The Basics of Investments

[eightdots]

Understanding the market you want to invest in is one of the most important basics of investments. For example if you want to buy gold, you need to understand certain things about gold, if not you might end up with a counterfeit product, if you want to buy crypto, you need to also do your own research, so you don't buy wrapped bitcoins, thinking you have bought bitcoin, etc.

That said, you should also understand the law/regulations around the market you want to invest in, you need to understand the taxes attached and what you'd be doing that could be illegal.

Before investing, it is necessary to have information about the market and to know what to do in case of negative situations or how to act to prevent a negative situation. There are many things to know and it is necessary not to rush when investing. Rushing can cause you to make wrong decisions in many matters.

It is necessary to follow the changing or newly made laws. There may be different decisions taken regarding investment in each country.

This is what OP didn't mentioned but I am glad that many have mentioned this, patience is a must for every investor.

Investors by nature are impatient and that often leads to first time losses in trading. Eventually the consistent and diligent traders will understand this and stop doing it.

Then there are those people who are rare but have good patience and are able to keep calm throughout events - for them bad times dont matter much and they are able to execute trades efficiently. We should try to be like them and learn from them.

Dont give away money to exchanges just by being in a hurry.

I think those situation happened due to misconceptions since they have limited knowledge towards what they are dealing with. But as you have said if they experience lot of things on trade they realize that those past actions committed is wrong that's why they lose their money.

To learn on trading it really need consistency and proper research. If they can able to show eagerness to learn and develop good discipline towards handling their finances there's good chance for them to become a good trader. What's better to pay  attention is we should learn from the other people mistake since its expensive for us if we learn from the mistakes we committed.

Being in hurry is proven would not bare good result that's why they need to be more technical and try to analyze the market before trading.

[passwordnow]

if all investors are patient, they're unlikely to fall from such situations and they'll even thank themselves for learning how to be patient.

Being patience and investing are highly related but the basics of investment principles are not limited up to that level. What would happen if you invest with a saturated business or an asset with no future, there being patience got nothing to do with your profits. I mean to say being patience will help only if you are good at choosing right assets. You need to be skilled for where to be patience and where to switch your investments often.

We're not saying that it's limited to it but it is part of the basics for every investor that needs to learn. It's a combination of many important factors that each of us have to learn to become profitable and productive with the investments that we have. And I think if someone invests on a saturated business, they're not experienced at all but still being patient on that part teaches some lessons that before investing, we have to DYOR.

I agree, we should be like those who's got the patience that can't be moved even in the bad times. I think these kind of investors have been tested by time and that's why they seem to be not moving at all and they're calm.

It is necessary to follow the changing or newly made laws. There may be different decisions taken regarding investment in each country.

In my opinion, regulation is often ignored by many investors, even though it is a very important point, which is the main foundation in investing. Indeed, investment regulations are sometimes quite complicated to understand, it takes a long time to learn them, but it can minimize risk and increase the opportunity to gain profit. Each country certainly applies different rules regarding the amount of tax deductions, and of course provides loopholes to avoid larger deductions, that's what I mean.

I think learning regulations is almost as difficult as learning market movements, determining the type of investment you want and predicting potential profits. However, even though it is difficult and takes time to learn everything, I think it is very much worth the benefits that can be obtained when investing.

You can lose it all, a lot of people don't consider this before starting up an investment, it's all risky and it's possible for you to end up losing everything you invested this is why it's advised for people to always invest what they are capable of losing, no matter how legit or sure you think that investment might be there's a possibility that it might go south at the end. Always learn to think smart and have a plan b

I see great deal of people thinking that investment will give them money and there's no risk, in truth even investing in the safest asset there's always a risk involved.

Countless of people losing money when market crashed despite investing in a blue chip stock is enough proof that investment always have risk, the activity of creating money out of money has always been a risky ones.

If there's no risk involved everyone would've been warren buffet.

They just need to follow through the right foundation of ideas and financial opinions.Although,these processes are not so smooth and rosy but investment is highly essential to grow wealth overtime.Do not just follow trends,a proper understanding will help grow fast.

1. Understand the Business You’re Investing In

That's probably the biggest problem among investors these days, because as you said, they are in a hurry to make money, and due to that, they don't spend enough time understand what they are getting into, and they go ahead only because they've heard people say that they can make good money from this industry or business. We shouldn't look far, and take the example of the crypto market. So many newbies enter the market with very high hopes, because they've heard or seen people talk about how much money people around the world are making from cryptocurrencies, so they decided they are going to do it as well, because it's good and can make them a lot of money.

One should ask them, can one become a doctor without studying medical sciences and attain practical experience through various tests and sessions? No, then how come they expect themselves to become traders and successful investors without even learning anything about the industry they are getting into? Yeah, you can say that some people get lucky, and they manage to make good money without any knowledge, but that doesn't mean it should be the case with everyone.

Understanding the business and how it goes is very important factor and i think due to the hurry to accumulate wealth to meet up with demands, this is often neglected.
You will see so many persons in this category, always trying to invest in what their friends and colleagues are investing in because they have been convinced it is profitable, no proper research, not even some period of trial and error before erupting fully into it.

Investment means a risk, to make an investment successful, it is very important to first gain complete knowledge about the investment, along with knowing and scrutinizing the strategy, market, risk, demand and other issues. to make an investment successful, you have to decide quickly whether you will invest in the short term or the long term. to make the investment successful and reduce the risk, work according to a long-term plan and be patient for the right time. when is an investment worthless?

Surely is very important for one to have at least the basic knowledge about the investment you're looking into before carrying out your investment plans, just as it is in bitcoin investment if you don't have a basic knowledge about bitcoin investment you won't be able to profit from it.

2. Investment Is Not a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme

Anyone who is just getting started don't need to go with this intention, because having this intention can lead one into investing in shitcoin. we should know that there's no short cut to success, even if surely there are people who became rich over night in this crypto space but that doesn't mean that it will work the same for everybody, so to avoid regret it will be better if we go for the long term investment.

I think your attitude towards investment is completely negative. If investment meant risk, then countless people in the world would not be attracted to investment. First you need to understand the difference between investment and trading, if you do not understand the difference between the two, then you will not be able to survive in the market. Now investment can sometimes be worthless if you do not proceed according to the right plan. Short-term investment is considered very risky when you are a beginner. At that time and your own perspective should be changed, such as avoiding short-term gains and leaning towards sustainable investment. To be successful in long-term investment, you should have positive elements such as thoughtful income strategies, skills and patience.

[Solokan]

I'm very pleased that you've created this topic, which is certainly very beneficial for all of us, and I'm also impressed by your knowledge of all of this.

I agree with you that investing is a journey and certainly involves risk. The bottom line is that if we invest, we will potentially experience profit or loss. However, the key is that we must be adept at analyzing the long term in all aspects, because if we fail to analyze, we will certainly face the potential for future losses.

However, I believe that only money we can afford to lose is worth investing because investing carries risk. If we invest with money we can afford to lose, we will be able to invest calmly and be prepared for future profits or losses. And of course, patience is also essential for investors, because if we are impatient, we could potentially experience losses.

In as much as investment is one thing that is good as it will keep us afloat financially it's important that we don't use all our money in investing because using all that you have in investing is risky because when it comes to investments there's no guarantee of success so it's important that we have some saving while investing so that we can fall down to to it when there is a problem with the investment.



It's important that before we put our money into an investment that we have a proper background knowledge and check of the business so that we can understand how the business environment is and how it works because going into a business with out any knowledge and understanding will definitely land you in lose

[Sjkah]

You should always have a good idea about investment. There will be profits and losses in business. A person should invest by accepting these. You have to invest a lot of money in business. If you start investing with a small amount of money, it will eventually become a very big investment. People work hard to get any good results.

 Successful investors always work hard. You cannot make profits immediately after investing. You have to be patient and wait for time.

I believe this is where the subjects like emergency funds step in, besides emergency funds. You should have some sustainable finances that you can fall back to at trying times even while you are ensuring you invest what you can afford to lose.

You don't need to have a lot of good ideas to invest in Bitcoin. If you know about Bitcoin initially then you are a qualified investor to start investing. Often you may need a lot of money for a big business. Especially in the case of Bitcoin investment you don't need a lot of money. That is why Bitcoin has become an asset worldwide where even low income folk can run Bitcoin accumulation.

Successful investors make every effort to make investments long term. Most smart investors plan to do Bitcoin during their working life. They continue to accumulation Bitcoin until they reach retirement.

Basically I wish more people would know how easy it is. Most people do not realize how easy it is to invest into bitcoin, this is literally the way that you should be investing and you are going to get the most out of this. If you know about bitcoin, then put in 10% of your salary into bitcoin every single time you get paid, and then you are going to end up with a ton of bitcoin and money in 20 years. Can you do that?

If you can, then you are going to retire wealthy without a doubt, I do not think bitcoin will go down or crash, it will be much higher in 20 years, better than any other investment, better than stocks, better than gold. But if you are unwilling or can't do this, then you should not even look at bitcoin for something quick, because you are going to lose whatever you have if you do that and it is not a smart move.

Anyone who indulge into a business or into investment shouldn't that stand that investment yield a profit gradually, it is not something someone will adventure into and the began to make a profit immediately, investment take time for it a profit and the anyone who is indulging into investment should do know that risk is involved in investment and it is better for the person to microscope very well and the understand the basic things of that investment before establishing,

So one of the things that makes people to invest wrongly is lack of research and lack of understanding the kind of investment there are to establish.

[KeenanEl19]

Before investing, it is necessary to have information about the market and to know what to do in case of negative situations or how to act to prevent a negative situation. There are many things to know and it is necessary not to rush when investing. Rushing can cause you to make wrong decisions in many matters.

It is necessary to follow the changing or newly made laws. There may be different decisions taken regarding investment in each country.

That's why it's important to do research first. Investing is risky, and we certainly don't want to experience losses in any way. However, risk is always present and can happen to anyone. However, we can minimize it by having a good understanding of investment matters. Therefore, we must have good knowledge to avoid major losses.

And yes, what you said is true. When making a decision, it's best to consider it carefully and thoroughly. Don't rush into it. Even if you're confident the decision will yield satisfactory results, careful consideration is still necessary.

Investment is best known as something that brings in income generation for us, that is why we often call what we invested as an asset, because we have the position to stand and earn from it, we should also take our investment serious, so that it does not slip away from us to a liability, there are strategies to use and they have to also be more effective and efficient enough in driving out the results we wanted from being an investor that makes profits and not loss.

Investments are not always successful, but it all depends on how willing you are to take risks. If you are less risk tolerant, you will choose more stable assets. They will bring lower returns, but the risk of losing money will be very small. And if you invest in risky assets such as altcoins, you need to be ready for the fact that you will also lose money here.
