Great video, I've been interested in investing ever since I came across articles of people making up to $150,000 and more in this period, thanks for the video but is it really possible for a retail investor to achieve this in months?

Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time.

my 401k growth has been stagnant since the 2019. I wouldn't mind consulting the advisor who guides you, I really want to grow my retirement fund since I could retire in 3 years.

@@cygnuscraft9544 It’s a great longterm investment. Tesla is tricky to make money short term. But a Ford engineer said Tesla is ahead of every auto manufacturer by 5 years. Is FSD is released and turns out to be successful, it’ll be bank for investors. But please do research and only put in money from your own knowledge and not others. Only put in on what you can possibly expect to lose.

Question. I'm very new to the stock market and I bought a stock at $2.15 a week ago this morning that stock split 1 to 8 and jumped up to $17.00 a share! I got a message saying fractional shares resulting from the split will be paid as cash in 1 to 2 weeks. What does that mean?

So if one share is worth $1,500 and they do a split and now your stock is worth $300. instead of owning one share you now have 5 shares that are at $300 correct? Also if that does happen, you're saying that stock wont go back up to that price. Just to make sure im understanding this correctly

Are fractional shares not 'the norm' nowadays? I'm only young and have only recently started investing in stocks, and I use Freetrade and every investment I have is fractional. I figured it makes much more sense for people to invest this way so I assumed that was probably the popular approach.

nichole mitchell No Nichole, you'll have exactly the same amount of money. If you own one share at 400 now you'll have 4 shares at 100 each. But the more shares you have the more dividend you get so that's good. Plus if shares keep growing and they jump for example from 100 (I mean after the split) to 110 then you can add that benefit to each of you 4 100$ shares. You'd be having a gain of 40$. I think that's how it works anyway! It's a good thing, don't worry 👍👍

No, if the split is 5:1 that means your one share is growing into 5 shares but the overall total value doesn't change.

What if you don't have a share for example I only have $40 in Tesla because it is going crazy right now but I'm not rich so I just put $40 and I gain $3.80 just in a week I wish I had thousands of dollars to put in that stock it grew 10% and just a week you would make a lot of money if you had let's say a million you would make 100, 000 doing nothing I wish I knew somebody I could just borrow a million from and make a quick hundred thousand to give the million back
