It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.

Right, I've been in constant touch with a fiinancial-analyst since covid . You know these days it's really easy to buy into trending stock`s, but the task is determining when to buy or sell .

[@ChristopherFrank01]

I've been making a lot of looses 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?

[@Jessica_D07]

Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies.

[@alessandro763]

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

Some great stuff here but definitely don’t agree with waiting for 50k subscribers before offering something. Building a 6-figure business with just a few thousand subscribers is much more practical for most. My email list is less than 500 and KZbin less than 3,000 and I’m already there. I could name at least 10 friends with almost no social media following and 10-30k email subscribers who have high 6-figure low maintenance businesses.

To better understand the premise of most of these videos, including, but not limited to people selling courses is quite simple really. They sell you an idea pertaining to how to make money. If you had to think about what attracts people more than anything is money. We are all struggling and trying to survive and trying to become wealthy so that we can live a better life. Many people take advantage of that, and so they put these videos out and galvanize millions of yours, which intern to monetization for them and wishful thinking and empty for us.
