thanks Nanalyze you are a force for good in the world.

[@JoePivarunas-f8z]

@@Jop_Kop Appreciate the kind words!

[@BrAd_LeY.]

Well I get your point but swing trading is far more better than day trading in terms of large profit taking and less trading plus its closest to investing because you trade based on the direction of the trend. Day trading is all about finding liquidity zone, order blocks, value areas and support n resistance and the market provides random points where it'll reverse. We are different so I prefer swing trading rather than gambling in day trading

[@joepiv]

Timing the market is gambling, it's not investing. We're investors here.

[@BrAd_LeY.]

@@joepiv well that's your opinion on it and I respect that even though I highly disagree

[@Nanalyze]

It's a fact that most retail investors get their asses handed to them when they try to be BSD traders, not an opinion.

[@stefanopicinich6417]

100% with you about the nonsense of trading. However I have to confess that I do use a bit of technical analysis in the context of investing: when I decide to the build a position in a company, I split the size in a few smaller chuncks and give myself some time to buy them, with dollar cost averaging. I use technical analysis to decide when (in that month) I will buy my next chunk, once the other overall conditions already meet my criteria

[@Nanalyze]

That's a nice way to supplement a prudent strategy with some elements of excitement. It's not a bad idea. How objective is your technical analysis? Seems like the ideal method would be as rules-based as possible. Giving yourself time is great as you DCA into a position, especially these days, because the overall trend is still moving downwards.

[@stefanopicinich6417]

It is moving downwards and I believe it will continue. However I also have the impression that some growth stocks have alteady been punished a lot: giving that none knows when bottoms are reached, starting building a position on some reasonably valued companies doesn’t seem a bad idea to me. Regarding technical analysis, I keep it really simple: I check main trendlines, supports and stuff like that. I do not believe these make any sense, to be honest, but somehow market seems to follow some schemes, maybe those are just trading algorithms reinforcing expected prophecies….. By the way: you may consider making some videos on Veeva Systems and Shockwave Medical. I am studying their balance sheets, investor decks and the solutions they offer: quite interesting I must say

[@Nanalyze]

Thank you for the added color on your methods. Bear markets are the best time to be adding - slowly over time, because nobody can call the bottom. Not sure if you're a paying subscriber but the best thing to do is to drop names you'd like to see covered on our Discord server. Those seem like interesting companies and would likely be paid research pieces as opposed to free videos. Right now video topics are focused on what can draw the most views/subscribers. We need a much larger audience to justify the time we're spending on this channel. Thank you for the engagement!

[@TheSam1902]

This is exactly what my gut feeling was when looking into "stock market trading". I didn't know how to formalise it, so I searched "swing trading market efficiency" and found your video! It's good to have reassurance that this swing trading mumbo jumbo that everyone spouts is absolute nonsense.

[@Nanalyze]

We're very glad you found this video useful! Start investing, not trading, and you'll be very happy you did down the road.

[@user-uu6bi4tn5o]

Powerful message!! Definitely passing down to next in generational line... wealth generation being the main objective: it's uncanny that I mentioned my Tesla activity earlier in response to your previous content on the very day you release this. Proceeds went into other value and yielding assets. It was simply too hot too fast for me to not trim, especially given my understanding of their curcumstances. The sentiment of your message is already firmly in the psychie here. Siblings are getting it drummed through them as well. Thanks for sharing these teachings.

[@Nanalyze]

Thank you for taking the time to share some thoughts. Each investor needs to find their own path and tolerance for risk which will change based on how much money they have, how old they are, life events, when they need money. etc. When you're young, it's always easy to believe you're the exception to any given rule about how wealth gets created. It's best to get these lessons out of the way as quickly as possible.

[@skylabx2000]

Probably not the video that I wanted, but definitely the video that I needed. 🤓

[@adamhanninen8295]

You’re crushing it Joe! Thanks for covering the essentials now and again 👌🏼

[@adamhanninen8295]

Do you have thoughts on dividends vs 5% yield on bonds these days? It might’ve been worth mentioning trading BTC too

[@Nanalyze]

Joe here. Going to be honest and say I was chasing the SEO here on the term "swing trading," but many other people are also chasing that term, so the video failed to achieve the traffic I hoped for. Nonetheless, the lessons are valuable and worth articulating to the masses.

[@Nanalyze]

The high yields due to high interest rates are great for the spare cash you have laying around, not so great when it comes to the "fixed income" part. We only focus on growing income streams - DGI - because these stand the test of time. As for BTC, we have some (~1 of assets) and don't have much to say about that. Watching the whole SVB drama unfold with a great deal of curiosity. Looks like we correctly identified the MBS risk for Silvergate back in June 2021: www.nanalyze.com/2021/06/silvergate-capital-cryptocurrency-bank/

[@quintonballenden1436]

For those like me who do trade. These are my rules 1) have a small trading account +/-$5,000 and play around recognizing that you're never ever going to generate an income from trading. 2) Do not borrow to trade. 3) Trade in the one month to three month time frame. Excellent video. I worked at trading firm for 4 years. There are a few good traders but generally speaking 99% will lose all their money and then some.

Great video as always. Personally, being from Brazil, i think i'm in paradise when i invest in the USA. I just choose a good company, put 1k USD on them, and I forget about these stocks. Never touch them again, even if everyone is saying the company will go bankrupt. Many of these companies operate here in Brazil as well, such as PG, AMT, MDT, CL, WMT, EQIX, UL, JNJ, LIN, MCD, PFE, PLD, and many others. So investing is easy, specially in America, where you have so many good companies you don't need even to buy the same company again and again, increasing the risk. Regards.

[@stephengalea9447]

Confession.... I was a sucker. I was sold an algorithm software which when "backtested over the last 20 years" outperformed the market with only 1% downside trading 2 etfs.... It was shit. Now i DCA Thanks for the reminder

[@Nanalyze]

Joe here. Trial by fire is the best way to learn. The sooner the better. The amount of times I was a sucker in my life I couldn't count. It was all about chasing the quick way to wealth, whether through multi level marketing schemes, selling door-to-door, or "day trading," I tried it all. Only after some years did I learn that slow and steady wins the race. There are no shortcuts. DCA is the way forward! Thank you for sharing your own experiences.

[@crowdfundcrew]

Sounds like the back testing was not up to par.

[@Bham67]

Joe, I appreciate you taking the time to make these educational videos. You are a great teacher and you explain concepts in a straightforward, no BS, manner that is relatable and understandable. If you feel inclined I’d like to see one that really explains various forms of share dilution. If “authorized shares” can just be added to the “shares outstanding” whenever a company feels like it, how is that OK? I’d understand if market cap was based on total Authorized Shares, but since it is based on Shares Outstanding, and releasing more shares to that pool does not add any additional raised capital…why is it even legal? It seems like stealing…but that is probably because I don’t understand this subject well.

[@Nanalyze]

Joe here. This is a great comment and the topic has been raised numerous times. Even more questions surround stock based compensation. I need to sit down and walk through everything slowly so I can properly understand it well enough to explain it simply. This is on my to-do list. Glad you're enjoying our videos!

[@juleouscamper5256]

Well, it's pretty simple, you are either making money or you are not. Traders can and do make money. If it doesn't make you money, then you will know it, and if you don't, you probably shouldn't be working with numbers.

[@Nanalyze]

Yes, there are stories of man bites dog, but mostly it's the other way around. And regarding your last remark, many the fool has beginner luck and thinks that trading is easy. It isn't. For a vast, and we mean VAST, amount of people it's a way to the poor house until they realize that investing is how you accumulate wealth, not treating the market like a casino.

[@daniuskac1527]

@@Nanalyze I conclude this is a bad idea.

[@daniel_960_]

Trading always seemed quite intriguing, but intuition or brain says it doesn't make sense. Also the big difference is trading is a zero sum game, or probably even worse. While investing is not, economy grows, dividends... Toyed around with Tesla options (the German ones) and yeah it's quite an unreliable way to make money lol. What's intriguing there it can go up so much but only loose 100%. Those 500-1000% wins sure are fun. Generally I think the only time trading can make sense is being opportunistic. Like seeing an opportunity in the market because of some macro move or something happening in a company the market hasn't priced in. But still that's just betting.

[@Nanalyze]

Yep, the market can encourage one to start speculating, and it's tempting to say, "I'll just have some fun with this." It's sometimes difficult to avoid considering puts when looking at some of the absolute trash out there. However, we always stick to our rules of being risk averse. You can easily nickel and dime yourself to death trying to speculate here and there. When you get older, you start to value SWAN more than anything - Sleep Well At Night.
