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 😊

[@javabk]

Incidentally I was looking into dipping into the stock market few weeks ago, I ended up with two accounts, Wealthsimple for Canadian market, and Questrade for the US, I have RBC US account which I was able to link with no exchange fee! so far, beside the transaction fee, it’s smooth sailing ... thanks for the informative video

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.

[@keir5699]

Speaking of safe guarding against losses any idea why questrade won't let me set a straight stop loss on Canadian stocks, instead it requires that you set a stop loss with limit. which could mean if the stock plummets below the limit before sale the stocks won't sell. However I can do a straight stop loss with american stocks. When attempted with Canadian stocks the order was rejected with this message "stop and trailing stop orders must have a limit attached on Canadian exchanges. Please use a stop limit or trailing stop limit order type and resend order." I have some money in a spec stock that I'd like put a stop loss on without a specified limit in case it crashes. Any thoughts?

Hi Brandon, When do you say stocks on discount? 10% down from 52 week high or 20%? Just quick question. Thanks

[@wuziwu8148]

It depends on what you believe the intrinsic value of the company is. If the company is selling for $20 a share and you believe it's worth $17, then buy below that price. Some people might be comfortable with buying at $16, somebody else might be only trying to 'get rich' and buy for $10. You would need to look at the balance sheet to evaluate the company and its cash flow and debt to determine intrinsic value. Alternatively you can DCA (Dollar cost average), every paycheck put a consistent amount of money into a stock or ETF (say $100). You buy more shares when markets are low, and less when they are high. The advantage of this is you don't need to constantly evaluate a company, and you don't need to stress about market fluctuations. Assuming the underlying asset is stable, you will succeed in the long term. I suggest using ETFs over stocks (owning 1000 stocks instead of 1), unless you are comfortable putting all your eggs (cash) into one asset.
