Amazing tips. I just started investing in April. Took advantage of the market crash to invest in different companies. All your points are right on. I've learned so much in this short period of time. I've seen a couple of your videos and I like your take on investing and helping other new and experienced investors any way you can. Just subscribed! Good job 😄

hey man. i just turned 18 and i decided i would take better care of my money and see long term! i found one of your video and the way you explain it is extremely nice and...appeasing ? i love it. youre better than those extreme and loud investing advisors on every goddamn youtube ad. Thansk for that.

[@missyb96]

Awesome job Brandon! You have a great voice and presentation.When you spoke about you experience about selling your RRSP, don’t forget to mention that you’re also taxed on your withdrawal. Keep up the great work!!! I look forward to watching your other videos.

[@StockInvestmentAnalysis]

I like your point about not needing to wait to break even. A lot of people do that, but sometimes you have to cut your losses. By taking the loss, you can put that money into something more likely to grow so you come out ahead. Thanks for this great video.

[@SimonSkittleFace]

True

Always consider the opportunity cost.

Great points for the beginner.Thx

[@akilalightpro]

excellent advice bro Thank you!

[@stephanie9640]

I LOVE when you say stock market crashes are once in a decade opportunities ! I started investing at the peak in august 2019 and it started going down and I wanted so bad to sell but I didn’t end up doing but I also did not buy more .. And then it went back up and I realised I had missed an opportunity. So glad I realised that a year ago ! When it started going down in february this year, I started investing a lot .. So glad I learned that life lesson a year ago and was able to do some dollar cost averaging during the current situation :) great video BTW 😊

Thank you so much sharing your knowledge. I really like the example of soup. A friend told me that it was good to make a notes of all the positive things that you see in the stocks you buy and that when you feel like selling. Read your notes and remember all the benefits that you studied and therefore bought those stocks.

[@jamesgroomes1812]

this book intelligent investor is a hefty book but actually so plainly laid out across so many pages, it becomes very clear, soon after reading, just how useful it was to have gone over the material within. That said I appreciate a lot of the bullet points in this, I am currently looking at recovering gains, am not really technically down contributions only down profit. I won on international trucks and AMD last year. +33% overall. Considering cutting losses. One thingI personally do is leave the profit in a stock, the equivalent gains stay within and i move my contribution into a new area. Worked last year and I mean this year just keeping money still, and dollar cost averaging.

[@dillianvramov]

Awesome video, Brandon! Greetings from Montreal, new subscriber but long time viewer of your content! On the topic of #4 "Never trusting Media headlines", it is absolutely true. Remember, everyone in the financial world has some interest and agenda. If someone tells you a certain stock will skyrocket, they're trying to make you buy stock, which will increase its price on the stock market. The opposite, a statement that 'judgement day' is coming and a stock or a sector will come down crashing targets easily spooked shareholders that will panic and sell their positions, which will drive the price down and make the hedge fund that shorted that stock millions. I am sticking to ETFs. I am a financial pussy, afraid to take much of a risk, and I like the passive approach.

Hello Lv Beauty, there's never been a better time to ínvest than now but given the current volatility the màrket, It would be advisable to get yourself and experienced and verified ínvestment adviser. An expert who has a vast knowledge of the market and can help you diversify your portfolío in order to mànage risks effectively. I'm currently working with one, his name is Brandon D. Lewis and he's been mànaging my portfolío for a couple of years and the value has grown tremendously. Started out with 7k and my portfolío is now worth over 186k. I strongly recommend you get in touch with him at *brandon4trades (at) g m a i I. c o m* Do it and thank me later.
