[@scotturner3178]

Top qualities you must have to succeed in investing: 1. An Edge (advantage). Investing is the most competitive endeavor in the world. If you don't have a clearly identifiable edge and learn how to exploit it, you will lose money to other more capable participants. 2. Resilience. Markets are chaotic and an ability to survive and bounce back from adversity is required. 3. Self honesty and an analytical mind. A lot of emotions and information will come at you pretty fast at different times while investing. You need to have the tools to sort things out and come up with accurate answers. 4. You must enjoy the process of investing. Investing is like anything else: If you enjoy the day to day process of investing results will come easier. If you get into investing with only the end in mind your results will suffer.

What is really cool about watching and listening to your information, it feels like a person could talk finance and investing with you while grilling in the backyard in the Summer. That is how engaging and genuine you present the material. Thank you. 👍

[@vik5999]

you are so good in explaining things and your body language is so positive and you seem so honest. keep it up.

[@CinemaTeacher]

Great advice on avoiding the checking of the portfolio constantly if investing long-term. It can feel like social media FOMO. Thanks for sharing, Suzanne! 👏🏼

[@anubis_pd7125]

Want to add one of the mistakes i made when i started investing. I traded way to often because it was exciting. Essentially i ended up losing out on profits or lost a lot on exspenses.

[@bitecast]

Agree 100%...Margin not good. Great content and good points. Risk and Plan are very important. Adapt to market also.

[@PrimordialMSG]

Solid advice here! When I started investing I did very little research of the companies I bought and payed for it...do your homework before you click that buy button!

[@Arvabelle]

It's super important to do your research!

[@DinaTinyworld]

I m learning from you....saw several videos and made the playlist ...thank you...

[@JimAgate]

In a Cash Account: can you buy and sell a stock the SAME day, as long as you have plenty of 'settled' cash sitting in the account, that is more than the amount of that trade. Or will you get a Violation? I understand it takes 2 days for cash to settle. In other words, to avoid Violations, don't buy and sell stocks the same day, in amounts, equal or more than what your total account balance(settled and clear) is..? Thanks for your time.

[@abdelmariami4527]

What I love about you is that you are real and you care. Your mimicking of the constant videos of people with ideas to make money quickly is hilarious. Keep up thee good work

[@SeanLei]

Awesome tips. Most people are terrified of the stock market but a little education goes a long way!

[@Arvabelle]

I agree completely!

[@marymilner6966]

I watch your videos and always come away feeling much more knowledgable to the point that if I want to learn something specific then I look for a video from you. Great content.

[@TheIvyLeagueInvestor]

I agree with #5! I recently went to a talk where the teacher advised us (his students) to just buy a company if you liked the company and if you thought there were going to last for the next 10 years! Yikes!

[@colindziwakmedia]

Definitely that emotions one resonates with me a lot. Easy to catch yourself reacting on instinct when sometimes it’s better to just take some time and think it through

[@Arvabelle]

Yep it's hard not to react! Thanks for watching Colin!

[@briansawyer3232]

Just started watching your videos this morning, I’ve been trading for about 9 months or so, I’m now starting to work with bigger numbers and really doing my homework but still learning and re-learning and your videos are great, I have to see things 2-4 times to understand but yours come a lot easier for me! Awesome videos!

[@Arvabelle]

Glad to hear it!

[@riqgeez1]

Yo brian if you don’t mind me asking I’m new myself what are some things that helped you learn and get comfortable

[@briansawyer3232]

@@riqgeez1 honestly just spending as much time as I can watching KZbin videos with people that have a lot of good information. Researching on Google, starting small and seeing what works and what doesn’t. The idea is to buy the roomer and sell the news, unless you are long holding. I am getting more comfortable with holding stuff a lot longer now, to many times in the past I’d panic sell and then if I would have waited a few weeks or a few months I wound have lost. Robinhood is a great app, it has all the basics, I also use Td Ameritrade but it’s more in depth. Honestly just study as much as you can. A lot of people expect big gains with little money, once you get comfortable really try to hold as many shares as you can, don’t buy high buy stocks that have dropped off and if you are already in a stock and it drops buy more to average down if you believe in the company.

[@riqgeez1]

@@briansawyer3232 appreciate the response def been using robinhood already i dived straight in but i have def been studying as much as i can . Thanks again for the speedy response

[@masterofgarden-teacher]

Start out small learn investing for a year. Don't listen to the expert recommendation. Listen to yourself. Don't buy any stock that is under 5 dollar because that is called penny stock. Penny stock are just pump and dump scheme. You need to be a visionary and also be a realistic person also. Take lost when you make mistake if you find a better buy to cover the lost. Don't trade on loan (margin) because if your stock take a dump you going to get a call to cover that loan. I am no expert but I did start when I was 18 now I'm 40 years old.

[@TheIvyLeagueInvestor]

I could not agree with you anymore!

[@malek88561]

what you saying makes really a lot of sense.

[@to-tt7fc]

Sincere and straight forward unlike many videos out there which I think they mean to confuse people and even scam them . How about Options ? Is it ok to use it to trade or invest ?

[@halilrhoxsan6438]

I think ur absolutely right!!???!

[@Afrocanuk]

Lots of invaluable information! One self advice I regret not following was to pick a stock in a profitable industry like oil & gas, then get to know the stock very well by doing pretend trades by recording everything on monthly calendars. This is assuming the stock cycles annually.

[@thomasquinn8221]

Really great advice, by far the most advisable individual I have come across on KZbin providing understandable information to us beginners. I am about to start constructing my investment portfolio and I will definitely be following you across all social media! Thanks a lot for the tips and advice!

[@Age1ne]

I really like you, thank you for being a great teacher to us and caring

[@elmateo77]

Step 1: open a Vanguard or Fidelity account (preferably a Roth IRA). Step 2: set up automatic monthly contributions for 15% of your income to buy S&P500 index funds. Step 3: come back in 30 years and see that you're a millionaire. enjoy.

[@nasithach8027]

elmateo77 thank you so much!! You’re my savior!

[@jimfryar1]

Seriously?? (I’m a novice trader AT BEST!! BEEN TRADING FOR 7ISH WEEKS)

[@elmateo77]

​@@jimfryar1 90% of mutual funds (which are managed by professional investors) underperform the S&P500 index over a 10 year period, and that's with a full team of researchers checking out the details of each company. Your chances of beating it as an individual investor are extremely low. So yes, your best bet is to buy index funds and hold them as long as possible.

[@isettech]

Step 4, evaluate your position annually and when there are market changes. With this springs conditions, move a bunch of investments from 2% dividend growth to 24% dividend growth in a move to diversify. Diversified from tech into infrastructure. Oil pipelines had a great sale on dividend stocks in April resulting in high dividend yields. The price change she mentioned is completely true. Stock I bought at $5.15 per share is $9.45 today in only 6 weeks. FOMO and buying the top of a rising bubble is a bad idea. All are good advice. Reinvesting it true. Intel stock bought WES which bought DHT. Growth when reinvesting is awesome. Avoid zero sum game stocks which is why daytrading is very bad. Gambling against seasoned pros by newbies is where the pros take the money home in a zeros sum game. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-sum_game Day trading is not Dividend stocks. It is zero sum game, same as MLM and other pyramids. Only invest in companies paying profit sharing at good rates. Anything else is the Market Casino. Everyone is selling classes on how to win at slots, blackjack, roulette, and daytrading.

How about a scenario where you keep a stock for few years (5-7 years) and stock may seems to be at it's optimal price but you like the company product pipeline showing organic growth, what ratio(s) to check in that situation? ..Thanks

[@SharonTseung]

Great list! Yea I definitely want to spend more time studying stock investing 😬😬

[@Arvabelle]

It's definitely worth it! And there's so much free information out there that it's a lot easier to learn about than it would have been 10 years ago

[@gustavogranato3365]

@@Arvabelle hi! How are you? I found your channel today! Congratulations!!! You are so direct and explain good points! I am starting studying at the Pandemic and i am confused with a lot of informations. I know that we have a lot of information to learn for free. Can you list some materials to study on the web please? I will see all of your videos, i liked soo much! Thank you! Have a nice day!

[@allthingsnu4673]

Good advice about checking out someone's free content to make sure their investing/trading style aligns with what you want to do before you buy any training courses. There are lots of trading courses being offered now but, if you are completely new, you don't know that there are many different things you can trade and many different ways to trade them. The people offering the courses don't always tell you that they only trade Forex, or stocks, or options, etc. Do some research and find out what you want to trade before you take a course.

[@reggierico]

"Panic Selling"? Yeah, I think there's been a bit of that lately...What about reinvesting dividends on different stocks?

[@aaronpeipert]

4:21, love the voices!

[@Arvabelle]

Lol thanks!

[@b2andre]

If I had seen this video a year ago, I would have made so money. Listening to people, that was my biggest problem, by far.

[@documentary9326]

can i invest long term in stocks rather than bonds or equity

[@JonValtandtheEvilRobots]

0:35 lol, I'm a dude, but I'm still gonna watch.

[@caesardutta9394]

Do you have any video or videos on Technical analysis. However, let me take this opportunity to say a story. As per daily morning report from broker a person brought few shares of an equity with buy above X with a stop loss of Y and target of T. So he adjusted his ttading portal accordingly. He was lucky thaf he could buy shares since the Trigger price clicked. Hiwever, before reaching the target the stock down trended and hit sell stop loss. But later that day, say after one and half hour the stick trended upward and actually reached beyond T. But in this case there was a huge loss for the person. So it is not always trend analysis in intra day trading.

[@No1KCfan6]

I have a burning question. If I want to place an extended-hours OCO trade (1 buy, 2 sells) on TOS, exactly how do I do that? During the trading day, I would make a buy of X amount of shares at market price with a TIF of DAY. I would also put in two sell orders, one limit order and one stop order, both with TIFs of GTC. If I made that trade during extended hours, would the parameters be different?

[@MaritsaDarman]

Loving your videos

[@MikeN5]

Good tips, made plenty of these mistakes and plenty others and will probably make a bunch more going forward.

[@Arvabelle]

Me too! But that's okay as long as I learn from them!

[@BananasananaB]

Robinhood is risky business. They've gone down a few times this year and minimal support. I'd just go with a TDA or really any other brokerage than RH. The rest of your advice seems solid and level headed.

[@jamesark9926]

Thats true....emotions can lead us...to do something ..if you cant. Overcome with it

[@WealthyTiffany]

For sure do your own research! Thanks for helpful info, Suzanne!

[@Arvabelle]

[@economiclifestyleinvesting9884]

Excellent tips, I really had a problem with panic selling in the past and I could have made a lot more money if I just held the stock. But we learn from our mistakes lol great video Suzanne 👍

[@Arvabelle]

It's something everyone struggles with at some point!

[@tipsy09]

I think timing the market can be okay if you’ve never invested before. In the mean time study as much as you can especially if your in the middle of a big bull market. But you have to dive in if the market drops significantly

Hi, I thank you for your video, it is very helpful for me as a beginner trader. Please, Could you tell me how to assign a time limit to your stock? When people say they keep their stock for e. g, 5 yrs, does one has to indicate that when you buy the stock? Tx for your feedback

[@Arvabelle]

Nope, you don't have to indicate when you buy. You can just go back in and sell it whenever you want to.

[@SxetehakhBettehakh]

I have invested in companies that pay no dividends because I believe they are still growing. I wonder if companies who pay no dividend pay at some point when they are established.

[@Arvabelle]

Some do! Just depends on what the company decides to do

Nice to see your videos because I am suggesting that a young woman that I know should open an online brokerage account. I was suggesting that she buy 1 or more shares of SPYD ETF. This will require little research and it pays, currently, $7.33 in annual dividends. Your videos will be a nice resource for her. Today, from your video, I realize she should pay off her debt first. If she has more money to invest I may suggest that she buy some TSLA.

If i hold ACB, i will loose $17. Now i am up $4.89 or 3.09%. I think quality stocks are better than penny stocks. My point is quality stocks hold pretty strong in volatile market.
