This isn't for beginners but my best tip is to trade stocks the insiders (Senators, Company Directors/Executives) trade. They all have to file Form 4's with the Security Exchange and this is public knowledge on websites like openinsider. Hedge funds, Company execs/directors all have 2 days to file whereas Senators have 30 days. Pretty easy to piggy back off the trades they make risk free since they know whats going to get announced/happen making it basically insider trading! For example Nancy Pelosi is on a salary of $223k/year but yet has a net worth of $120M lol
