Some ☝🏽 for trading some for long term…

• What is an ETF?
ETFs are a Great Tool for Novice & Conservative to Moderate Investors. A Great Tool for Traders who want to “hedge their bet” with a Diversified Long Term Play.
With a Single Stock, you have to “Be the Expert”, with an ETF like SPLG FTEC VOO VGT or SPY, you’re leveraging Billions & Trillions worth of expertise and countless hours of people who know more than you… People who have a vested interest to ensure their ETF thrives.
• When you invest in individual stocks, do you repeat this process every time?
• When you invest in individual stocks, do you repeat this process every time?
Analyzing whether each stock is worth buying… Dealing with uncertainty about when is the best time to trade… Repeating this process again and again and again…
Until we build a diversified portfolio.
Of course, the aforesaid might be considered the "correct" investment strategy, but it can be time-consuming and extremely exhausting.
What if you're short on time or lack expertise? Does that mean you can't invest? Not at all!
Until we build a diversified portfolio.
Of course, the aforesaid might be considered the "correct" investment strategy, but it can be time-consuming and extremely exhausting.
What if you're short on time or lack expertise? Does that mean you can't invest? Not at all!
Today, we'll discuss an investment tool - ETFs - which may help you save time and effort while investing.
We've spent countless hours researching and gathering information to bring you sharper insights in just 10 minutes. Let's get started.
1. What is an ETF?
Just in case someone is still unfamiliar with the concept of an ETF, let's quickly explain.
An ETF(Exchange Traded Fund) invests in a variety of assets like stocks, bonds, and commodities.
Unlike traditional mutual funds, ETFs can be traded on an exchange just like stocks, which means their prices are readily visible and trades can be executed quickly. However, this characteristic also means that ETFs can be more volatile than average mutual funds.
It's important to note that ETFs don't always track their underlying index perfectly due to 'tracking errors.' These occur when an ETF's performance deviates from its underlying index or asset due to various factors such as trading rules, fee structure, and margins. In general, higher fees may result in a higher tracking error
🚨 Disclaimer ⚠️
Before investing in an ETF, you should read both its summary prospectus and its full prospectus, which provide detailed information on the ETF’s investment objective, principal investment strategies, risks, costs, and historical performance (if any). You can find prospectuses on the websites of the financial firms that sponsor a particular ETF, as well as through your broker.
A Word About Risk: Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs are subject to market volatility and the risks of their underlying securities, which may include the risks associated with investing in smaller companies, international securities, commodities, fixed income, and more. An ETF may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value (NAV).
Leveraged and inverse exchange traded products are not designed for buy and hold investors or investors who do not intend to manage their investment on a daily basis. The use of leverage by an ETF increases the risk and are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leveraged or daily inverse leveraged investment results, and intend to actively monitor and manage their investment.
This presentation is for informational and educational use only and is not a recommendation or endorsement of any particular investment or investment strategy.

$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ 👈🏽 This stock, at the current price, fillowing the EPS trend and demand, will likely to get a PE ratio of 32 next year, so no reason to worry... At 170 next year, look for EPS projection again then decide whether to sell if at all. Also pay attention to macroeconomy, when GDP rate gets low and jobless/debt explode, people can exit the market.

possible 20% or more soon 🔜 based on TA or popularity

💫 The Long Game
Recognize that investing is often about long-term growth rather than short-term gains. The market can be volatile, and understanding that ups and downs are part of the journey can help you remain patient.
.
💫 Remember:
Bulls make money, bears make money, but pigs get slaughtered - aka don’t get too greedy
You can get paid when the market is going up or down but don’t be greedy.

You can get paid when the market is going up or down but don’t be greedy.
.
💫 Look into Capital Gains Taxes, long term vs short term wherever you’re located
When you sell for a profit there are often larger gains taxes which is good to be aware of so you’re not shocked
ETFs and DCA help us to not get caught up in emotions as easily

Extra Credit:
• Investing is fun and exciting but dangerous if you don't do any work.
• Never invest in a company without understanding its finances.
• Everyone has the brainpower to make money in stocks.
Key 🔑 Takeaways ☝🏽
Rule 1: Investing is fun and exciting but dangerous if you don't do any work.
Rule 2: Your investor's edge is not something you get from Wall Street experts. It's something you already have. You can outperform the experts if you use your edge by investing in companies or industries you already understand.
Rule 3: Over the past three decades, the stock market has come to be dominated by a herd of professional investors. Contrary to popular belief, this makes it easier for the amateur investor. You can beat the market by ignoring the herd.
Rule 4: Behind every stock is a company. Find out what it's doing.
Rule 5: Often, there is no correlation between the success of a company's operations and the success of its stock over a few months or even a few years. In the long term, there is a 100% correlation between the success of the company and the success of its stock. This disparity is the key to making money; it pays to be patient and to own successful companies.
Rule 6: You have to know what you own and why you own it. "This baby is a cinch to go up" doesn't count.
Rule 7: Long shots almost always miss the mark.
Rule 8: Owning stocks is like having children - don't get involved with more than you can handle. The part-time stockpicker probably has time to follow 8-12 companies and to buy and sell shares as conditions warrant. There don't have to be more than five companies in the portfolio at any time.
Rule 9: If you can't find any companies that you think are attractive, put your money in the bank until you discover some.
Rule 10: Never invest in a company without understanding its finances. The biggest losses in stocks come from companies with poor balance sheets. Always look at the balance sheet to see if a company is solvent before you risk your money on it.
Rule 11: Avoid hot stocks in hot industries. Great companies in cold, non-growth industries are consistently big winners.
Rule 12: With small companies, you are better off waiting until they turn a profit before you invest.
Rule 13: If you are thinking of investing in a troubled industry, buy the companies with staying power. Also, wait for the industry to show signs of revival. Buggy whips and radio tubes were troubled industries that never came back.
Rule 14: If you invest $1000 in a stock, all you can lose is $1000, but you stand to gain $10,000 or even $50,000 over time if you are patient. The average person can concentrate on a few good companies, while the fund manager is forced to diversify. By owning too many stocks, you lose this advantage of concentration. It only takes a handful of big winners to make a lifetime of investing worthwhile.
Rule 15: In every industry and every region of the country, the observant amateur can find great growth companies long before the professionals have discovered them.
Rule 16: A stock market decline is as routine as a January blizzard in Colorado. If you are prepared, it can't hurt you. A decline is a great opportunity to pick up the bargains left behind by investors who are fleeing the storm in panic.
Rule 17: Everyone has the brainpower to make money in stocks. Not everyone has the stomach. If you are susceptible to selling everything in a panic, you ought to avoid stocks and stock mutual funds altogether.
Rule 18: There is always something to worry about. Avoid weekend thinking and ignore the latest dire predictions of the newscasters. Sell a stock because the company's fundamentals deteriorate, not because the sky is falling.
Rule 19: Nobody can predict interest rates, the future direction of the economy, or the stock market. Dismiss all such forecasts and concentrate on what's actually happening to the companies in which you have invested.
Rule 20: If you study 10 companies, you will find 1 for which the story is better than expected. If you study 50, you'll find 5. There are always pleasant surprises to be found in the stock market -- companies whose achievements are being overlooked on Wall Street.
Rule 21: If you don't study any companies, you have the same success buying stocks as you do in a poker game if you bet without looking at your cards.
Rule 22: Time is on your side when you own shares of superior companies. You can afford to be patient - even if you missed Wal-Mart in the first five years, it was a great stock to own in the next five years. Time is against you when you own options.
Rule 23: If you have the stomach for stocks but neither the time nor the inclination to do the homework, invest in equity mutual funds. Here, it's a good idea to diversify. You should own a few different kinds of funds, with managers who pursue different styles of investing: growth, value small companies, large companies, etc. Investing in six of the same kind of fund is not diversification.
Rule 24: Among the major stock markets of the world, the US market ranks 8th in total return over the past decade. You can take advantage of the faster-growing economies by investing some portion of your assets in an overseas fund with a good record.
Rule 25: In the long run, a portfolio of well-chosen stocks and equity mutual funds will always outperform a portfolio of bonds or a money-market account. In the long run, a portfolio of poorly chosen stocks won't outperform the money left under the mattress.
