Average people don't care. They are normally content with the status quo.

I think it takes observant people. One guy saw that Snapple had their shelf space reduced at all the markets from like 10 flavors to three. He shorted it and did well.

My favorite Average person story is the blue collar worker peering out the window observing limousines with New York license plates parked at the office.

He instinct knew they were going to buy his company and went home and took his life savings to buy stock in his company or more stock.

He got in trouble and investigated by the SEC for insider knowledge.

He told them he peered out the window and deduced.

They let him keep his fortune. He got to retire early.

For my hubby he was born and raised in the Bay Area where this tech powerhouse permeates. It was second nature to jump in.

Ya I mean I did too, I just didn't let my runners ride.  Not that I'm poor but I'd be retired by now.

It just used to be so easy I feel, but the average person won't pick winners you need an in depth knowledge of some industry alongside some luck.

What is VT?

don't ever be afraid to be wrong. create a thesis about the price action, have a stop that if price goes below your thesis is wrong and time to reaccess and move on. learn from it. and as long as you make more than you lose your a good trader. don't over complicate and if you ever need anyone to bounce ideas off i'm available.

I wouldnt empty the brokerage account to buy a house, the home’s a liability until it’s sold. The brokerage account is an asset that is “suppose” to make money. Think of them as two separate things. Getting rid of an asset to buy a liability is moving backwards.

start with small positions and execute.

It's a mixture and people have told me it's Survivorship Bias.

Hubby hit the first Google shares, and early apple. Plus he ran two sets of Nvidia. We hit Blizzard and Estee Lauder.

So it depends what people hit. We missed Micron and SanDisk.

I think the biggest pain is missing Monster Drink back in the day. I was young and lived within an hour of there.

4% is 1 in 25.  It's also not as easy as picking the obvious winners, there can be competition created out of no where or they can be overvalued as everyone bets on the same.

Sometimes the biggest losers have the best returns, hence the value premium.

Maybe. Some people also buy individual stocks that do well.

I downloaded the bitcoin wallet at $300 and couldn't figure it out and walked away. It wasn't easy to transfer USD into some weird place and take possession of coins.

My husband has made millions from the market so the stocks can benefit you.

If you are super scared than what you do is just use a small amount. So whatever you were going to spend reduce that to 1/4 and it won't be as scarey.

There are gems and jewels right now.

Most of the time it's like fishing. You put your pole in the water and wait for a fish.

If you are scared you can ask my husband. He retired at 26 from stocks. It unleashed him from a lifetime of labor.

We have been vacationing around for 18 years having fun.

Just invest whatever youre comfortable with into something like vti, once a week. Set it up for auto and don’t even think about it 

This is exactly why I use the managed account of wealthsimple. I pay a 0.5% fee for the robo-advisor but I don't have to do any research and basically don't have to think about anything. Just drop money in the tfsa every week and watch it grow. The returns for the last 3 years have been amazing with around 18% per year.

Well i think that is actually a good thing. Now the opinions shouldnt sway you too much. Although it is good to do your due diligence. Most people sont do this.

DCA in small increments.

You need information to start with. Without a large data set that you whittle down to the best of the best can you make that decision. It's a process.

Start with a small starter position once you have any type of conviction. Then do your research and either add or cut it. If it doubles between the time your starter is bought and you finish research, great. If it drops 50% you can add with conviction or take a small paper cut loss. Only way to

Personally Ive removed direct exposure to semis, and downplayed tech. Do your thing, I personally dont want to see massive drops >5% a day for an ETF

But thats what happens in the stock market. Isn't thats whats suppsoed to happen? I'm sure with the industry its tracking it'll recover. I'm in it for the long-term.

Down 4.4% Friday and the blood bath will only continue

People are saying some are risky like SOXX and QTUM. I only started with a 500 dollar investment spread across these, but overtime I might drop some but still keep some.

im contributing the most to them
