Simple question: Is it currently worth it profit wise to flip Plex's for profit. I bought and sold a few (broker fees are a bit of a pain at that level of investment) and made around 20ish mil per. Does anyone else make solid income from flipping Plex's or am I better off just looking for other investment opportunities?

That's a good amount for daily or weekly, quick flipping. Definitely supplement the plex flipping with other sources. I like to trade about 10 at a time in different hubs. Anymore than that for quick flips and you're risking too large an effect on other traders' habits. Once you've become aware of the weekly waves you will be able to purchase and sell with much less effort. You can certainly earn more in other markets, but plex is more often than not in a stable price wave with little flux from day to day, and week to week pricing making it a very dependable income source, despite its very low % of profit.
