Have you considered getting your start by investing in micro cap tech stocks?

The transaction is much easier. You get all the risk of total wipe out you may crave. But most importantly you get a lot more information and that might help you get practice.

The most valuable practice is when you think a company has a great strategy and is a no brainer and it shuts down. Or when you do a lot of work and invest in a rocket ship only to notice that Facebook would have been a better investment.

Do you want him to lose every dollar? Most penny stocks are garbage. Generally low volume, occasional pump-and-dump scams, fake news from paid stock promoters, etc.
So you’re saying it great practice! Do a study on the survival rate of the average AngelList offer.

I didn’t say penny stocks. You can try names you know and like: SMAR, SSTI, PS, etc

You did say micro cap though. The ones you list are really small caps...
You’re right.
Sounds like start up investing to me
