- How's it going, everyone?
In this video, we're gonna go through
how to find stocks using the cash app investing platform.
Before we get started, if you wanna get yourself
a free $5 from Cash App,
go ahead and use my link down in the description
to open up an account.
Once you open up an account,
when you send $5, you will get $5 from Cash App.
So they'll give it to you for free.
If you want, you're more than welcome to send it to me,
send $5 to me.
I'll send it right back to you.
And that's an easy way for you to get a free $5
without having to necessarily send it to somebody
that's gonna keep it.
Okay, so the first thing you're gonna wanna do
is go ahead and open up your Cash App app.
And once you open it up,
you're gonna see the main screen
where you can pay and request money.
Now, right to the right of that, down to the bottom,
you're gonna see a couple squiggly lines.
Now, if you press on that,
it's gonna take you to the Cash App Invest side of things.
Now to start to find stocks,
there's a couple of different ways to do it,
which we're gonna go over here.
What you're gonna do is you're gonna hit
the magnifying glass at the top right.
And then from there,
here's the couple of ways that you can look for stocks.
The first way you can do it is you can search
for a specific company name or ticker symbol up top.
So we go up here and I'm gonna type in
the company Textron, T-E-X.
And as you go ahead and type it in,
you're gonna see other company's stocks pop up,
but I'm gonna go ahead and finish
typing in their name,
and there they are right there.
So if I wanna buy or sell that company,
I'd go ahead and click on it.
And then it takes me into all the details for Textron.
Now to go back, you hit the arrow button at the top left.
And then if we want to go ahead and clear out
where we started to write Textron up top there,
we go ahead and hit the X right at the top right.
And that kind of clears everything.
So that's the first way to look for stocks
or find a stock on Cash App Investing.
The second way is you can go ahead and filter
for a specific stock
based on specific attributes of that stock.
So right up here, you see Categories.
You click on that and you can choose
the different categories that you wanna look for.
So maybe you wanna look for only stocks in shopping.
So we're gonna go ahead and click Shopping there.
And then we're going to Apply.
And that's only gonna bring up stocks
in the Shopping category.
So we can go ahead and scroll up and down
and see kind of the options
that Cash App Investing is going to give us.
So that's another way.
So we have to reset this filter to get rid of this.
So let me go back.
So we'll go ahead and reset the filters right up here.
Another way is you can look up a stock
based on its performance.
So right there, you see we've got Performance,
so we'll click on that.
And right here,
you can kind of choose the types of stocks
that you want based on specific parameters, right?
So stock performance.
So stocks that are up by 5% or higher, right?
Or we can go 10% or higher, or 20% or higher
or 30, 40, and 50, I think is the highest it goes.
And then you can choose the time period.
So for stocks that are 50% or higher,
we get to choose the time period for,
we can say, one week, we can say 30 days,
we can say 90 days, we can say the past year.
And I believe that's all that you can choose.
So just those four options right there.
So let's go ahead and look for stocks
that are up by 30% or higher in the past 90 days.
And we go and hit Apply,
and it's gonna bring up all of those stocks.
So as you can see, Tesla is at the very top
because they've had a run up on their stock recently.
And this is gonna show you all of those companies.
And then you can decide if you wanna buy any of these.
So you'll click on one and then it'll take you
to all those details,
which I'll talk about how to buy and sell here
in a few minutes, so give me a minute.
So I'm gonna go back here.
Now, we need to clear this filter
for the up 30% in the past 90 days
'cause I'm gonna show you another way
to find stocks on Cash App.
So we're gonna reset the filter again like we did before.
Another way is Advanced right up top there.
So we're gonna press on that.
And this is going to give us a couple more features, right?
So we can find stocks based on dividend yield
or upcoming earnings reports.
So let's just shoot for dividend yields right now.
So companies who paid a dividend within the past 180 days.
So dividends are a small distribution
from a company's earnings to its shareholders.
So basically what that means is, say, you buy Pepsi.
So you buy one share of Pepsi.
Every quarter, so every three months,
three months is one quarter.
Every three months, Pepsi is going to pay you a dividend.
Now, I'm not sure what their dividend is
at this point in time.
It could be maybe 50 cents per share,
it could be 30 cents per share.
I'm not sure,
but that's what a dividend kind of is.
So we'll go ahead and hit Apply.
And this is gonna give you all the companies
that pay out dividends.
So let me see.
I don't know if, I'm sure Pepsi's on here.
I'm not gonna look for it now, but oh, there's Coke.
So there's um,
where'd it go?
Sorry, I lost it.
I don't know, I lost Coke,
but here's McDonald's.
So McDonald's is a dividend paying company.
So this is just gonna give you a list of those.
Dividends is another way
that people earn income from investing in the stock market.
That's one of two ways,
which we're not gonna go over in this video.
So that's another way to buy
or to find stocks on Cash App Investing.
So we're gonna go ahead and reset these filters again.
If you're getting some value from this video so far,
do me a huge favor and hit that thumbs up button,
I would really appreciate it.
Now, another way to find stocks on Cash App Investing
is by going through these categories here.
See, we've got these Banking & Finance,
Business Services, Energy, Tourism,
Sports & Gaming, Shopping.
So you can click on any of these.
So we'll click on Sports & Gaming.
And this is gonna give you a list of all of these ones.
Now Sports & Gaming is gonna be a lot of casinos,
you know, DraftKings, online gambling.
Same thing with Penn National Gaming.
Microsoft, I'm not sure why they're there
in Sports & Gaming.
I'm assuming 'cause they have the Xbox
that's why they'd be under that category.
But you'll notice that there's a lot of gaming companies
here like Zynga.
They make a lot of game apps like for your phone.
Under Armour, that's sports.
So we can go back and then let's go ahead
and pick another one so I can show you
something else that you can do.
So let's go to Shopping.
So let's look for stocks.
And once again, you can actually filter
on the list of these shopping stocks that we've got here.
So you've got subcategories.
So you can choose only stocks
based on these particular categories,
Footwear, Sportswear, Home Improvement,
so like a Home Depot or Lowe's.
And we're not gonna choose any of those.
So I'm gonna click out of this.
Or you can choose based on performance, right?
So just like we went over before,
you can choose a stock that's up,
we'll say 20% or higher in the past 90 days.
We'll apply to that.
This is gonna give you a list of all of these stocks
that are up 20% in the past 90 days
within the Shopping category.
So go ahead and reset this filter right here.
We're gonna stay in shopping,
but you can also go to Advanced as well, right?
So you can look for dividend yield,
yielding companies in the Shopping category.
So go ahead and do that.
Let's see which one.
So Apple, Walmart, Johnson & Johnson, Home Depot, Costco,
which we're all pretty familiar
with a lot of these company names.
So that's how you find stocks on Cash App Investing.
Now, if you wanna know how to buy and sell stocks
on Cash App Investing, then I will have two videos
linked right here and right here
to help you out with that process
so that you can hopefully start
making some money by investing through Cash App Investing.
