My feeling is still that this is largely not the best way to spend our time. It's exciting, sure, and it could help down the line, but if you have the wherewithal to figure out stocks I think the energy would be better spent liberating food from grocery stores—many of them simply throw away their food that's close to expiring and will let people take it if you talk to the right person. My local FNB has the schedule figured out where they can get anywhere from $50 to $1000 worth of food every week this way. It's extremely variable, and from what I know is not easy to get the process started, but the benefits are much larger than spending time following stocks. It's just not as exciting or glamorous.
I'm in no position to tell people what to do or what not to do, and if there are plans for mutual aid with the profits, anything is better than nothing. From my point of view though it's just participation in a zero sum system where a working class person is always hurt at the end of the day.
