These days, I see many people investing in companies without even knowing what it does.
If you are a trader that analyses charts, follows momentum, or look at other technical factors, sure. But for the majority of us, investing in what we don't know will lead to disaster.
"Stick to your circle of competence" - Warren Buffett
The worst is, these people are influenced by emotions and panic sell when they see a red day.
What happens when you know what you're doing, and what you're investing in?
You won't be as affected emotionally and can make rational decisions. Since you know and believe in what you are investing in, emotions won't get the better of you when you see huge fluctuations in stock prices.
These are the basics to selecting companies:
1. Understand what the company does(your circle of competence)
2. How does the company make money and can they keep growing long term?
3. Use valuation methods such as P/E ratio, DCF, P/S ratio etc. to estimate the intrinsic value of the company
4. Is management of the company good, or ridden with scandals?
5. Are you comfortable holding this stock long term even if it goes down?
Being patient can be tough sometimes. But think about it this way - you don't have to do much once you decided on a company. If you done your research and fundamental analysis correctly, you don't have to worry about it.
It is only when something has fundamentally changed about a company that you need to evaluate it again.
Good luck!

everyday people come in ask why drop again? why up again.. if you are someone who is worried about prices up and down everyday then i think its better for you to not step into the market in the first place. less stressful. just go buy an ETF or roboinvestor. so you dont check everyday and ruin your day ‘why is it down again’ ‘should i sell?’.

$BABA-SW(09988.HK$ quite frankly, the latest restriction on Alipay and tercent code for personal long distance transaction is good for the market. Prevent fraud and money laundering. Apparently, the market would make a fuss of it…. as they usually do. does it affect the ecosystem. apparently not unless you are in the business of fraud and money laundering. Will the noise keep coming? of course, they want to get it cheap. Will I buy baba now? Depending on your position. if u have non, perhaps it’s time to look at it. Still, I will wait when there are so many fomo who would sell at a greater discount. For me, I am waiting for a good opportunity to average down my holdings at 150 . BABA has become a value stock and 114 would be an irresistible level. alternatively, I am thinking of sell a put at 114 to collect premium.

The news that “personal receipt codes are prohibited from being used for business services from March 1, 2022” and “personal static receipt barcodes are prohibited from being used for remote non-face-to-face payments” sparked a buzz.
This news comes from a new bar-code payment regulation notice recently issued by the central bank. On October 13, 2021, the central bank's official website published the “Notice of the People's Bank of China on Strengthening the Management of Payment Acceptance Terminals and Related Businesses”, which puts forward a series of management requirements for collection agencies and clearing structures. At the same time, bar code payments have also been regulated, and specific regulations on the use of bar codes for personal receipt have been made, and will be implemented from March 1, 2022.
Hong Kong stock prices of Tencent Holdings and Alibaba fell.
