There were many ups and downs and open and closed accounts in my investment journey. And I would like to share three basic tips that I wish I knew before I started investing.
The following is just a brief summary. For the full article that covers these 3 basic tips for investing, click here. For my free e-book "3 Tips For Investing: Beginner and Intermediate Level", click here.
Tip 1 For Investing:
Determine your investment model. My two go-tos are the David Swensen Model and the 80/20 Principle. There is no "right" or "wrong" here. It's just good practice to have a plan.
Tip 2 For Investing:
Choose based on what you like. Some of your best first investments could be companies you already support by being a patron. Why not get more than one return on your investment?
Tip 3 For Investing:
Do your own research and investing. Why pay for what you can do yourself. The best part is you get to earn while you learn.
