Seven steps to start investing safely 2020 [Video]
|Steps to start investing for beginners can sometimes be intimidating especially if you’ve tried to listen to “experts” on TV and didn’t understand a word they said. The good news is, the majority of “experts” try to sound smart on TV and make investing more intimidating than it is, because they are wealth managers and if you are able to invest on your own, then they won’t have a customer.
The challenging news is that some people just dive into the markets without any education, try to figure it out on trial and error, and end up losing all their money.
I totally relate to such people because I was one of them. I lost $15K in trial and error trading the markets listening to market noise. Then I decided to invest in myself, get the foundation right, and now that investment continues to pay for itself over and over again. Specifically, I spent tens of thousands of dollars for the Certified Financial Planning program (CFP), the Charted Market Technician Progam (CMT), and so many others.
