  • Investing seems like a great idea, I mean what could be better than letting your money

  • grow without doing anything.

  • Instead of spending endless numbers of hours in the office hustling, just let your money

  • double or triple by itself.

  • As great as that sounds.

  • Investing is extremely dangerous and risky and chances that you will lose money are way

  • higher than you will make money.

  • Some of you might say: If I don't invest my money, inflation is

  • going to swallow it little by little.

  • So I gotta do something.

  • No, you don't!

  • That's way better than losing the money that you worked so hard to earn in a blink of an

  • eye.

  • Let me justify my point before you write down a comment: You have no idea about investing.

  • Every company in the market knows that you want to invest and they will do everything

  • possible to convince you that they deserve your money the most.

  • Most people think that the stock market is a game of numbers but its mostly a psychological

  • game.

  • How do you make money in the stock market? you study and analyze companies and find out

  • undervalued stocks.

  • Because eventually they will rise up to their real value and you make money!

  • However, the problem is, most people buy high and sell low!

  • because most people invest based on the headlines that they see in the news, but its too late

  • already.

  • The first rule of investing is if everyone is investing, its a bad investment.

  • Here is what happens usually!

  • Enthusiast or professional investors start investing a certain stock or a commodity,

  • so the demand naturally drives the price up.

  • When It appears on the news, an average person starts realizing that price is just increasing,

  • it seems like a good investment.

  • first, you hesitate, there is still a shred of doubt in you, but the price is rising right

  • in front of your eyes.

  • So you convince yourself that you have to take the risk if you want to make money.

  • Hence you invest.

  • The price keeps rising, you feel happy.

  • but after short-while, the price slightly drops.

  • you don't pull out because you haven't lost anything, the price just dropped to the

  • point where you invested, so not a big deal, but it plummets further, you get a bit nervous,

  • but as an intelligent investor, you know you should be patient.

  • Unfortunately, in the next few days or weeks, the price just keeps plummeting.

  • At some point, you just get frustrated and you pull out before you lose even more money!

  • Isn't that what happened with bitcoin for example.

  • Lets take another example.

  • In March of 2016, Tesla unveiled model 3.

  • Finally, an affordable electric car for everyone.

  • Over a 100K people reserved the car in the first 24 hours.

  • It was all over the place, everyone was talking about how model 3 will take over the auto

  • industry.

  • People saw Tesla as the golden opportunity to invest.

  • the stock price was at an all-time high (from 230 USD to 380 USD within a year).

  • It looked like a perfect opportunity to invest.

  • So, naturally, most people started investing which drove the price even further, but what

  • is the first rule of investing ? Exactly, never invest when everyone is investing.

  • So what happened is, the stock price crashed and now its less 200 bucks (196).

  • The price literally fell by 50 percent. and All these people lost money.

  • Of course, most people won't invest now because the stock price is down, but now is the right

  • time to invest!

  • The stock market is much harsher than you think.

  • You are competing against people like Warren Buffet, George Soros who have hundreds if

  • not thousands of people helping them from accountants to specialists.

  • They spend endless numbers of hours figuring out how to take the hell out of you.

  • I am not trying to discourage from investing.

  • I just want you to know that you either get really serious about the stock market or for

  • god's sake don't waste your money!

  • My fellow friends who invest in real estate always tell me when they hear me such things,

  • I told you, real estate is a better investment.

  • it's definitely better in some cases, especially if you know what you are doing.

  • but it has its flaws as well which we will discuss in a future video that's coming

  • soon! so make sure you hit that bell button besides

  • subscribe button because just by subscribing, YouTube isn't going to let you know.

  • Unfortunately, that's how youtube works these days.

  • Can't do anything about it.

  • anyways, That's for watching and until next time!
