15 Ways to Lose Money in Markets | Ben Carlson

[@edgibbs3229]

Ben gives thoughtful and actionable guidance for investors.

[@abbottmd]

Especially liked the part about how you could know the news in advance and still it wouldn't guarantee any results, that's absolutely true and I've seen that time and time again where the market almost reacts randomly and we're knowing the news in advance actually could have made you do the wrong thing. Humbling

[@KennedyVerbruggen]

Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over. This is for stock holders.

[@MarcyLoccy]

Unfortunately, most people don't get this, the majority is after chasing tops/bottoms where they fail & get out of the game. Therefore, in the current bear market, we should pay more attention to the risk rate of the market. We must control the risk to a minimum and improve earnings. It is best not to blindly enter the market.

[@Tanner-c2m]

You can't really know the full risk rate except you are a professional. Reason I settled for advisory and guide from a stock. Never been the same again with my holdings

[@brantheeskimo]

How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?

[@Tanner-c2m]

Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I’ve been with "Rebecca Nassar Dunne" for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing.

[@Tanner-c2m]

'Rebecca Nassar Dunne’ is the manager I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to set up an appointment.

[@TxRedMan]

Biggest mistake I made was sacrificing long term compounding for short term gains. Biggest hurdle was buying back in at a higher price. If you write down your investment plan with a few rules and you follow it, you’ll probably capture an additional 5-6% annum. If you don’t, you’ll probably sacrifice the same. Start now.

[@mayersb67]

To be kinda blunt, I am giving up on investing in stocks... I put between 2000 to 3000 every month and it's doing nothing but going down down.... Sooooo frustrating and I only invest in boring big companies. What can I realy do?

[@MarieCulnan]

​@@mayersb67 Great Buying opportunities exist today. Pullbacks and correction is key. This is where the money is made! hope i helped?

[@AlbertiniCaputi]

in my opinion, some financial situations can be handled on your own if you research enough, while others are best navigated in consultation with a licensed advisor, especially a situation like yours.

[@MarieCulnan]

You're right, the value of professional aid cannot be overlooked. I used to handle investing myself but faced some losses 2020, thus consulted an effective fund manager. As of today, I'm just very close to gains of $13Million after subsequent tax deductions.

[@gabrielenicolini5988]

I read Ben daily at around lunch time here in Italy and I really like his approach to investing. Thank you for this inspiring interview. Well done!

[@skot523]

Bens insights have ingrained themselves so far in my brain over the years that i sometimes take it for granted. But listening to that first minute really drives home how influential he has been on me

[@AddilynTuffin]

Despite all the fear-mongering, The stock market is on fire! My portfolio is up 48% since the start of the year. Who else is crushing it?

[@NO-TIME170]

I wish I could say the same. I've been trying to make successful stock picks all year, but I'm still in the red.

[@carolynrose1816]

I am... and I just dumped all my winners today except for Meta because I already took my investment out and its free ride. I am 65% dry powder and riding my silver and gold mines to the top. I plan to buy a lot of dividend stocks when time is right.

[@PauleAraiza]

58% YTD. I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire an advisor, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via one.

[@Dollrnri]

@@PauleAraiza Your advisor must be really good. How I can get in touch? My portfolio's decline is a concern, and I could use some guidance.

[@PauleAraiza]

Jennifer Leigh Hickman is the advisor I use and i'm just putting this out here because you asked. You can Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

[@StephanieG.Augustus]

The market, whether in recession or not, will always be positive to shrewd investors. You just have to know your way around the market. The recent Fed cut is a big advantage also that any serious person will take advantage of. No better time to let the economy work for you than now.

[@CharlesT.Foster]

Same thing I keep saying. Choose quality stocks and follow them up keenly. If you're not one for such complexities, then work with an Adviser to grow your portf0lio. You can't go wrong with a seasoned CFA. Things will become bullish in no time and the diligent inveestors will smile to the bank. Don't forget the last quarter of the year is upon us.

[@KarenJ.Mancia]

You're right, I and a few colleagues in NY work with a CFA who prefers we DCA across a number of prospective sectors instead of a lump sum purchase. Following this, my account grew by more than 40% in this 3rd quarter.

[@JamesKjones-n7r]

I actually subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial advisor, how did you go about touching base with your coach?

[@KarenJ.Mancia]

'Stacy Lynn Staples' is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

[@JohnNgomba-k3v]

Wow, her track record looks really good from what I found online. Have been doing this on my own and not much growth. I'll take a chance and see how it goes. Thanks for the info

[@stphkp889]

Lots of really great thoughts and advice. Very measured and level headed. Thank you. Now if you could get rid of the scam comments you’d be perfect!

[@ExcessReturns]

Thank you! We are trying to delete as many of them as possible but they keep coming back. Hopefully KZbin will find a solution for it.

[@JohnTrudell-sy4sx]

I really appreciate the no-nonsense approach you take to the news and the markets A lot has changed and that's about it but the truth is that don't even care much about the bull or bear market anymore because paige Jackson covered me while I'm doing comfortable 60k - 70k every week, thanks to her

[@StefanMeyer-db1xi]

How ....?Am a newbie in crypto investment Please can you guide me through on how you made profit

[@JenWood-on8tj]

❤Same here I'm blessed only God knows how much i praise her £51 O00 every week! I now have a good house and car now afford anything and also support my family,,God has been so faithful to me and my family

[@RussellBryant-pc2df]

Yeah! Our government has no idea how people are suffering these days, I feel for people with disabilities not getting the help they deserve Thank you mrs Paige Jackson, imagine investing $67 00O and received $207 890

[@EricThompson-p5n]

Her technical analysis is excellent and her interpretation and projections of the market are so accurate I sometimes ask myself if she is human haha. The point is that paige jackson is the perfect trader to follow for advise and daily signals

[@NielsenOehri]

Please educate me I've come across this before, how do I get to her please?

[@Username_CC_]

The Great Midwest Hedge in the house!

[@Barbara-k3x9j]

I’ve been making a lot of losses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market…Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?

[@Martensalberto]

I will advice you should stop trading on your own if you keep losing.

[@Martensalberto]

If you can, then get a professional to trade for you I think that way your assets are more secure.

[@Martensalberto]

I’d recommend Viola Patterson , her profit is great even when there’s a dip

[@OliviaMoore-c4s]

Hey i'm shocked you just mentioned and recommended viola patterson , i thought i was the only one familiar with her

[@Martensalberto]

you dont need to be shocked haha because i'm also a huge beneficiary of her

[@peterpayne2219]

I love Ben!😅

[@ExcessReturns]

We do too!

[@luis_g_77]

Great discussion! These simple yet difficult tips for becoming a great investor is always great to share with everyone

[@mikezuraw6420]

I know I have found the right podcast when the guest uses a Scooby Doo reference to explain human behavior. :-)

[@patienceisalpha]

Lots of grand rapid hedge happening here 😅

[@mayersb67]

I have over $200k ready to be invested, however I am having trouble trying to find out what investments would be best during this present economy. Heard index funds and ETFs provide diversified stock market exposure while spreading risk. How true?

[@LadyBeatrice-r1g]

very true, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains at zero-to-minimum risk regardless of economy situation, but such execution is usually carried out by a well experienced advisor

[@MarieCulnan]

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to soar my business, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation from $450k to nearly $15m as of today.

[@AdamHart-c8i]

this is huge! mind revealing info of your advisor here please? in dire need of proper asset allocation

[@MarieCulnan]

She goes by Annette Louise Connors a renowned figure in the financial industry with over two decades of experience. I'd suggest you research her further on the web.

[@AlbertoAlejandro-g1e]

curiously googled Annette Louise Connors and at once spotted her consulting page, she seems highly professional from her resumé

[@jimbojimbo6873]

This perspective is so legit, you could invest in some atrocious active fund and still be better off than if you never invested.

[@Madridstrat]

i just sold a house and i want to invest around $200K now, is it a good time to buy stocks? I just want my money to keep outgrowing the inflation rate!

[@TheDayTheDay312]

i'd rather buy ETF's than invest in individual stocks. if you don't have experience or don't have time to monitor your portfolio, you should consult with a portfolio expert to guide you.

[@JesseMayhill]

if you don't have experience or don't have time to monitor your portfolio, you should consult with a fiduciary to guide you.

[@Frankweily]

financial advlsors are underrated. A friend introduced me to one in 2021, and despite my skepticism, I gave it a try. Thanks to the advlsor, I now earn enough in monthly dividends to quit my job and start a restaurant in New Jersey while still earning five figures in dividends.

[@ThomAlexanderGmaan]

Pls how can i meet this advis0r? i want someone to help me invest an Inheritance, i don't want to lose it to inflation.

[@Frankweily]

I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations since this is an online forum and everyone situation is unique, but I've worked with Melissa Elise Robinson for years and highly recommend her. Look her up to see if she meets your criteria.

[@sirus312]

I am the next me, Buffett shall remember the name

[@mrx2062]

It does not matter what the market does. I do not understand why people always talk about the market. You do not learn anything useful from that.

[@ledoug6014]

You may not be... but i am (cope)

[@raz3032]

Index Funds

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

I have a strategy that doesn’t allow me to lose. The S&P tells you where it’s going, all the time. The Fed means nothing. Fiscal Flows and Bank Credit Flows is everything. You’ve got to be in the game to win it. I don’t know how people get discouraged. Trading is easy stuff. Easiest money I’ve ever not earned in my whole entire life. 🤷‍♂️ Gotta be patient, though. This ain’t no get rich quick cult scheme.

[@digilifepro]

Wow much cool! Show us your wisdom! Pls comment what the S&P direction will be and the closing price for each day this coming week. Or even one day. Any day. Clearly you want to share your knowledge as you come here to comment with the discouraged ya jabroni. Lolz

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

@@digilifepro you lose 😂🤣

[@chrisf1600]

I know Carlson has his fans, but I'm not really one of them. Generally he gives good advice (although it's all stuff we've probably all heard before). But then he'll come out with eyebrow-raising statements that really make me wonder. The stuff about rules-driven strategies being somehow superior to discretionary, for example. Where's the evidence ? Or there's the idea that you can somehow tell good active managers from bad (statistically, don't you need something like 50 years of performance data to even begin making this assessment ?) And for all his grumbling about how short-term our thinking has become, he still co-hosts a weekly hour-long podcast in which he discusses all the latest economic data, FED announcements and surveys etc. Entertaining, maybe, but that stuff has got negligible value for long-term investors. But anyway, the interview passed the time so have a "like" :)

[@Klaus__567]

Hit $135k today. I'm really grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in January

[@DarrenEvans-q8z]

How please

[@DarrenEvans-q8z]

I've been investing in Bitcoin by myself. I'm not really happy with what's going on, just few weeks ago I lost about $7,000 in a particular trade. Can you help me out or at least advise me on what to do?

[@Klaus__567]

I will advise you stop trading on your own if you keep losing. And i don't trade on my own anymore, I always required help and assistance

[@Klaus__567]
