A better analogy here might be more like installing a wet-room with some fancy new piece of hardware technology and re-plumbing your bathroom all by yourself because your bathroom sink broke.

Well that depends. I think he was refering to more complex plumbing improvements. Fixing a sink is one thing. Fixing a blocked pipe, for example, can be different sometimes. A few years ago we had one of the main pipes blocked, we tried clearing it with no success. I said lets get a plumber but my room mate was stubborn and got a contraption to reach into the pipe and try to break up the blockage. Problem was it too got stuck at a 90° turn and now we had 2 problems. The second one being far worse since it was so deep into the pipe, if it didnt get unstuck the only way to get it out would be to break open half the kitchen floor to get to it, which would cost thousands. After that she relented and we called a plumber and he did manage to get it out, although not without a lot of effort. Sometimes its best to leave some things to professionals.

This is something I realized as well, that options are a tool more made to protect people with huge amounts of capital already in place (hence why they buy or sell 100 shares). Let's take an example and let's say you invested in AAPL (Apple) back in 2003 when it was in rock bottom. Since Apple has done stock splits, let's multiply the shown price by 4 and say you got an average price of $1 and held 500 shares. As it went up and you realized that the market was starting to enter the bubble phase of investing, you start to sell some shares (about 10 or 20) periodically and have an average exit price of $24, but you don't want to abandon Apple completely because you believe in the company and/or want to own the company. Options here can help you lower some of the risk, especially if you're writing the options, since theoretically you get the premium and keep you position the same if it expires out of the money. Since the market is in an uptrend but the bubble might burst, you can take a risk and sell a few calls dated a month in advance with a strike price of $30. Since Apple never reached that price by the time it was going to expire, you pocket the entire premium, but if Apple ever were to close at $30 or above, the option is exercised and you exit the position with a win anyways, since you were holding those shares since they were worth $1. As for puts, I find them more useful for when stocks are trading flatly or in an uptrend. After the crash, you buy some shares but keep some cash just in case. Additionally, you can use a put to guarantee a purchase price for yourself that is suitable or pocket the premium if it expires worthless. You can improve your returns especially in momentary downturns and you still get shares to keep infinitely if you end up assigned and purchasing shares. Meanwhile, I realized that while buying and selling calls that were already written and on market do have a lower cost to entry, you oftentimes keep nothing if it expires worthless. You lose the premium and valuable cash. Granted, all of these strategies might not provide the best returns you can have, but like the OP said, they are meant to help you manage risk, especially if you have a lot of money on the market. Some people get lucky, but I'm not sure if it's just better to buy a lottery ticket instead of the farfetched promise of an option going up 1000% because KZbinrs keep saying "the end is coming, buy puts now".

The key reason you avoid a 3.5% car loan isn't the 3.5% interest rate, it's the catastrophic loss of value in purchasing a new car. The 3.5% you paid per year is probably insignificant compared to the amount you will lose when you sell it. Unless you paid for a beater car on finance which is still an odd choice. A mortgage is not usually included by most people as you would be paying rent without it and the house can possibly grow in value over time, unlike a car.

Dividends are a great thing, but they’re only really effective for passive income when you either have somewheres over 20 to 25 thousand shares of a high yielding stock. Meaning you likely need to have a few hundred thousand if not more invested in it. Re-investing dividends back into the same stock certainly does snowball with compound interest, but you only really start seeing it after 20 years of never stopping and likely needing to add additional money of your own with it….so it’ll be time consuming and costly. The way I see it if you have a million dollars at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50 to 70 thousand in dividend income

Like Warren Buffet said, dividends are only good if the business you’re investing into can’t make good use of that capital. So if you’re trying to invest into businesses with actual growth, looking at dividends is a waste of time. Why are you investing into a company if they’re returning capital to you because they think you can make better use if it than they can. There’s only one reason, and it is a place to park your capital to pay you a small return with large established businesses because you aren’t trying to grow your portfolio anymore, but to live off of it. It’s not much different from bond investing.

And if you have credit card debt, car loan, late bills etc it doesn't really make sense to put the cash away in a savings account instead of paying off your debt, does it? The same with investing. Pay off your bad debt, fill your emergency fund (this can be parallelized with small investing contributions but your priority is the emergency fund) and then start investing. Of course it is okay to pay mortgage for your house, especially if it is on low interest rate instead of paying it off fully and then investing. But investing is really something you do after you have financial stability. Investing is not something that will make you rich overnight.

I am wondering if these trading platforms are inundated with complaints /questions from people that have no idea how the market works. Like walking into a room blindfolded with a money cannon.

It happened to me, but, luckily I'd no money beyond 100 bucks, so it did cost me those 100$ for understand the markets, while I've seen other guys with huge amounts of money losing everything and no understanding markets at all. Also, I tried to be more prudent so always I had fear to bet "all in", while those guys just went all in with their huge life savings and losing them in one all in x125 leverage in futures contracts of some altcoin, lol.

Yes, the stock market is currently rather unstable, but if you perform the proper calculations, you should be alright. I believe there are many wealth transfers taking place during this downturn if you know where to look because Bloomberg and other finance media have been documenting stories of people making over $250k in a matter of weeks or couple months.

8:27 The problem with this model is that it is no longer a feasible long-term plan for anyone below the age of about 40 anymore. Most young people can see the writing on the wall and understand that even if they contribute to a 401K, 50 years from now by the time they're supposed to retire that money will most likely be essentially worthless. Therefore, many younger people are willing to take on risk to their "investing" so they can actually try and achieve their monetary goals in life they otherwise think they would not be able to achieve. I'm not saying they're right, I'm just saying I understand why they're doing it.

None of the issues you're describing are new. People have been complaining about all this for decades. Don't get me wrong, the criticisms are valid, but everyone enters the workforce expecting a lifestyle equivalent to their parents'. They assume everything's broken because that isn't possible. Then, as they settle into their career and begin affording things previously out of reach their perspective changes. They also become slaves to consumerism but justify themselves by blaming those who came before. At the end of the day, people want to fix a system right up to the moment they start profiting from it themselves.

13:34 I’m glad you mention this, but I’d take it a step further. What I see in finance social media is kind of a self-fulfilling version of the vanishing middle class. According to these gurus it’s not good enough to save up and build a comfortable life over 30 years. The goal is to get rich quick. Like absurdly rich, casually buying another sports car rich.

A coworker of mine approached me yesterday. She wants to daytrade to earn some more income (on minimal knowledge I might add) and I tried pulling her teeth on how trading options and calls is a really bad way to make money consistently (as said in the video, it‘s for factored risk management, not flat out return). I tried my best, explained to her that on average it‘s a zero sum game at best, showed her the statistics, tried explaining to her what she‘s actually doing versus what she thinks she‘s doing. Nuh uh she‘s adamant that she knows better than me. She‘s got no emergency fund and knows basically nothing about finance. I warned her. Am now counting the months where it all comes crashing down preparing some popcorn.

It is fun.60% invested in Berkshire Hathaway stock. 10% in aggressive growth International funds. 10% in low cost S&P 500 index funds and the other 20% swinging for the fences. Myself, my wife, my kids, and their kids can live off the 80% invested but I want to find the next Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, or Berkshire. Those are already trophies on the mantle and head's on the wall. I was hoping one was going to be Intel ($22.40 avg) and although still walking they're missing a lot of toes.

Buying index funds gives you no true ownership of anything though- it doesn't give any obligation to the broker to locate shares, meaning your money has no effect on true price discovery. Basically, you aren't contributing the the buy side of the market in any way, and with enough people investing the way you do, there's no cause for share value to increase organically

I disagree that if people who can only afford to invest $100 per month they shouldn’t be investing. Has it occurred to you that maybe those people already built an emergency fund and payed down debt? I’m not super rich so I invest between like $100-200 (including IRAs) per month. But I’m also using a savings account and have no debt so it’s just my extra money to play around with

Yea, I learned to avoid the "fun" options in house investing too. When someone's pushing really hard to get you excited about the investment or market and it feels like a pep rally, you need to leave. The purpose of investments is to be successful long-term, not to be exciting in the moment. If someone is selling you on fun, that probably means there's serious problems with their product that they don't want you knowing. Or rather, you're not their target audience if you know to ask such questions. They want easy prey.

Investing is great if you know what to ur doing. If you think making money is fast and easy makes u a idiot. Investing takes knowledge and great discipline.. and if you know what your doing and understand making wealth takes a lot of time. Consistency and repetition is key!! And investing and being self employed has a lot more tax advantages then anything. And is way better then being a mindless slave that only knows how to obey for a check even if it’s bad. That is the problem! There is no problem with people investing and people should encourage more people to invest specially the younger demographics
