez.com fights The Fool, Yahoo Finance, and InvestorPlace

Franknez.com is fighting for the community against malpractice from all news media shunning AMC, GameStop, and other retail favorites.

This platform will serve as a positive media outlet for the community and only spread factual documentation, and news related cited-sources.

I will not encourage retail investors to take a position in any stock.

However, I will outline the facts and evidence to help you make your own personal financial decision.

How can retail investors bring awareness to the community?

Retail investors can expose false information on social media to shine light on manipulation tactics driven by hedge fund partners.

Sharing factual and positive articles relating to the performance or analytics of a particular stock is another way the investing community can stay united.

Franknez.com is a platform for the community.

Is AMC Stock A Buy Or Is It Too Late?

February 2, 2023 / Frank Nez

is AMC a good stock to buy? Is it too late to buy AMC Entertainment stock? — Is AMC a good stock to buy? Is it too late to buy AMC Entertainment stock?

If you’ve been following the stock market news you’ve probably heard of all the hype surrounding AMC stock and GME (GameStop).

It wasn’t long before traders flocked over to AMC after the massive gains GameStop yielded due to the high percentage of shorting within the stocks.

Shorting a stock is the process by which sellers essentially bet on the stock price to drop.

They borrow stocks at higher cost, sell it, and buy back the stock low, profiting the difference.

Well, investors over at r/wallstreetbets found that by purchasing stocks at low price in heavy volumes it would drive a short squeeze.

A short squeeze occurs when a stock jumps sharply higher, forcing short sellers to buy higher, causing them to lose money.

Lots of it.

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog where you can digest content on personal finance, stocks, crypto, and other trending investing news.

Let’s get started!

Will we see a squeeze with AMC?

There are numerous news that lead traders and investors alike to predict an upcoming short squeeze like we saw with GME (Gamestop).

CEO of AMC announces AMC is no longer going bankrupt (via. Los Angeles Times)
Vanguard, Wells Fargo, BMO Harris, BlackRock, Fidelity and many more institutions are buying AMC stock while it’s low (via. CNN Business)
AMC is heavily shorted, with more than 22% short interest.
AMC is also currently one of the most held stocks surpassing Apple (AAPL) and Tesla (TSLA) (via. Nasdaq)
More publicity and awareness has average people investing in AMC which is driving volume for a potential squeeze

Related: 93% of AMC Shareholders Say They're Holding This Year

Retail investors keep buying AMC stock

We’re seeing retail investors continue to invest in AMC stock while it’s affordable.

And because it’s affordable, we’re also seeing average people invest in this stock.

As long as the stock is being held, though lows and through highs, a squeeze like we saw with GME (GameStop) is certainly possible.

AMC stock closed at $6.08 on February 2nd.

The stock has been on discount.

However, the community sentiment remains bullish meaning retail investors keep buying and holding the stock to squeeze shorts from their positions.

Shorts continue to short ladder the stock causing the downtrend we’ve been seeing for over two years now.

But AMC wants to keep climbing.

As long as AMC shareholders continue to hold and buy the dip, short investors are at a disadvantage.

Great news for AMC Entertainment (Archive Data)

News from 2021 helped drive AMC stock prices up momentarily when AMC Entertainment announcement that most AMC theaters had begun to reopen.

AMC’s cost to borrow the stock today is 213%.

The fee is going up after being down for many months.

What is AMC cost to borrow?

The cost to borrow fee is the interest shorts pay for borrowing shares of AMC stock.

This means shorts are losing money every day by not closing their positions.

A surging short borrow fee rate could incentivize shorts to close their positions due to higher borrowing costs.

Why does the cost to borrow rate matter?

It costs shorts interest to hold while it costs the retail investor absolutely nothing to hold.

Shorts are losing money month they hold because of this interest fee for borrowing the stock.

For some reason shorts still think AMC Entertainment can go bankrupt, although they have enough money to continue doing business.. I know, I don’t understand this either.

As hedge funds like Citadel lose money, the short borrow fee only increases those losses.

AMC’s share price might be on discount right now, but hedge funds are experiencing losses on top of losses.

They’ll eventually have to close their short positions; will you miss it?

How high can AMC stock go up to?

Because we’ve seen a lot of suppression in the market, many traders are anticipating AMC stock can get as high if not higher than GME (GameStop).

This of course is just speculation as both stocks are heavily shorted and more people and institutions alike are buying and holding the stocks.

There’s a notion that all these suppressed gains may result in a massive short squeeze at any moment.

There are AMC short squeeze price predictions ranging from $100 to $1,000, and higher.

So, is it too late to purchase AMC stock?

The price after a short squeeze eventually fall back down and level out, but this will take time.

AMC seems to have bottomed out and begin to bounce back after its incredible climb to $72 per share more than a year ago.

Despite what corporate media is pushing, AMC’s growth tells us the stock is undervalued.

But most importantly, there are plenty of short sellers that have yet to close their positions.

Hedge funds continue to short AMC and the volume is increasing; it’s the perfect storm for a short squeeze.

Things to expect in the market with AMC

Volatility followed with an upward trend in price action
Short-ladder attacks
Headlines advising you to trade in something else
Hedge funds to lose a lot of money
More retail investors buying this stock right now
A series of gamma squeezes
And, a highly potential short squeeze that can happen at any time

Related: Are Institutions Preparing to Close Short Positions in AMC?

How many AMC shares should I buy?

If you’re planning on taking a position in AMC Entertainment set a budget for investing.

Since the market is volatile at the moment, purchase shares incrementally.

The best time to buy a stock is when the share price has dipped.

This will allow your investment to see gains when the stock price rises again.

Ladies and gentlemen, the last thing you want to do is to invest more than you can handle to lose.

This advisory must be made.

If you’re holding AMC stock leave a comment below and let me know what a short squeeze would mean for you.

Where can I invest in AMC? What’s a good platform?

If you have not opened a brokerage account to begin investing, read how to invest in the stock market (step by step).

While the US investors over at r/wallstreetbets use Robinhood, it’s not available if you live in Canada.

Instead, you can use WealthSimple Trade or InteractiveBrokers

In this post you will see a number of linked platforms that you can check out!

I personally use Vanguard.

Vanguard has proven to be useful, and it has never failed me before.

Important Advisory

It is important to note that I am not a licensed financial advisor.

Like many traders and self-taught investors, all speculation is based on educated estimations based on highly reliable analysis, patterns, and documented news charts.

On another note: It would be wise to not invest more than you can afford to lose. In other words, invest money you would be okay with losing for simpler terms.

Avoid bogus headlines from The Motley Fool and other sources

AMC and r/wallstreetbets have been given lots of negative press from the likes of The Motley Fool and other sources; shaming the purchase of the stock.

Fortunately, the AMC community has been backed up by Mark Cuban, Chance the Rapper, and other big names.

Influential outlets with powerful hedge fund partners (institutions who short the stock) have been attacking traders and investors by providing false information wherever they can.

What we’re seeing right now is that the big guys are losing money due to the price of shorted stocks going up.

They will say and do whatever they can to divert the public from trading this stock.

My personal suggestion to you is to not let these sources intimidate you.

Do your research to see how the stock price has been manipulated through bogus headlines and short-ladder attacks.

Not to mention, the complete halt of trading AMC stock by Robinhood.

When Do Shorts Have to Close Their Positions in AMC?

February 2, 2023 / Frank Nez

When will shorts close their short positions in AMC? When will shorts cover AMC? — When will shorts close their positions in AMC? When will shorts cover AMC?

Every retail investor holding a position in AMC wants to know, when will shorts close their positions?

And I don’t blame you.

This one is a little tricky.

See, it’s like saying, “when will retail investors sell their positions?”

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog that fights for you, the retail investor. Today I want to discuss shorts closing.

Let’s get started!

Retail investors have been waiting patiently for AMC Entertainment stock to rip.

You’ve been holding through the ups and downs and even buying the dips.

And although we did see AMC’s share price surge in 2021, the short sellers are still here in 2023.

So, why aren’t shorts closing their positions yet?

What do retail investors need to do to squeeze hedge funds out of their money?

Let’s discuss it.

Are shorts obligated to close their positions?

When do shorts have to close their positions in AMC?

Let’s start with the fundamental question.

Are shorts obligated to close their positions?

Now, there are currently no rules regarding how long a short can hold before closing out their position.

However, lenders do have the right to demand the seller closes their position with minimal notice.

This is rare and only occurs if the the seller isn’t paying the interest fee, or the interest fee is ridiculously high.

“A short position may be maintained as long as the investor is able to honor the margin requirements and pay the required interest and the broker lending the shares allows them to be borrowed.” – Investopedia

When an interest fee is extremely high, it makes a stock difficult to borrow which obligates the short seller to close their positions.

Short sellers are burning big money to keep these positions open in 2023 though.

You’ll want to keep an eye on this interest as it will determine just how much shorts are bleeding.

I update AMC’s short interest data (and others) here daily.

Why does the “Cost to Borrow” fee matter?

The cost to borrow fee is an interest that short sellers must pay for borrowing AMC shares to short the company stock.

These fees are currently at an all-time high.

Short sellers will hold in hopes to drive AMC’s share price right back down to the floor.

However, AMC is trending upwards now and has absolutely no intention of going back down.

Analysts data and AI predictions all point towards a high possibility of a short squeeze.

Even Fintel’s short squeeze score has been as high as 80-90% in recent weeks.

This short borrow fee is going to continue to go up as AMC stock becomes harder to borrow.

For short sellers, a low short borrow fee is in their favor.

Hedge funds much rather pay the fee and stubbornly continue to hold their positions against retail investors.

But, if the short borrow fee is high enough to hurt the borrower, they will be more inclined to close their positions before losing an excruciating amount of money.

Just In: Short Sellers Are Down $81 Billion This Year

How can retail investors help drive the short borrow fee up?

Retail investors have helped drive the short borrow fee up simply by holding their positions.

When AMC squeezes, not every short will close their positions immediately.

This means retail investors won’t ever be able to time the high.

There will be short sellers who will continue to short even as share prices rise.

If we begin to see AMC’s price action rise monumentally, it is important to have a plan on how to take profits.

Just like a day trade, investors may be profitable for some time until they see gains turn into losses, which usually occurs due to greed in the markets.

This is what you want to avoid.

Important advisory: I am not a licensed financial advisory. I simply have a passion for finance and writing.

What happens when a short close their position?

A short position will be profitable if it is closed at a lower price than the initial transaction; it is at a loss if it is closed at a higher price.

In AMC’s case, shorts who drove began to short around $5 but are still holding to-date are at a loss.

AMC is currently trading around $6.08 per share as of 2/2.

When there’s a ton of shorts closing (in a particular stock), it will result in a short squeeze.

What is a short squeeze?

A short squeeze occurs when a stock spikes in price action due to an increase of short-sellers closing out their positions.

We’ve seen a short squeeze happen with both GameStop and Volkswagen. GME topped almost $500 while Volkswagen spiked shy below $1,000 back in 2008.

Some short sellers closed in June of 2021 when AMC shares rose to $72 per share as well.

AMC’s price skyrockets to more than +3,000% that year!

Short squeezes are massively profitable for retail investors.

These phenomena are how people are able to accumulate wealth in such little time.

So, when will AMC shorts close?

When do shorts have to close their position? — When will shorts close their short positions in AMC? When will shorts cover AMC?

Instead of exiting, short sellers have been holding.

Just as retail investors have high conviction on massive price action, hedge funds still have conviction on shorting the company to delist it.

But AMC Entertainment isn’t going bankrupt and AMC shareholders aren’t leaving.

AMC said bankruptcy was no longer on the table years ago and some Wall Street analysts have said the industry is on a solid path to resurgence, via Hollywood Reporter.

In fact, the short thesis is beginning to change with many incredible developments happening in the movie theatre industry.

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is up more than 54% this year-to-date and it looks like the stock has bottomed out.

As we continue to see a high utilization and the short borrow fee increase, we can only expect shorts may be incentivized to close sooner than later.

Will AMC’s price action continue to go up?

AMC stock has always had high demand from shareholders.

While many of these retail activists continue to hold losses from June’s drop, it’s possible this changes – granted that short sellers close out their positions this year.

Short sellers will have the option to hold their loses on paper for months to come (with fees) or close their position at the current share prices.

Short selling is a risky business and bulls have sent a message – “we’re not leaving”.

With new titles coming to AMC movie theaters as well as new developments, we’re only going to continue to see a surge in price action due to an increase in the company’s fundamental growth.

Even if shorts continue to hold, lenders will eventually run up the interest rate again, forcing them to throw in the towel.

Leave a comment below and let the community know what a short squeeze would mean for you.

TD Ameritrade Reports 40.25% AMC Short Interest

January 16, 2023 / Frank Nez

TD Ameritrade AMC Short Interest Glitch — Market News: TD Ameritrade AMC glitch.

Screenshots from TD Ameritrade have come up on Twitter of AMC’s short interest at 40.25%.

Ortex is reporting AMC to have a short interest of 16.99% (2021 Archive).

So where is TD Ameritrade pulling up this information from?

They actually have a response to that.

Welcome to Franknez.com – the ape community has mentioned from time to time that a lot of the data provided by financial institutions is skewed. Here’s an example that happening right now.

“Our news and research is provided by Third Party Vendors”

So, why is this short interest data important?

Retail investors rely on the short interest data to determine how much of a company’s float is being shorted.

The short interest that Ortex is reporting is significantly less than that of TD Ameritrade’s.

TD Ameritrade’s short interest data is more than double that of Ortex.

Short interest data also enables us to see how much ‘squeeze potential‘ there is in a heavily shorted stock.

At least to a certain degree.

So if we have sources reporting masked or hidden short interest data, it’s deceit in many accounts.

Or is this simply a glitch from TD Ameritrade?

The ape community is questioning why ticker symbol AMC is the only stock that has had a significant number of glitches throughout the year.

Or are the real numbers being masked to divert the public from jumping in on this short squeeze play.

Afterall, hedge funds have begun closing, with many losing billions this year.

Read: Anchorage Capital closes after betting against AMC stock

Where is this data coming from?

The data comes from MorningStar but both TD Ameritrade and ETrade experienced this anomaly in their system.

According to TD Ameritrade, this was a glitch in their system.

However, the data would have not been changed unless the retail community pointed it out.

Was this a mistake on their end that retail was not supposed to see?

Or was this legit one of several glitches that has been occurring specifically for AMC Entertainment stock?

I’d love to know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Thank you for asking. We've checked and found the data to not be correct. Our technology team is working to correct the information. We have no ETA but hope to have correct data restored soon. Thank you for your patience. ^ZJ
— TD Ameritrade (@TDAmeritrade) December 29, 2021

The broker is stating their technology team is working to correct the information but have no ETA as to when the correct data will be restored.

Why so many glitches with AMC stock?

AMC Entertainment has been experiencing several glitches throughout 2021.

They have varied from skewed data such as the short interest, to chart patterns, and even share price.

The ape community has concluded over the months that AMC’s short interest data is significantly higher than what is being displayed.

Lou from the YouTube channel has even concluded that AMC’s share price is being masked and could be in the hundreds to even thousands of dollars per share.

Now, while these are rather extreme claims, it’s not difficult to understand why such claims have been made.

AMC is one of the most overleveraged stocks from hedge funds shorting it.

Millions upon millions of shares have been borrowed to short it all year.

The feds have now begun investigating short selling practices and are tackling hedge funds who pose systemic risk.

As more hedge funds close, and others continue to bleed their customers, retail investors suspect they will do everything in their power to deceive retail from squeezing them from their short positions.

An interesting narrative, but a very likely one just as much.

5 Easy Ways You Can Earn Leverage Income: Start Now

Leverage Income Ideas That Can Make You Rich – how to make money online

Leveraged income is probably one of the best incomes you can have.

You essential create something once and get paid for it multiple times!

Guys, this is how you can end up generating what Dan Lok calls F.U. money.

This type of passive income is what’s going to set you free.

Here are 5 ways you can earn leveraged income.

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog where you can digest content on personal finance, side hustle ideas, entrepreneurship, and trending investing topics.

Lets get started!

There are 3 Types of Income

But before I get into them, let’s quickly discuss the different types of income.

There are three main types of income, all of which require different resources in order to move them.

Linear Income – The first is linear income, which is the type of income most people have. It’s where the resource you trade for money is your time. This is your typical 9-5 job, freelance, etc.
Passive Income – Passive income is money generated through investments. This can be income from a high interest CD or savings account. It can also be in the form of dividends paid out from shares of stocks. Passive income may also be generated from rental income if you own property. The resource required for this type of income is capital.
Leveraged Income – And finally, there’s leveraged income. Enough leveraged income and you no longer have to rely on linear income to pay your bills. Leveraged income is earned by creating something once and getting paid continuously for it. You’ll need an audience in order to make the most out of this type of income.

6 levels of income by Dan Lok

If your goal is to become wealthy, you need to get rid of your linear income.

This income is holding you back more than you know.

Why work 8 hours for someone else when you can use 8 hours of your day to work on growing your own business.

How can I escape my 9-5 job?

Escaping your 9-5 is going to require a lot of work on your part but it is certainly possible.

You’ll need to pick up a side hustle while you’re employed.

You can also choose to start your own business or follow an art project.

Once you’ve chosen what you’d like to pursue, work on this idea every day after work.

When I learned that Elon Musk and Steve Jobs all had the same hours in a day as I do, I really started using my time wisely.

Figure out how to earn money outside of your job so you’re not 100% dependent on your linear income.

Start setting yourself up for passive income

One way I started was by setting myself up for passive income.

I then downloaded the app Mint by Intuit to track my net worth. It gradually went from $6K to $10K and so on.

It has since reached +$100k.

I began putting money in stocks and in a high yield savings account where my money would do something.

Rather than have it collect dust I figured I’d put it to use.

When I saw returns I let go of fear that was holding me stuck to the 9-5.

If you aren’t investing in the stock market yet bookmark this post on how to invest in the stock market for beginners.

I share my personal stock and crypto purchases over at the Patreon too.

Once you’ve begun to earn some money from passive income look towards creating an asset that can provide you with leverage income.

There are many ways you can do this.

Leverage Income Ideas

Now that you have a better understanding of the 3 main types of income, here are 5 great ways you can start to earn leveraged income.

#1. Publish a Book

If you love to write, publishing a book can be a great way for you to plant a seed for the future.

Publishing a book has also never been easier.

By writing a book or an e-book in my case, you can put out in the market and receive earning from every person who purchases it.

I wrote my e-book “Reaching The $10K Mark: How Perseverance Overrides Adversity” before really knowing that this was a form of leverage income.

I wanted to write a piece of content that would allow me to connect with my readers. This e-book is about the struggles in sales.

In this story, I break down how I started in my sales career and set goals only to fail countless times over.

But I never gave up.

This inspiring e-book resonates with anyone who knows what it feels like to get pushed ashore by constant hitting waves.

Whether you publish a book or an eBook for that matter, you can earn leveraged income from royalties every time someone purchases your book.

If you love to write, consider joining a community of writers who share your enthusiasm and passion.

Network with them and begin to build a following based on your thoughts, expertise, and creativity.

Where can I publish an e-book?

You can self-publish your own e-book through Amazons KDP program.

Here you can upload your PDF format book and very own cover.

It’s super easy to manage.

You can check how many people have purchased your book and even how many people enrolled in Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited have read your pages.

Reaching the 10k mark franknez.com — Leverage Income Ideas – eBook – how to make money online

You can find “How To Reach The $10K Mark: How Perseverance Overrides Adversity” on Amazon here.

Do I get paid if people read my pages but don’t buy my book?

Yup! Amazon pays its authors when their Amazon Kindle Unlimited members read up to a certain amount of pages.

So even if your book isn’t selling, you still have an opportunity to earn money from members reading your book online.

Writing my own e-book has been an amazing part of my journey. I wanted to provide my readers with real in-depth and honest value.

Reaching The $10K Mark is a book about never giving up.

If you’re in the mood for a short story that will spark a wince of inspiration feel free to check it out.

#2. Monetize YouTube Content

Another way you can earn leverage income is by creating content on YouTube.

YouTube has allowed many people to monetize their videos with advertisement.

Here’s a perfect example of doing the work once and getting paid multiple times for it.

A YouTube video can earn you money for many many years.

That’s because people are always finding new videos to watch.

By placing ads on your videos, you will get paid as long as people continue to view your content no matter how long it’s been since you uploaded it.

How can I put ads on my videos?

Leverage YouTube views
Franknez.com — Leverage Income Ideas – Monetize YouTube Videos – how to make money online

YouTube is a great platform to earn leveraged income due to how massive your reach can potentially be.

The requirements to monetize your YouTube content is that you earn 1,000 subscribers and generate at least 4,000 hours of watch time.

The key to reaching the requirements simply depends on the quality of your videos and how consistently you upload to your channel.

Once your videos are displaying ads you essentially begin to generate an income no matter where you are in the world.

What you’ve done is created a video, and that video now pays you every time someone watches or clicks the ads.

This ladies and gentlemen, is the power of leveraged income.

It’s the reason why so many YouTubers are making a living from their videos.

Users are making money from all type of videos including:

Gaming
Cooking
DIY Tutorials
Time-Lapses
Sports
Animation
Personal finance
Commentary
Unboxing and Reviewing
Reactions
Grooming and Beauty
Cars and Tech
Business
Paranormal

YouTube is a platform I eventually want to personally work more on.

It’s a great place to share content and provide further value using animation or video.

Is it free to create a YouTube channel?

Yes. It’s absolutely free to create your own YouTube channel.

You can upload as many videos as you want, too.

FrankNez YouTube Channel – easy ways to make money online

While my primary focus at the moment is to continue growing my blog, I’ve been publishing more videos on my channel for the community.

I discuss market news or the topics of new articles I publish.

Subscribe here to be some of our first and early subscribers!

If you have a channel leave a comment below and I will subscribe back!

#3. Leverage Blog Views

There are a variety of ways to earn money from blogging with ads being the most popular.

You start to earn leveraged income when your blog posts are displaying ads.

Every post you publish has the potential to make a considerable amount of money depending on how big your audience is.

Bluehost blog leverage income with views — Bluehost is the #1 recommended webhost provider by WordPress – make money online

Learn how to start a blog here

Just like publishing a book, you only have to write a blog post once for it to rank and reach a massive audience.

Now, this is not saying you don’t have to publish consistently.

If that were the case, you wouldn’t even be eligible to monetize in the first place.

Blogging is on this list due to the possibility of writing a post and earning money for only writing on that topic once.

Blogging ideas for 2022

Blogging with Bluehost leverage income ideas

Travel
Food & recipe
Entertainment & news
Automotive
Health & well being
Fashion & makeup
Technology
Finance & business
Product reviews
Paranormal / metaphysical

People are blogging about just anything.

If you love to write then blogging can be a great way platform for you to provide value.

If you’re an expert in an area or simply have a lot of knowledge about a specific thing then blogging might be a great way for you to earn leveraged income.

Reasons why you need to start blogging today

I personally believe everyone should start their own blog.

A blog can provide you with a lifestyle like no other.

Here’s a small list of key reasons why more people should start today:

You have some sort of skill or expertise to share with the world
Your knowledge can answer people’s questions and help them grow
You can monetize your blog with ads and get paid passively every month
Blogging allows you to express your thoughts and opinions
Get paid on the move, while you travel, and while you sleep

How can I place ads on my blog to begin earning leveraged income?

You can place ads on your blog through Google AdSense.

It personally took me about a month of blogging to get my blog approved and start displaying ads.

Google AdSense leverage income with ads — Leverage Income Ideas – Monetize Blog – ways to make money online

I do have to say though, Google AdSense rejected my blog about 6 times!

Don’t let this discourage you.

Google AdSense lets you know what you have to work on in order to get approved.

You might not even get rejected as many times as I was!

Like YouTube, who is also powered by Google AdSense, earnings highly depend on the traffic you bring to your content.

leverage income with blog views — how to make money online blogging

To put things into perspective, some of my posts are generating a few bucks while others are generating over $100 per week.

Good thing Franknez.com has posts on how to help you improve your blog and gain traffic; just search ‘blog’ in the search bar.

You can actually see your potential annual revenue on Google AdSense home page.

You will need to reach $100 in ad revenue to qualify for your payout.

Once you do reach your minimum, you will be paid the following month.

So if you earn $400 in one month, those earning will be direct deposited one month after.

Can I choose how many ads are displayed?

Yup!

Google AdSense has a control where you can manage whether a few ads are displayed on your blog or whether you want a lot to show.

I personally have a balanced display so that my readers can still enjoy my content.

#4. Leverage Artistic Skills

Ever wonder why Kanye West makes more money than the president of the United States?

Or maybe why athletes make significantly more money than a doctor?

That’s because the president of the United States and doctors all earn linear income.

Presidents and doctors trade their time for money while artists and athletes earn leveraged income through royalties from their craft.

Earn Leveraged Income With Music and Art — Leverage Income Ideas – easy ways to make money – how to make money online

Songs are a massive way artists and musicians can use leverage.

They do this through the number of followers and fans they’ve accumulated.

One song can earn an artist hundreds if not thousands of dollars from just streams. Independent artists can do this too.

Can independent artists make money from streams as well?

Yes.

All independent artists need is to upload their music through a music distributer.

A music distributor will then take care of putting your content out on Spotify, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Tidal, and other major platforms.

How can I get my music on all major platforms?

Independent artists can use DistroKid.

DistroKid is the easiest way for artists and musicians to get streamed on the biggest music platforms and getting your music on Spotify and Apple Music.

Once your music is distributed throughout Spotify and Apple Music, you will start getting paid as soon as people begin listening to your music.

If you’ve been uploading you tunes to SoundCloud, Reverbnation, or YouTube, this is the next step.

You’re already getting plays on those platforms – now start getting paid for them though DistroKid.

How much does it cost to distribute my music?

Distributing your music with DistroKid only costs $19.99/year.

This subscription fee allows you to upload unlimited singles and albums throughout the year.

Other competitors charge you per song or album.

Luckily, our readers save 7% when they sign up using our affiliate link here.

Music is the perfect leverage income tool

Because music can be played over and over, this makes it the perfect leverage income tool.

If you find yourself getting playlisted in large curated playlists, you can earn hundred to thousands of dollars with just one track!

Now imagine you put out a demo or an entire album.. yup. That’s the power of leverage income.

#5. Automate a Product / Service

You can create a product or service that people can continuously download and buy and earn leveraged income that way.

Here’s a perfect example:

Andrei Jikh, a personal finance youtuber, created a spreadsheet that tracks the performance and changes of your stocks in the market.

He created this product once and is now available for anyone to buy and download on his Patreon.

This is just one of many great ways to earn leveraged income through the use of a product or service.

You can also create and sell exclusive courses on your website or blog.

Entrepreneurs are selling courses on marketing, social media, content creating, sales, and wealth building.

earn leveraged income with fiverr — Leverage Income Ideas – how to make money online

Ever heard of Fiverr?

Fiverr lets you teach all sort of things online.

People are using Fiverr to teach others how to speak a different language, providing DIY videos, teaching people about animation, and so much more!

You can essentially create one time videos or episodes and sell them to people seeking help or answers to their questions.

You can sell these multiple times just from creating them once!

Is Fiverr free to use?

You can create your Fiverr account for free and begin using other peoples services or start selling yours!

The way you can use Fiverr to leverage income is by creating a video or template that others can guide themselves from.

You can literally sell the same marketing templates to multiple businesses looking for what you have to offer.

What’s Stopping You from Earning Leveraged Income?

If you’re serious about earning money in your sleep then you’ll need to start to earn leveraged income, which is a form of passive income only better.

For you to accomplish monetizing online you’ll need to treat every platform and venture as a business.

Create your online business sooner than later because it will take time to build an audience and for monetization to really pay off.

The sooner you start this process the sooner your online business will bear fruit.

How To Invest In Bitcoin Cryptocurrency For Beginners

January 13, 2023 / Frank Nez

how to invest in bitcoin - bitcoin - bitcoin etf - how to buy bitcoin - how to invest in crypto, how to buy crypto — How to invest in Bitcoin and other crypto

Bitcoin has revolutionized the way we think about money and how we invest it. Kevin O’ Leary himself thinks Bitcoin will beat the S&P500, which earns on average 7-10% annually by an additional 4%.

I frequently get asked what I think about Bitcoin. In all honesty this could be a great place to park some of your money for the remaining of the decade. And I’ll explain why later but first lets go over how to invest in Bitcoin.

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog where you can digest content on personal finance, side hustle ideas, entrepreneurship, and trending investing topics.

Lets get started!

Is Bitcoin the future?

Let’s face it, anything digital is the future.

The way I look at Bitcoin is that it is gold in digital form.

Why?

Because there’s a limited amount of it and there’s a huge demand for it.

I don’t necessarily view Bitcoin as a means of currency to be used for transacting in the markets.

Bitcoin to me is a means of multiplying your money like any other investment.

The difference with Bitcoin however is that nothing has quite grown like it.

This is what makes this investment, or trade so attractive.

Will Bitcoin go back up?

BTC is showing major signs of a recovery.

Investors should not worry about the selloffs that recently took place.

Hedge funds and other institutions shorting companies at the moment are in hot waters and are in desperate need of capital.

View this market dip as an opportunity to buy at a discount.

The crypto market is undergoing a correction and will reach new levels growth with each passing day.

BTC is recovering quite well.

All the markets are volatile at the moment, long-term investing takes time.

Where can I buy Bitcoin?

Alright community, this is why you’re here.

Before you begin your very first investment in BTC you’ll need to open a brokerage account with a cryptocurrency investment platform.

I personally use Coinbase.

Coinbase allows me to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at ease straight from my laptop or from my phone.

When you purchase Bitcoin with Coinbase, you’ll be able to see the stats and charts wherever you go.

In fact, Coinbase makes it easy to purchase BTC and other crypto.

Before, you would have to transfer money through an ACH transfer which would take days.

Now, you can easily connect your bank account and make purchases instantly.

This convenience makes Coinbase one of the best platforms to use for crypto trading.

Aside from this, the layout is extremely easy to navigate.

Some of the most popular banks you can link to immediately include:

Chase
Wells Fargo
TD Bank
Bank of America
and PNC Bank

Online banking payments are secured and you also have the option to choose from 1,000 other banks if you don’t use the most common ones.

Other popular banks include Ally, Capital One, U.S. Bank, and BMO Harris just to name a few.

This list is huge which means it should be no problem finding your personal bank to start now.

Begin by creating your account first

Creating your account with Coinbase is very self explanatory.

Follow the steps and input all of your information to get started.

This part of the process is as simple as opening a bank account for example.

If you have a brokerage account for stocks, then you’ll find it’s almost an identical process.

Congratulations!

You’ve now created your account to buy Bitcoin.

Purchasing it is just as simple if not easier than creating your account.

All you simply have to do is navigate your cursor to the top of the web page where it details ‘Buy/Sell‘.

Here you’ll be able to input the amount of money you will be investing in for Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency using the drop down menu.

It’s that simple.

Can you buy a fraction of Bitcoin?

Absolutely! You can put $100 or $10,000 into BTC and your purchase will execute in the form of fractions.

Your investment will then go up as the market value for BTC continues to surge.

Unlike most stock market brokerage accounts, you can buy fractions of all type of crypto with Coinbase.

This is extremely convenient for the average retail investor.

When you buy Bitcoin you’re going to see the balance available in the form of decimal fractions.

My very first investment in BTC was $100; this translated to 0.00174 BTC.

Your fraction count will increase as you buy more of that investment.

Is it too late to buy Bitcoin?

Contrary to what most novice investors might believe, it is not too late to buy BTC crypto.

Yes BTC was once a few bucks but just because it’s worth what it is today does not mean it’s too late to invest in it.

Trajectories show BTC is well on its way to new records.

And although there has been a huge market selloff earlier this year, Bitcoin is moving up again.

You can now buy more fractions of a Bitcoin today than you could prior to this liquidation.

And I’m personally taking advantage of it.

How high can Bitcoin go?

Experts and analysts believe BTC will continue to surge well into the 100k range during this decade.

Andrei Jikh even believes BTC could reach $500,000.

Can BTC reach $500,000?

I don’t doubt BTC will continue to surge and reach well beyond 6-figures.

With this dip in the market, now is the perfect time to buy at discount.

Don’t ask me how much you should invest in Bitcoin though.

This will vary from investor to investor.

All I know is that the opportunity to multiply your money with crypto is there.

If you’ve made profit from Doge, I would allocate these gains into BTC in case you’re thinking of investing in this crypto.

Remember, unlike Doge which is inflationary, BTC is deflationary.

Meaning it has no ceiling as to how high it can go.

But that’s not all.

Chamath, who predicted Bitcoin’s current price point since inception, is confident this cryptocurrency will continue surging well above $100k.

Chamath was an early investor of Bitcoin and Facebook.

This venture capitalist predicted Bitcoin would be worth well over $10k when the price was only a few dollars.

Can I buy other cryptocurrencies with Coinbase?

Yes, you can buy a variety of cryptocurrencies with Coinbase.

Other popular cryptocurrencies include:

Ethereum
Tether
Binance Coin
Terra
Cardano
Solana
Dogecoin
Shiba Inu Coin

When investing long-term in crypto, it is best to strategize your success by diversifying in a few cryptocurrencies first.

Does Bitcoin have real-world value?

Yes, Bitcoin makes it possible to transact money online securely using blockchain technology.

Bitcoin was the first level of blockchain technology, Ethereum the second, and Cardano the third.

Here’s a more through explanation on how Bitcoin works.

How does Bitcoin work? How to purchase crypto.

Most investors are buying Bitcoin as an asset though.

The value of Bitcoin is projected to get relatively high.

Your investment today has a high probability of doubling if not quadrupling this decade.

At least that’s what bulls believe.

But see, cryptocurrency doesn’t seem like it’s leaving.

It’s here to stay and many people are getting in on the crypto asset before it truly is too late.

And lastly…

It helps us reach more like-minded individuals looking to improve their lives by learning to invest and how to buy crypto.
