The Basics of Investments

[bubilas]

7. Know When to Withdraw
Investing isn’t just about putting money in it’s also about knowing when to take your profit. Don’t get greedy. Learn to cash out wisely and enjoy the fruits of your investment.

Final Note:
At the end of the day, investing is a journey. It comes with risks, rewards, lessons, and sometimes losses. Just make sure you’re informed and intentional. That way, whether it works out or not, you’ll know you moved smart.

Most people who actively invest don't know how to set precise goals for when they'll convert their assets into fiat currencies. So, as their assets grow, they constantly shift their target further and further instead of settling on a fixed price and celebrating their success. For example, Bitcoin has fallen sharply right now. Do you think many people were selling it at 120? I'm not talking about institutional investors, but about ordinary people who would have bought something they'd long wanted. But believe me, most of them didn't buy it, but waited for further growth to set new goals.

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.

I think there is no investment without risk which mean if you don't dare to taking the risk then you will never gain decent profit from your investment and every investment tools have their own risk depend on which investments would you choose and for long term purposes investment should be profitable that's why before investing people should be learn the education about the risk of investment besides that before invest too people have to set their goal of profit and the goal of year which mean how many years they should be hold before decide to withdraw or sell all of their investment instrument and taking profit

Investment choices are a very important thing and have a big influence and after that we have to study the investment that we will make, actually this is not an easy thing from a financial and mental perspective in investing, we will not immediately get profits from the investment that we make, in fact there is a potential for loss if we make the wrong steps or investment choices and the most important thing and must be remembered is that every investment has a risk and the size of the risk will be worth it with the possibility of profit and loss.

Taking a risk is a big deal, specially if you are not rich or anything. I am a poor person so I take a poor persons risk, like take a 80 dollar risk, sure it's a very small one, but if I am right and I do well enough for a few months, then I will keep investing that much and in 10 months, if the prices are higher or if I made some money then suddenly I have 2k dollars instead of 800 dollars. That type of risk is valuable, pays off debt, gives you a clean life and worth it.

Not a lot of people can do that but I think that is the way most people want to live. I know that this is going to take some time for people to get used to things like this, but it can be done and not a bad idea at all, should be a supportive thing.

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.

Is this all? I don't think so, I think the best strategy with trading is risking small money and grow it up, have we already forget what happened in Oct of this year? No single trader was spared, those who don't lose money are not trading at all.
Bad times matters, they are called bad a reason and there are levels to all bad results, youay never recover from a single bad event, what I have learned is to always risk part of my money, not everything that I had.
I learned this after I wasted a lot of money all for investment, I forget that investment can also go wrong and that equals to all ways of making money too, not just trading and investing.

But as a reminder, not all investments are profitable. And this is why we have to assess which is a good one and which are the bad ones. Because even if we tell people that we are investing but if the choice we've got are the bad ones, we're not going to profit. However, I'm looking at it in the brighter side that type of investor is going to learn still from that mistake and will eventually have a good decision to make for the next investment choices that they're going to do. So, it's not only about investing and making yourself as an investor but also being knowledgeable and the choices we make.

The approach to do the investment according to your own capacity or budget is the best approach. It does not matter that how big your investment is but I think this is important how much you can handle the risk. Patience and continuous efforts and calculated investment can change the small businesses into something big. doing investment according to your own capability keep you save from higher loss. Its not something small, but its a smart way to think like that. Thinking about the profit before investment is not right. First start business by using all means and tools. Stay positive and consistent.This discipline will turn your business grow steadily

The basics of any investment starts with financial education. One must be financially literate to embark on any business venture. This is the minimum entry requirement even before we begin to talk about the other key principles that have already been mentioned, like risk awareness, diversification, patience, strategic withdrawal, and others.

On the other end of being financially literate is patience. Patience will keep you in the game for the long term and guard you against falling for scams because you want to get an ROI of 120% in a short time.

My top recommended book on investment is this: The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

You see financial education and knowledge of the investment that you are planning of go in is the most important thing, and if you dont have this both their is no way you can be able to succeed in the investment.  In every investment you have to understand the risk and to know the limit you can afford to. Investment is not just having money if you dont understand of how to use money and how to make your money back from your investment,  it becomes a problem to the investment that will end up of being a failed one. Financial understanding is a key to a successful investment.

I agree that investment is a means of increasing our source of income. We should invest wisely, it is a valuable asset for us. When a person uses their investment in a good place He only not earn income, it also makes assets, because investment generates income, it's important that we know how to use it. If anyone does not use investment wisely, He faces a lot of losses. When we will develop our own thinking in investment, only then will we be able to succeed. Investing without planning does not yield any benefit. this is better for us to invest, in something that we have experience in. This will proved Helpful you to earn the best income with profits.

You are right, in fact, investment should not be considered too easy but should be seen from a place of real challenge, discipline and understanding. Before encouraging someone to invest, he should be well explained about awareness. Investment requires financial management. There are many investors who pour all their money into investment without properly managing their finances.As a result, financial crisis arise due to which they cannot continue investing in the long term. Profit from investment is never possible in one day. It is a gradual process and in this process, one has to be mentally prepared and patient. Apart from this, there are market fluctuations. The market can rise as well as fall and it is very important to keep this in mind when investing. Investment is not about getting big returns tomorrow by pouring money today, only those who look at investment with a long-term perspective can achieve success.

I like the second point that, investment is not a get rich quick scheme, this is true most people see investments of any sort as a get rich scheme. This is why they always get discouraged when they don't see the Needed effects of their investments on the initial stages of the investment when it's just starting. This is a fundamental knowledge about investment that everyone should have because, when it comes to investments what we will have is the return on investment which will take time to mature before it can bring back money to the investor. Just like Bitcoin investments which many people today see as a get rich quick scheme, investment of any type should always be a long term basis if the needed and right results from the investment is to be gotten.

Sometimes, ambitious individuals, seeing the results of others without understanding the fundamentals of investing, inevitably think that investing is a way to get rich quick.
For example, those who only know crypto as a digital currency used for investment see many wealthy individuals buying Bitcoin, only to see their portfolios decline and then sell their Bitcoins.
However, they don't understand the fundamentals of investing in Bitcoin. It's not a short-term investment, but rather a long-term one. Those who have gained wealth from Bitcoin have held it for 7 or 10 years.
This is the importance of investing fundamentals and having a smart mindset.

In Bitcoin investment, of course, it must be based on sufficient knowledge and strong fundamentals so that you don't just see other people succeed but you have to pay attention to the process so that rich people succeed. Most beginners certainly think that investing in a quick way to get rich will make them traumatized if the predictions don't match their expectations.

For beginners, they must know that the risk of investing in bitcoin is very large, so successful people save more of what is not used by buying bitcoin and saving it for the long term, so let's think smartly with strong investment fundamentals so that we can get what we hope for.

Every investment, no matter how well calculated the numbers are, comes with its own risk, and that is why, before you start any form of business, the basics of economics are important because they will help your knowledge in finance and management. As you are calculating your profit, at the same time, you should put your losses into consideration, so that if eventually things go out of place, then you should be able to figure out ways to help solve challenging problems, because when it comes to investing, it is usually complicated, and that is why you have to be well informed so that when challenges come you don't panic to want to sell and when investing do a proper research on how to till with a lot of cases.

The main motto behind investments will be to get profits. Yeah, we will not be able to get rich instantly but things will start getting along if the investments we should have worthiness. The get rich quick scheme is for losers who fear about making real-life investments and search for shortcuts where they can make immense money without actually putting any efforts. This mostly does not end up good. They end up losing everything they have. Nothing in this world is a get rich quick scheme at least until you look for legal ways to earn money.

But, I'm sure people have learned their lesson after the collapse of multiple such get rich quick schemes. History has showed us millions getting wiped in such schemes so mostly everyone at least those with knowledge will ignore such things.

Don't look at the risk alone, how well do you understand the investment you are interested in? The more you understand the investment you are already reducing the risk of the investment for yourself.
Investment is challenging but if you know what you want to achieve it can get easier, people invest to make quick wealth and join where many people are rushing into without doing their own research.
Even if someone tells you about Bitcoin you still need to do your own research.

[dezoel]

You did cover pretty much all the important points but still people might need to have real life investment experiences in order to make profits out of investments. "Investments" sounds too good to hear but once we start investing is when we start winding up in several problems.

We can never know those problems until we start with real investments. As people say, you can only learn to swim if you dive into water. Just practicing or measuring the water will not help you learn how to swim. With investments, we do not always have profits. We will surely have loss some or other time but that should be considered as a learning curve and we should not regret the decision but to learn from our mistakes and do well in upcoming investments.

I completely agree with you because many people see investment as a way to get rich quickly but in reality, the main idea of ​​​​investment is patience and a planning for long term goal. In the beginning of any investment, the results come slowly because then the capital has just started working. Many people get disappointed at this stage, which is the biggest mistake because you cannot get disappointed at this time. Investing means planting a seed and wait for when it will grow over time and eventually bears fruits. So, for Bitcoin and stock market, you should move forward with a long-term perspective instead of expecting quick profits from Bitcoin or stock market. Because real profits come when you understand the fluctuations of the stock market and make decisions based on knowledge instead of emotions. So my opinion is, to be successful in investing, you need to use your patience, knowledge and you should manage your time properly.

There are many factors to consider before investing. Although it may seem easy, careful consideration and other factors must be taken into account, not just doing it haphazardly without careful consideration.

Furthermore, we must understand and realize that this is a risky venture. While we can try to avoid it, risks can still occur even if we anticipate them. This is one of the things to consider before investing.

While we sometimes need to take risks in something we're passionate about, careful consideration is essential. Taking risks doesn't mean making hasty decisions without careful consideration. That would be a mistake.

Some people think since they have invested that is all thinking is easy to achieve there goal easily they didn't think they will face some challenges first before they achieve there goal, we should always remember that investing in anything can't just make you rich easily you need to lose some of your funds before you get what you need nothing is easy to achieve even business you can't just start business and said the next day you have sell all your goods and become rich they will be always a hard term and that is why even the bitcoin investment you need to Invest it for the long term because you can probably achieve your goals when the price increases. Anyone that you are trying to introduce to investment he need to now that patience is the first thing he need to handle before he can take risk because anything that you can be patient off he will always be difficult for you to solve.
