[@floxydorathy6611]

Dividends are what got me into investing in the stock market. The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. Have over $600K in my portfolio as I bought a lot of dividend stocks before, I'm buying more now, and I will buy more when it drops further

[@emilybrown2719]

I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 150K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities

[@jenniferkyle6036]

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.

@@dustinschumm6158 The best thing that has tripled my net worth trading ETF was my F.A Mary Freed Lorenz, You should probably try algorithmic trading; copy the gurus, more so one with experience of the past bear markets. Copy trading is 100% secured and very transparent to work with her. You don't give out fund here that's the ideal for this system. you have control over your funds. It stays right in your account. Your account will only mirror her trades in real time. You can glance her up on the internet if you need help with this insane market

Dollar cost averaging. So I just started investing and opened an IRA account with Vanguard. I transferred all $6000 to Vanguard. Still waiting on the approval so i haven’t bought any stock yet. However, am I making a mistake by putting all $6000 to my brokerage account at once? Or it only matters when I start buying? Did you mean to spend only 500$ each month to buy stocks (for IRA in this case) instead of buying with the whole $6000? Sorry about the dump question I’m very new to investing. Thank you for your content, this is extremely helpful!

The sum value is the total value of the money that I'm currently investing in these 17 bots. Right now it's over $102,000.
