    Biggest lesson i learnt in 2022 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.

    The one effective technique I'm confident nobody admits to using, is staying in touch with a Financial -Advisor. Based on firsthand encounter, I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch, I've raised over $700k since 2017. Just bought my 3rd property for rental.

    Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money.

    Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

    The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

    Of course! I think the best advice I got to start was take 100 dollars and play around… keep watching videos, keep leaning and figure out the best strategy for yourself! That was the times when I tried to time markets, invest in things I didn’t fully understand (bitcoin) but because of that I am much better off and understand so much more than I did when I first started! That 100 dollar cap saved me so much money! Until I figured out index, passive investing!

    The investing game can be as complex as one makes it, but for most people who want to invest & go about their life, throwing consistent money in a SP500 index fund is the way to go. If you want the interest earned to be more than the principal invested, then time is your enemy. Start ASAP.

    @@ChrisInvests the simple steps of investing for a beginner is to play the long game with cheap index funds diversified among different asset classes and contribute regularly in an automated fashion(buying the dips instead of pulling out). Avoid dumb mistakes (timing market, cashing out 401k when leaving a job, whole life, carrying credit card debt) and just give it time. The simple steps for personal finance more generally are sometimes referred to as the order of operations, but the steps of emergency fund, payoff high interest debt, employer match on 401k, fund Roth IRA, max retirement accounts, build brokerage bridge account, etc. It seems most people don’t invest properly because they either are running from the fear of complexity or are over-complicating it with bad ideas, like certain insurance products or too much leverage. I know you know this stuff; I just didn’t have a quick reference for the steps I had in mind.

    Widely publicized advice about managing a portfolio well is to: Diversify to eliminate unsystematic risk. Keep expenses low. Pay attention to taxes. Picking stocks: If you think about it, anyone picking stocks for his portfolio is essentially saying that he can do a better job selecting stocks than the managers of actively managed mutual funds. That seems unlikely; and by the way, three-quarters or more of the managers of actively managed mutual funds do not outperform their index, which, if you think about it, is exactly what you are paying them to do. Picking managers: One can pick a mutual fund manager that has outperformed the market. The problem is that managers do not *consistently* outperform the market. The ones that were in the top quartile last year are often in the bottom quartile in a couple of years. Picking the time to buy and sell: Question: What is it that causes stock prices to move in the market? Answer: News about the stock. Question: Can anyone predict news about the stock? Answer: No. You now know everything you need to know about picking stocks, picking actively managed mutual funds, and market timing. If you still feel compelled to pick something, pick another video of Chris’ to watch. The obvious investing solution is broad-based, low-expense index funds. They don’t get coverage in financial [porn] media because you cannot keep an audience by talking about them. (“Happy New Year, Bob! How did actively managed mutual funds do against index funds last year?” “Happy New Year to you too, Mary! Last year, actively managed mutual funds again got shellacked by index funds. Over three-quarters of them underperformed the market, just like every year before.” “Well, there you have it, folks. Tune in next year for an updated report. We’ll fill the rest of our time with cat videos. That’s probably why you’re watching anyway.”) Broad-based, low-expense index funds also satisfy all three of the points above about managing a portfolio well; since they do very little selling of stock, there is much less tax consequence even if the funds are not held in a tax-advantaged account. Warren Buffet agrees with me. Warren Buffett is arguably the greatest stock picker that the United States has ever produced, and he says that people should buy index funds. Who am I to argue with Mr. Buffet? Yes, if you invest using index funds, you’ll make a few basis points a year less than the index, but that’s more than enough to do the job. Hot tips There are over 16,000 portfolio managers in the U.S. If you’ve heard a “hot tip” about a stock, they’ve heard it too, as well as a lot of other information that you don’t know about. All the information that is known about a stock is priced into its current market value. For a “hot tip” to be real, it would have to be corporate news or information that has not yet been made public and which could also have an impact on a company’s share price, also known as “material inside information.” Conduct a Google search on “trade stock using material inside information” and ask yourself whether you want to use that information.
