A $50 Experiment in Stock Trading

The Experiment

I'll trade $50 in the US Stock Market until I lose all of it or I make some money

Why Only $50?

Fidelity allows trading fractional shares, so I can hold 10 shares of $5 each. And for a trading experiment the percentage of gain and loss matters, not the actual sum.

My Guidelines

My intention is not to lose money, but I may...
All my trades are real trades placed in my Fidelity account.
I will list all my trades as I make them.
This ISN'T stock trading or stock pick advice, I am a Software Programmer, not a Stock Market Expert. DO NOT copy my trades in order to make a profit in the Stock Market.
