Anybody in here invested in stocks?

[Buzzed Lightyear]

I downloaded the Robinhood app today & I need some beginners tips on investing. Can anybody help me out?

 

[Throwbacksample]

That's what I use. Just type in beginner in stocks on Google and how to read balance sheets/income statements and such. Just throw 20 bucks in there and just play around and see what you learn.

I was in the same boat at the beginning of this year. For “safe” returns, around 10% just invest in ETFs.

For more aggressive returns look into major companies or ones that are on the rise. Like Netflix, Match.com, amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter etc

Robinhood makes it so easy. Has the growth from up to 5 yrs ago. I’m up 23% and the years only halfway through

Be consistent though. Like another bill you pay every month into the stock market except it’s making you money while you sleep

I use Robinhood as well. I basically purchase stocks from companies that I’m a consumer of (Under Armour, Nike, Google, Amazon, Netflix, etc)

I have a few pharmaceutical companies stock (Growth Pharmaceutical, INSY)

Also a few REITS (Real Estate Investment Trust)

This and don't forget AIM (Alternative Investment Market) companies as you could be in for a windfall if they become the next big trader.

My old coworker told me about Robinhood and I invested in 3 stocks because of it. All I got to say is just go with your gut instinct. I went with familiar brands that are on the safe side so if there's a drop, I'm not going to be as mad.

what are ETFs?

Get the book intelligent investor...

Stocks won't make you rich but it's better than leaving your money in the bank...

Get stocks that pay dividends and reinvest and if you become old, you can have a decent 2k a month income

Before you read any books do the Udemy courses. You need to learn the foundations before learning methodology.
