Chump Change with Reverse Splits - Stock Trading [Low Effort]
[Currently Testing] I'm thinking maybe $20 / month with this SSH?
How it works:
The person providing this service, Reverse Split Arbitrage (I’m going to call them RA for short), is a definite homie. I don’t want to steal their thunder so here’s the description for how it works and the twitter handle.
Requirements:
A brokerage account with $0 trades. Known ones that work are: Robinhood, Schwab, Webull, and/or Public brokerage account. There may be more, see RA’s substack for more details. Here’s my referral link for Robinhood, here’s RA’s referral link for Webull / my referral for Webull, and here’s RA’s referral link for Public / my referral for Public. You get a free stock if you use referral links for any of these. Non-referral links: Robinhood, Webull, and Public.
Okay with providing personal info like social security to brokerages in order to open an account.
Bank account.
Nice to have:
Subscribe to RA’s substack or follow RA on twitter (links in the first sentence).
Multiple Brokerage accounts, you can do it once per account.
Steps:
Download app and create a brokerage account, get ready to send some personal info.
When RA posts a stock, buy just 1 share before the close of trading that day.
Check your account the following days, it may take a few days. Your share will disappear, that’s okay! The company is doing some sort of finance magic or something and will give it back, usually in 1 to 2 days.
Once you get your share back sell it.
Profit.
Story so far:
12/10/2020: RA confirmed the trade also works on Public.
12/9/2020: RA confirmed the trade also works on Webull but NOT TD Ameritrade.
12/8/2020: I made $4.25 on 12/4, that was when I first learned about this. I purchased a share of VIVE for 51 cents on 12/1. Share went away next day and Robinhood had a message for me saying I’d get my share(s) back in 1-2 days. On 12/4 I got a full share and sold at $4.76. I got another notification in my twitter today so decided hey why not check this out again and bought 1 share of AYTU at 87 cents. I have no idea how often these opportunities are there, I figured I’d make updates each month and track this for a year, trying my best to do every trade when I can. I’m not trying to optimize when I trade or anything because frankly I don’t know how and it’s not my job to. I’ll post updates so folks know what to expect from this SSH.
Thanks for the writeup! In addition to RH, Public, and Webull, it also works on Schwab and Ally (although Ally charges a small fee of about $1 to buy but not sell). Testing more brokers each week.
