Hey, guys! In this video, I dive deep into my investment journey on Easy Equities over the past year and share exactly how much money I made. Get ready for some real hardcore numbers as I reveal my wins, losses, mistakes, and regrets. Along the way, I'll also give you five important lessons that I've learned, hoping to educate and motivate you to amplify your own investment journey.
Lesson 1: Embrace the Roller Coaster Ride - Investing in the stock market means being prepared for ups and downs. Seeing your portfolio drop by 20% can be tough, but remember, stocks outperform other asset classes in the long run. So, brace yourself for volatility and focus on the big picture.
Lesson 2: Beware of Social Media Influencers - Following stock-picking advice from social media influencers, especially for individual stocks, can be risky. During a bull market, everyone seems like a genius, but don't fall for the hype. Many influencers manipulate small-cap stocks and crypto prices, leaving beginners with losses.
Lesson 3: Be Skeptical of Online Portfolios - Screenshots of portfolios can be misleading. It's easy to cherry-pick winning trades and hide losses. Don't trust everything you see on YouTube or elsewhere. Dig deeper, analyze statements, and question the credibility of those sharing their portfolios.
Lesson 4: Accept You Can't Beat the Market - Picking winning stocks consistently is extremely difficult. Sure, you may get lucky once or twice, but long-term success comes from investing in well-diversified ETFs or unit trusts. Avoid falling for the illusion that you can outsmart the market.
Lesson 5: Increase Income, Invest in Broad Market ETFs - Instead of spending countless hours searching for marginal profits in individual stocks, focus on increasing your income. Whether it's through extra shifts, a side hustle, or improving your skills, invest that extra income in broad market ETFs or unit trusts. It's a more valuable use of your time and resources.
Join me as I share the performance of my different portfolios, including my Easy Equities ZAR account, tax-free savings account, and US dollar account. I'll explain how I adjusted my strategies, diversified my holdings, and navigated the market crashes.
