Jeff Bezos once said something like Amazon only had a 30% chance of being successful. And it wasn't for years.

I got out of the real estate investing market about a year ago. I think its time to get into the stock market for a while. whats the best strategy to invest around 200K in this current market crash
The market may be going down, but I am going up! we’ve been in a recession for 2 years. they manipulate the DEFINITION. You should consult with an expert so you don’t get burnt in this market.
Accurate asset allocation is crucial, I used hedging strategies to allocate part of my portfOlio to defensive assets for market downturns. Expert guidance is vital for achieving this. This approach has helped me stay finan-cially secure for over five years, yielding nearly $1 million in returns on invest-ments.
Consulting with finance pros, such as *Marissa Lynn Babula* can be a savvy way to revamp your portfolio. They offer the know-how to guide your choices.
I have stuck with the popularly ‘’Marissa Lynn Babula” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
because its their platform, duh....RH makes money off of selling their users positions to large funds that use that info to front run your a$$ before you can react and they know that noobs only know how to BUY stonks and not short it
He knows what he's doing. He explains stuff with analogies wich is true understanding to know how what he does works and how another similar thing works and see how they are related.
The challenges in stock trading are two: 1. The market does NOT have perfect information. Even tightly regulated markets have stocks where insiders have information you don’t know. 2. Share reflect a bet by investors on future earnings which is always hard because it relies on internal and external factors that may or may not happen. For example the war in Ukraine was unexpected.
It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 14.3%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an advisor.
Well, I chose Becky Lou Gordon as my advisor after her interview on CNBC In 2020. She is SEC regulated with offices in the US and quite frankly a genius with portfolio diversification. You should look her up
I have an issue with his explanation of IPO. The companies do benefit after the IPO period because companies don't often sell more than half of their stock so that they avoid the risk of a hostile take over. Therefore, the stock the company holds can be leveraged at the higher prices and with legal tricks it can be sold to bring in more money... there are also stock buybacks... I guess Wired didn't want the whole vid to be about IPO.
genuine question tho, what value do traders add to the world or the market? Cause it's like playing professional poker, but not sending out the game for entertainment. Like the trades build our society, the arts entertain our society, rulers manage society. Where do traders come in?
Traders help keep markets trading roughly where they should be. They help price in news and earnings and macroeconomic events. It helps society when our markets function well. For example, during the Covid crash, companies were generally still able to access the debt and equity markets for liquidity. It also helps when markets are efficient so that the average person can invest in the US economy and appropriately track the growth of these companies. The liquidity we provide during panics also helps ensure that if you need to sell stock during a crisis like in 2008 or 2020, the price you get is better than if there were otherwise no traders to mitigate some of the panic. That clarify at all?
@@TheOneLanceB If they had all that debt and equity, why did they decide to increase the prices of their goods and services so drastically? And now that they've gotten away with that, what's making them feel they can just keep doing it. I suppose that's off topic about specifically what traders add to society and more asking about the ones they serve.
Studied finance in college however he pointed out the reason why I left the field, its built off of gambling terms and the connotations that comes with it. Went to school to study business strategies, not bet on market movements 😮💨
A really important video for me. I had some experience that helped me lead to have prior knowledge of some of the answers, but this guy and wired really nailed it down with greater clarity and scope.
I know at some point a bull market ends and a bear begins, it goes on and on... I have a 7 figure ballpark goal and I intend spreading across maybe 50k - 150k on plummeting stocks, my question is how can I know when a market bottom has been reached?
many investors make common mistakes like not researching enough, and not having a clear plan. in my opinion, some financial situations can be handled on your own, while others are best navigated in consultation with an advisor.
I agree, partnering with the right financial planner is invaluable. My portfolio is well-matched for every market season and recently saw a 140% rise since early last year. My CFP and I are working towards a 7-figure goal, though it might take another year.
I truly appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that lead to significant progress, hence my search for a reputable advisor. Could you share the contact information of the person guiding you?
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
7:25 - The way he emphasizes NOT following stock trends - as a day trader - makes me think he may have gotten shorted in the GameStop deal. The only people who seemed mad about that whole thing were the "pros" that got blindsided.
He was talking about the big following crash afterwards and how a lot of amateur traders lost money by chasing FOMO - He said you can trade these but if you know what you're doing
I am not an active trader, but I did follow roaring kitty. He didn’t believe in Gamestop, he believed in the short squeeze, when short volume outstrips long shares by multiples and you can squeeze short players into a call thus creating more upward momentum in a stock. This was an entirely technical play and not based upon fundamentals. The fundamentals case would suggest that no one should be long Gamestop.
Fantastic video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own...I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated…... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing
Woah for real? I'm so excited. Mrs Anna davis strategy has normalised winning trades for me also. and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started.
I'm surprised no one asked about trading against algorithms. There is literally no way to be the fastest (as he said, seconds count) when you're up against a literal algorithm. The computer's reaction time will always be faster than a person's.
i think generally people day trading is more about news/sentiment over a wide range of stocks (like all of them) with some technical analysis as reassurance. whereas algorithmic is more about purely technical metrics on specific stocks that the algo is tuned for with trades trying to making 0.1% per trade (with thousands of these trades happening during a day). while day traders are trying to ride trends looking for >1% during any given day and may just make a handful of trades on the hot stocks for the day. all to say they are different styles so there's still room for a day trader to make profits
You don't need to be faster than a computer. If you trade patterns, you can place an order at your chosen price and wait for it to execute automatically. It's not about who clicks the buy button faster, it's about reading patterns.
@@melanova5if you talk about stereotypical technical analysis, in general no, because it’s too wishy washy and not formal. In the other hand, all big trading companies like Citadel Securities and Susquehanna uses ML for predictions of for example the fair price
Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have a great deal of skill and knowledge to pull such trades off.
Why is over 20% drop in stock market considered terrible? If I lose 20% of my regular money right now it's gonna be hard but it doesn't sound like instant bankruptcy either. How does over 20% drop in stock reflect to the common people's economy?
Start early with diversified investments in stocks, bonds, and real estate. Maximize contributions to tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs. Regularly review and adjust your strategy to ensure security.......
People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian C Nelson.
"Does the stock market feel like a casino to you?" Proceeds to give an example about stock buying being like poker. And how, you can FEEL like you're beating the house with all kinds of information. The answer should be just "Yes."
A simple "yes" beats the point of having an experienced trader answer those questions. Lance made it easier for everyone including active traders to understand the answer better using perfect analogies.
Sounds like a positive outlook on things then. So do you think it's best for us who are not conservative investors to focus on bonds or dividend stocks? I want to reallocate my 7-figure portfolio and I preferably want the assets with the best ROI.
I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert.
Agreed, opting for financial advise is now the best way to go about the market. I average 4 figures/month in dividends, my overall ROI just hit $500k in 3 yrs. I only have 30 stocks (20%) of my portfolio, more of my investments are in digital assets.
Finding financial advisors like Annette Christine Conte, who can assist you on things like investing, insurance, making sure retirement is well funded, going over tax benefits, ways to have a volatility buffer for investment risk would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
The market as a whole tends to continue to go up over time, but not individual stocks. As an example, I've held a few shares in a couple major companies (I'm talking really few, like less than 10, just for the laugh of being able to say "I own part of that") that are still negative even 5 years after buying them. For example American Airlines (-57%), and Intel (-59%) continues to drop like a rock. American Airlines in particular has never been positive in that entire 5 year period. Yeah, COVID was a big hit, but even though airline travel has not only recovered, but increased past pre-pandemic levels the stock is still less than half what it was.
With around $250k to invest, what's your advice on entering the market? I'm considering replicating the strategies of experts instead of investing independently to avoid both financial losses and emotional stress. What are your thoughts on this approach?
Consider diversifying your portfolio with a mix of stocks and stable assets. Seeking professional advice now could provide valuable insights and strategies to navigate market uncertainties and protect your investments.
After taking charge of my portfolio in early 2017, i stumbled into losses. Upon realizing that a change was necessary, I consulted a fiduciary advisor in 2020 and since then my 1.2m portfolio has gained 28% annually through restructuring and diversification using dividend equities, ETFs, mutual funds, and REITs.
I still don't really understand the IPO bit. are you saying that after the IPO then the stock price doesn't really mean anything whatsoever to the people who initially created the company? or have i totally misinterpreted what you meant there????
I just disagree where he says it's like gambling on slots. In stocks if you stay safe the player almost always wins. The market will go up eventually, it may rise and fall sporadically, but in the long term it rises. Gambling is the opposite, you can rise and fall sporadically but will always lose long term. If you're not a full time, informed, day trader - buy and look away. Even with successful stocks a novice will inevitably buy highs and sell lows. The stock market as a whole will continue to go up. You just can't watch it intermittently and sell every time it dips.
If you go to the casino with $100 and allocate $60 to table games & $40 to slots, you're more likely to lose the longer you're there. If you open a brokerage account with $100 and allocate $60 to stocks & $40 to bonds, you're more likely to win the longer you're there. They aren't the same
"The stock market will go up" because of monetary inflation. If your account makes 4% per year, that's what the FED targets for inflation so it more or less cancels all your gains. You aren't actually doing as well as you think. I make better gains at the local farmer's market😂
You got to understand that not all stocks go up and not all bonds get paid back. Although the likelihood of a stock going to zero is a long process, it can happen. Its especially at higher risk for penny stock
Ben Franklin was one of the greatest thinkers in American history. And he knew something about wise investments. So it's no surprise that Franklin said that an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. Education matters - and it pays off!
I'm so clueless about the stock market and after this video, I still feel like I don't know anything. This video could have been in latin and I'd take away just as much.
I would say that investing is not like gambling, in a taxable account at least. If you go to the casino with say $1,000 and lose, you are out $1,000. Now if you invest $1,000 in a stock and it goes to $0 you can write off that loss. So you never lose it all, in a taxable account. Also, unless you buy super risky stocks all the time, you are likely to come out ahead no matter your experience. If the stock market had a payout comparable to best casino payout, nearly every 401 (k) would be worthless at retirement.
I've never lost a bet. The only bets I ever make are to listen for someone to announce something really stupid and short their stock. I don't make many bets.

Lance the goat. Finally a real pro in mainstream media
He knows what he's doing. He explains stuff with analogies wich is true understanding to know how what he does works and how another similar thing works and see how they are related.
Oh dear. The title of this video should have definitely included the word “DAY” trader. Yiiiiikes.
Are there other kinds? He's not an investor.
@@DollyRanch There are different time frames and horizons for trading: day, swing and position, just to name some.
He definitely covered a lot of broader concepts including longer term investing
it clearly says Pro Trader !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has GME on screen, lol. Love it.
One of us! One of us! Also proud to see another Lance here in the comments.
The challenges in stock trading are two: 1. The market does NOT have perfect information. Even tightly regulated markets have stocks where insiders have information you don’t know. 2. Share reflect a bet by investors on future earnings which is always hard because it relies on internal and external factors that may or may not happen. For example the war in Ukraine was unexpected.
It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 14.3%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an advisor.
I've been getting suggestions to use one, but where and how to find one has been challenging, Can i reach out to the one you use?
Well, I chose Becky Lou Gordon as my advisor after her interview on CNBC In 2020. She is SEC regulated with offices in the US and quite frankly a genius with portfolio diversification. You should look her up
I have an issue with his explanation of IPO. The companies do benefit after the IPO period because companies don't often sell more than half of their stock so that they avoid the risk of a hostile take over. Therefore, the stock the company holds can be leveraged at the higher prices and with legal tricks it can be sold to bring in more money... there are also stock buybacks... I guess Wired didn't want the whole vid to be about IPO.
genuine question tho, what value do traders add to the world or the market? Cause it's like playing professional poker, but not sending out the game for entertainment. Like the trades build our society, the arts entertain our society, rulers manage society. Where do traders come in?
You could maybe argue they add liquidity to the market, but I don't think they have enough capital to make a difference. They're mostly extractive.
Traders help keep markets trading roughly where they should be. They help price in news and earnings and macroeconomic events. It helps society when our markets function well. For example, during the Covid crash, companies were generally still able to access the debt and equity markets for liquidity.
It also helps when markets are efficient so that the average person can invest in the US economy and appropriately track the growth of these companies.
The liquidity we provide during panics also helps ensure that if you need to sell stock during a crisis like in 2008 or 2020, the price you get is better than if there were otherwise no traders to mitigate some of the panic.
That clarify at all?
@@TheOneLanceB If they had all that debt and equity, why did they decide to increase the prices of their goods and services so drastically? And now that they've gotten away with that, what's making them feel they can just keep doing it. I suppose that's off topic about specifically what traders add to society and more asking about the ones they serve.
it's a zero sum game. when one trader wins another loses equally. so day trading doesn't generally add value to the world in my opinion.
@@ryangattorna675 the simple but unsatisfactory answer is bc consumers keep paying those inflated prices :(
The stock market isn't gambling, but the options market definitely is.
Studied finance in college however he pointed out the reason why I left the field, its built off of gambling terms and the connotations that comes with it. Went to school to study business strategies, not bet on market movements 😮💨
A really important video for me. I had some experience that helped me lead to have prior knowledge of some of the answers, but this guy and wired really nailed it down with greater clarity and scope.
🙏🙏🙏
"When there is blood in the market and everybody is selling, that is when you want to buy, also you want buy when the trend is pointing up."
Thanks.
Lance is awesome! Always happy to share his knowledge and experience. Legend
I know at some point a bull market ends and a bear begins, it goes on and on... I have a 7 figure ballpark goal and I intend spreading across maybe 50k - 150k on plummeting stocks, my question is how can I know when a market bottom has been reached?
many investors make common mistakes like not researching enough, and not having a clear plan. in my opinion, some financial situations can be handled on your own, while others are best navigated in consultation with an advisor.
I agree, partnering with the right financial planner is invaluable. My portfolio is well-matched for every market season and recently saw a 140% rise since early last year. My CFP and I are working towards a 7-figure goal, though it might take another year.
I truly appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that lead to significant progress, hence my search for a reputable advisor. Could you share the contact information of the person guiding you?
The licensed advisor I use is "Sharon Lynne Hart" Just search her name, and you'll find the necessary details to set up an appointment.
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
The Audemar Piguet he’s wearing must signify he’s doing pretty well on his trades.
I could never choose another career, financial analyst is the best❤❤❤❤❤
Really appreciate your time and sharing your experience Lance! Well done as always!
Thank you 🙏😁
Could not have a better guy representing us traders!!! For non traders this is our Lebron/Tom Brady lol
Thank you 🙏
Finally something useful with knowledge you can actually use
Chill dawg
I doubt I'll use any information on the stock market in real life, but ok.
The statement at 8:45 about index funds pretty much all any non-day traders need to know.
If you ever tried to day trade, you will already know this. He gave very basic informatoin, it's for people who have never touched a VWAP.
THE GOAT LANCE ON WIRED?
Thanks Yanni!
Finally another educational video love it
Very interesting video! You should bring Lance back for more
I love the little wall street bull thingy deco
7:25 - The way he emphasizes NOT following stock trends - as a day trader - makes me think he may have gotten shorted in the GameStop deal. The only people who seemed mad about that whole thing were the "pros" that got blindsided.
He was talking about the big following crash afterwards and how a lot of amateur traders lost money by chasing FOMO - He said you can trade these but if you know what you're doing
I am not an active trader, but I did follow roaring kitty. He didn’t believe in Gamestop, he believed in the short squeeze, when short volume outstrips long shares by multiples and you can squeeze short players into a call thus creating more upward momentum in a stock. This was an entirely technical play and not based upon fundamentals. The fundamentals case would suggest that no one should be long Gamestop.
The answer to the thumbnail question is... perception, that's it, nothing else.

as a daytrader with NO PROGITS in 3.5 years I loved the vid
Fantastic video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own...I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated…... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading, I just don't know what I do wrong..
Woah for real?
I'm so excited.
Mrs Anna davis strategy has normalised winning trades for me also.
and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started.
Is her commercial service in
Europe?
Alright thanks for the recommendation, but how do I reach her?
I started with an initial deposit of $2500, my monthly return is 25k.
I'm surprised no one asked about trading against algorithms. There is literally no way to be the fastest (as he said, seconds count) when you're up against a literal algorithm. The computer's reaction time will always be faster than a person's.
i think generally people day trading is more about news/sentiment over a wide range of stocks (like all of them) with some technical analysis as reassurance.
whereas algorithmic is more about purely technical metrics on specific stocks that the algo is tuned for with trades trying to making 0.1% per trade (with thousands of these trades happening during a day). while day traders are trying to ride trends looking for >1% during any given day and may just make a handful of trades on the hot stocks for the day.
all to say they are different styles so there's still room for a day trader to make profits
You don't need to be faster than a computer. If you trade patterns, you can place an order at your chosen price and wait for it to execute automatically. It's not about who clicks the buy button faster, it's about reading patterns.
Would you be able to use ML to find those patterns the way humans do?
@@melanova5if you talk about stereotypical technical analysis, in general no, because it’s too wishy washy and not formal. In the other hand, all big trading companies like Citadel Securities and Susquehanna uses ML for predictions of for example the fair price
The top is in, fellas
Lance is the real deal guys, awesome choice by Wired.
Thank you, I was lucky to get this opportunity!
wonderful!! that was a fun learn! i hope there is a part 2.
Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have a great deal of skill and knowledge to pull such trades off.
i have trouble with this too. especially exits. always get greedy. haha sorry no advice here.
The GOAT 🐐 Why are you so good looking Lance?
Hahah! Thank you!
LANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS FKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! BEEN FOLLOWING SMB FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The man, the legend, the GOAT!!
Why is over 20% drop in stock market considered terrible? If I lose 20% of my regular money right now it's gonna be hard but it doesn't sound like instant bankruptcy either. How does over 20% drop in stock reflect to the common people's economy?
Start early with diversified investments in stocks, bonds, and real estate. Maximize contributions to tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs. Regularly review and adjust your strategy to ensure security.......
People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian C Nelson.
Thanks for sharing
I didn’t know Mark Zuckerberg was a stock trader
I didn't know you were a comedian
looking sharp lance!
Thank you!
What are penny stocks? Are they only worth a penny?
"Does the stock market feel like a casino to you?"
Proceeds to give an example about stock buying being like poker. And how, you can FEEL like you're beating the house with all kinds of information. The answer should be just "Yes."
A simple "yes" beats the point of having an experienced trader answer those questions. Lance made it easier for everyone including active traders to understand the answer better using perfect analogies.
This tranche ; 2 ; Happiness-lab podcast
Sounds like a positive outlook on things then. So do you think it's best for us who are not conservative investors to focus on bonds or dividend stocks? I want to reallocate my 7-figure portfolio and I preferably want the assets with the best ROI.
Awesome stuff. Thank you Lance!
Welcome, thank you for watching!
Researchers have identified the major ‘factors’ that drive stock prices. Equity price factor analysis.
Thank you Lance
I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert.
Agreed, opting for financial advise is now the best way to go about the market. I average 4 figures/month in dividends, my overall ROI just hit $500k in 3 yrs. I only have 30 stocks (20%) of my portfolio, more of my investments are in digital assets.
I appreciate your advice. How can I get in touch with your Financial Advisor, if you don't mind? I am in severe need of financial aid.
Finding financial advisors like Annette Christine Conte, who can assist you on things like investing, insurance, making sure retirement is well funded, going over tax benefits, ways to have a volatility buffer for investment risk would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
My needs are kind of unique and complex. I'll contact her nonetheless, and I hope I'm able to make something out of it.
I want to start investing but need guidance. Any advice or recommendations for assistance?
What does a day trader contribute to the economy of a country?
The market as a whole tends to continue to go up over time, but not individual stocks. As an example, I've held a few shares in a couple major companies (I'm talking really few, like less than 10, just for the laugh of being able to say "I own part of that") that are still negative even 5 years after buying them. For example American Airlines (-57%), and Intel (-59%) continues to drop like a rock. American Airlines in particular has never been positive in that entire 5 year period. Yeah, COVID was a big hit, but even though airline travel has not only recovered, but increased past pre-pandemic levels the stock is still less than half what it was.
With around $250k to invest, what's your advice on entering the market? I'm considering replicating the strategies of experts instead of investing independently to avoid both financial losses and emotional stress. What are your thoughts on this approach?
Consider diversifying your portfolio with a mix of stocks and stable assets. Seeking professional advice now could provide valuable insights and strategies to navigate market uncertainties and protect your investments.
After taking charge of my portfolio in early 2017, i stumbled into losses. Upon realizing that a change was necessary, I consulted a fiduciary advisor in 2020 and since then my 1.2m portfolio has gained 28% annually through restructuring and diversification using dividend equities, ETFs, mutual funds, and REITs.
Working with professionals who have expertise and experience in the market can provide valuable insights and guidance to navigate volatile times.
Please who’s your advisor?

Technical Analysis is as reliable as tea leaf reading.
Lol the captioner who wrote the captions is using "queued" instead of "cued" - which is the correct word to use in this context.
I still don't really understand the IPO bit.
are you saying that after the IPO then the stock price doesn't really mean anything whatsoever to the people who initially created the company? or have i totally misinterpreted what you meant there????
Nice as always, thanks for sharing.
What a freaking legend 🎉
I just disagree where he says it's like gambling on slots. In stocks if you stay safe the player almost always wins. The market will go up eventually, it may rise and fall sporadically, but in the long term it rises. Gambling is the opposite, you can rise and fall sporadically but will always lose long term. If you're not a full time, informed, day trader - buy and look away. Even with successful stocks a novice will inevitably buy highs and sell lows. The stock market as a whole will continue to go up. You just can't watch it intermittently and sell every time it dips.
If you go to the casino with $100 and allocate $60 to table games & $40 to slots, you're more likely to lose the longer you're there.
If you open a brokerage account with $100 and allocate $60 to stocks & $40 to bonds, you're more likely to win the longer you're there.
They aren't the same
"The stock market will go up" because of monetary inflation. If your account makes 4% per year, that's what the FED targets for inflation so it more or less cancels all your gains. You aren't actually doing as well as you think. I make better gains at the local farmer's market😂
@@Uruz2012 yeah idk what you're investing in that makes 4% a year, my IRA averages 12-18% a year, far outpacing inflation.
You got to understand that not all stocks go up and not all bonds get paid back. Although the likelihood of a stock going to zero is a long process, it can happen. Its especially at higher risk for penny stock
@@Uruz2012the average return on SPY500 is 8% yoy.
Ted Scott caddying for the best golfer on the planet, and then getting his tweet answered on wired. Nice.
Ben Franklin was one of the greatest thinkers in American history. And he knew something about wise investments. So it's no surprise that Franklin said that an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. Education matters - and it pays off!
Great video thanks!!!!!!!
Yep. This is a good way to democratize financial knowledge.
I'm so clueless about the stock market and after this video, I still feel like I don't know anything. This video could have been in latin and I'd take away just as much.
amazing bud.. this is!
Thanks J!
It hurts to watch this as economist
Explain?
Shut up bro u took 1 Econ class
I would say that investing is not like gambling, in a taxable account at least.
If you go to the casino with say $1,000 and lose, you are out $1,000.
Now if you invest $1,000 in a stock and it goes to $0 you can write off that loss. So you never lose it all, in a taxable account.
Also, unless you buy super risky stocks all the time, you are likely to come out ahead no matter your experience. If the stock market had a payout comparable to best casino payout, nearly every 401 (k) would be worthless at retirement.
Stockbroker: "This is a stock exchange, theres no man you can steal"
Bane: "Really? Then why are you people here."
I've never lost a bet. The only bets I ever make are to listen for someone to announce something really stupid and short their stock. I don't make many bets.
Technical Analysis is not used by traders
It is used by a lot of traders. It is nonsense, but a lot of people use that nonsense.

Finally, long after the downfall of Wired they manage to post something worth paying attention to.
stock trading is just gambling what you want is to invest for the long term
For 99% of people, your advice is spot on!
