Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

[@shawnray-v3e]

The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off

[@Mlanderos-t9e]

I agree. Based on my personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $385k in a well-diversified portfolio that has seen exponential growth. It's not just about having money to invest in stocks; you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have the strength to hold on during market fluctuations

[@louie-rose7]

I believe the safest approach is to diversify investments especially under professional; guide. You can mitigate the effects of a market meltdown by diversifying their investments across different asset classes such as stocks, etfs etc It is important to seek the advice of an expert.

Review your portfolio with a professional and don't make the same mistakes again. Diversify, as in your stock portfolio, and hopefully consult a professional. The key to building wealth is long term. I learned 30 years ago that you have to keep emotions (rookie) out of your investment decisions at all cost. Now, i've made over 800k in profits from my 350k investment.

In today’s volatile market, diversify your assets with safe investments like HYSA, REITs, index funds, growth ETFs, and bonds. However, Before making any investment decisions, consider consulting with a financial advisor to tailor a plan to your specific needs and risk tolerance.

📚 investing tip: always test the water before diving in, it’s never to late to start investing. I’m 54 and only been invested for an over a year, “thankfully,you can learn an old dog new tricks” gray videos Mitch .📚📚

[@sdsparkes]

Great channel, I don’t want the book but my investing tip would be start investing now doesn’t matter how old you are. I’m nearly 60 and started 3 years ago, I started by only investing £10 a month for about the first year and every now and then I’d invest a larger amount. My investment is only 3k but I’ve learnt so much about investing, saving, pensions and spending its definitely worth it. I’m now £300 up and loving the journey so don’t worry about all these people with big investments if you don’t have much spare cash just invest what you can and enjoy the journey you’ll learn loads about personal finance. I should all say I spent a lot of time on the green and red roller coaster I think it takes time to keep in the green but I’m in the green now with 3 years under my belt. It’s a little hobby of mine now and as I say I’ve learned loads.

[@CHUNGHO3]

Invest in S&P 500 ETF in a stocks & shares ISA for as long as possible. Do it as often as you can. Try not to withdraw this money and let compounding do its work. For individual stock, do your research and use a small amount of funds. Great video. Thanks.📚

Thanks for your investing advice. You actually gave me the confidence to invest after years of thinking this was not possible due to my income size. Investing tip: invest based on the money you can afford to lock away and not worry about. Never invest more than you can afford to loose. Make sure portfolio is stacked more in favour towards continually performing companies but have around 10% on companies where you speculate so 90% is more secure than the other 10%. I also sell old items I have on eBay to generate funds to invest in the stock market which means I’m turning old junk from around the house into liquid assets for the future. This can be done by anyone even if invest 5 pound a month, start at the bottom and over the years watch your portfolio grow. 📚

[@hh03945-y]

When choosing what companies to invest in, does anyone in the financial investment game consider the ethics? E.g. maybe Palantir could be a company that could act against your needs, or shell or something, but you invest anyway because you can make good money potentially, and if you don't others will continue to invest in them anyway so why not you? Or are there investment strategies that align with personal values more e.g. that don't finance deforestation of the Amazon rainforest? Does anyone talk about this?

Keep it simple have a few index trackers . Start early and invest hard until you get to £100k , from here you can relax a little . There’s no point chasing a few extra % when you have £20k, monthly deposits is the priority

[@pleaseentername.]

Max out your employer pension contributions . If you are under 40 and want to buy your first house open a lifetime isa and your first £4K per annum savings should be put in there for free 25% bonus. Then use remaining £16k allowance of ISA. Always have a few months savings in emergency outside of the stock market in normal bank savings account.
