3:22 Why do People Invest in Stock?

Good analysis, man. I started trading 3 months ago with €2,000 and now I have €52,000 I was talking to my son about this the other day: building wealth isn't just about accumulating money. It's about teaching everyone how to earn it, but also how to keep it. There's no point in supporting a family if they don't understand how to handle and manage it.
Congratulations on this update.

Trading advice for anyone new to stock: try not to focus too much on the 1-minute charts. When I first started trading, I made the mistake of reacting to every small price movement, and it cost me a lot of money. Constantly watching the smallest timeframes can create unnecessary stress and lead to impulsive decisions.

Saw someone crying yesterday after losing his account and thousands last week. This is exactly why I keep saying—stop pretending you know it all. You can't do this alone. Find a mentor who's been there. It's not about buying and selling; it's about consistency and actually understanding the market. You're scared of scams but you're bleeding money trading solo. Use those losses to learn from someone who knows the game. Work with experience, not ego.

It depends if you get out early knowing what the market signals are. The best traders get out early, wait it out when the market is crashing. And get in when the market turns. You don’t want to to sit out in a 40 percent bear market because your stock portfolio could be 80-90 percent down. It also depends on the stocks you own. I’ve made 200% getting out early and pressing on the pedal when the market turns positive.

Trading really took me on an emotional rollercoaster. At times, I felt like I had everything figured out, only to end up questioning why I even started when losses piled up <<I tried learning on my own through YouTube and random tips, but the setbacks always outweighed the wins.

This is great! I love the content. I'm not a big fan of all the graphics because they distract me from what you're saying, so maybe you can eliminate the graphics next time. Besides that, you explained a stock and ownership, including dividends perfectly. I can use this video to help my students understand what a stock is and how it works, so they can get comfortable investing.

hi hello namaste namaskaram

@reshmak4720
@

do you only truly lose money if you sell during a period when the stock is not worth as much as you bought it as ? can you just keep it until it eventually goes back up or do you have to like pay them more or something.. ( unless of course the company goes under) but im just doing some research for this because my job gives me a discount on the stock and its one of those companies that look like its going to start doing really well these next few years and i severely doubt it could ever go so under that i would lose all of my money !

I’ve been struggling to find a real expert to help me trade. too many fake “mentors” out there promising quick profits. Does anyone know a trustworthy trader or portfolio manager who actually delivers results?
