You are asking about becoming a trader.
You are several years away from becoming a trader, before you can legitimately choose a market, before you can call yourself a trader or find out that this was the worst decision you've made this decade.
From one mentor:
Most traders we speak with have learning curves that have cost them between $15,000 and $70,000 and up to two years in time.
If you focus on profits like most beginners, you will lose like most beginners. Fully 85% of new traders fail. That should tell you something. Bad decision to even start or play against those odds.

Best to learn investing first. After you've learned something and discovered your time frame and risk level and developed a trading plan and tested it in up and down markets and become consistent, then you might want to expand into trading.
What you're talking about is NOT "flipping money" it's called trading.
You can "trade" all stocks that are available to the general public - some where in the neighborhood of 35,000 of them
Stock do not control or allow what you can do with them, it's the markets, the federal government and other regulators that control what can be done
Since you have no idea of what you're talking about, and know nothing about trading - you are not ready to trade anything - you have along way to go before you should by anything
That's called day trading and in order to make "a bunch of money", you need to be investing a bunch of money to simply absorb trading fees. Even with a small starting amount of $25,000....you can't realistically expect to make more than $3,000-$5,000....in a good year.
This only works with serious money already being invested.,, I mean 100k + otherwise it's in essence useless, your simply having your money tore down by people taking commission and what not. But if you happen to have 200k left somewhere (you if you happen to have a 'bunch of money' there somewhere) go find yourself a good brokerage and pray to god you don't lose everything because you have no clue what your doing...
If it were that easy, don't you think everyone would be doing it?
IPOs?
i mean like not long term i mean like rght now. if i buy it it goes up and i sell it and make a bunch of money
