CAN I INVEST WITH YOU? INVESTMENT NUGGETS 101

in #investment6 years ago (edited)

I was inspired to do this post after a very interesting conversation I had with an old friend whom I met after 5 year after graduating from high school. We set up a time to have lunch in my house. I just moved in into my new apartment in a reserved part of the town.
After pleasantries and catching up with old times, “congratulations he said, ‘’I see all is truly well here with you. ‘’Thank you’’ I replied but I cannot take all the credit on this achievement. I actually took advantage of what my friend @samstickkz taught back then in when I was in semi final in the university.All I did was do a bit of research on the knowledge he shared with me and spiced it up with my own secret working formula. ''can i invest with you?'' he asked.

Below are nuggets of some of the investment nuggets I shared with him, I hope it would of help to you as well.

Building wealth takes diligence and time

Professionally it is recommended that you invest what (money) you may not need immediately for next minimally 5years in stock (cryptocurrency) in this case.

Investing becomes seemingly risky when the investor cannot at certain point differentiate between an asset and a liability. It is up to the investor to know which is securities are asset and which securities are liabilities. He should know when the security should be an asset and when it is a liability.

A security is something you hope will keep your money secure.

And this is why the organization that watches over much of the investing world is called the securities and exchange commission(SEC). However there is a modern SEC now ; the blockchain technology and every transaction, interactions are decentralized.
In a nutshell, investing is putting money (resource) you into things you think will increase in value over time. There are lots of possible investment: stocks, bonds and real estate.
Well the answer to the question is yes, you invest with me if and only if you are ready and willing to do your own research before you engage in any transaction.
Graham’s definition of investment puts in it clearer:

An investment operation is one which upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and adequate return

According to Graham, investing consist equally of 3 elements:

  1. You must thoroughly analyze a company and the soundness of its underlying business, before you buy it stock.

  2. You must deliberately protect yourself against serious losses

  3. You must aspire to “adequate” not extraordinary performance.


SUMMARY

Buy investment when the price is low, and sell when the price is high. That is how you make profit.Now that the several of the coins on the market are in a dip may the perfect time to buy and hodl.Taking a good risk after doing some sound research can keep you smiling when the tide of bloodshed on the coinmarketcap turn green.

• Never invest money that you cannot afford to lose. This is because if the value of your investment goes up, you could earn more, but if the value goes down, you could lose some or even all of your investment. Anytime you sell an investment for a profit, your earnings are called capital gains. If you lose money when you sell your investment you have what is a capital loss.
Thank you for staying with me on this. If you found this post worthwhile, kindly resteem so your followers would take a bite as well.

Self-development should be the foremost of all development. YOU CANNOT GIVE WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE. Thanks @samuelwealth for sharing

Yes sir... I agree more with you on this.
Thank you. Am glad you found my post worthwhile

Sound advice. So you think buying cryptos now is a safe investment?

Yes @ceemo It is. However you would have to do your own research if it if the risk is worth
taking. What is happening at the moment (the dip) is just a test of faith.
Tough time they say never last but tough people do.

This is great and sounding wisdom. Thanks for the enlightenment, counsel and guidelines in regards to the art and appropriate skill of investment. You really inspired your old friend and i believe he is also going to turn out to be a great well informed investor that is keeping other factors constant.

Wow... @yohan2on am glad you passed by my post. Thanks you for your insightful perspective.

Thanks a lot sir. What have written here is far better than any investment classroom could offer. You have it first hand.

Never invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

Too vital a statement there. Thanks
