BOUGHT FIRST STOCK WITH $50 & 3 GREAT INVESTING BOOKS

Comments

  1. I was like this for years buyin apple stock/google trying to be cool.about to turn 21 and last year i finally started a pool cleaning business i have 38 accounts generating 4500 monthly and about to hit 1k oz's of silver. Getting into kindle publishing now. Thanks for the vids lots of good stuff.
  2. I read a bunch of books but none of them mention where stocks are bought. I went to the grocery store they didnt have any. I went to the flea market they didnt have any either. Checked under my pillow but the tooth fairy was fresh out. Ideas and concepts are great but can u make a video or maybe just mention what square one looks like for someone whos gotten out of debt lives below their means and doesnt do stupid things like the starbucks guy??
  3. Pigeon, the prblem was his complete lack of trying to understand his financial decision. The amount is not the problem, and "getting his feet wet" is jsut the beginning of ignorant investing habits. If he had RESEARCHED it and made the choice it would be very intelligent, which is why I suggest the books first.
    You are 100% wrong on your answer, but most people don't "get it".
  4. I think your criticisms are way to harsh.  Getting your feet wet into investing with $50 is better than just reading about it.  I'm sure he'll do more as his income improves and he gets more experience.  StarBucks isn't my kind of stock either, but they have a strong brand, and I would say strong management.  It's not as if he was chasing some penny stock.
  5. Guilty of buying a stock on being sexy in the past as well. I lost 1,000's. I got smart back in 2009 and buy those dull industrials with sweet dividends. Some popped over the years but none flopped. Sustainable dividend yields are overlooked by many individuals starting to invest. Don't fall in love with the company at face value but rather on performance. Its not a beauty contest
  6. I am investing in sanitary napkins and Midol....It's just something that I feel is valuable to me at times...
  7. Good point, whoever wrote that blog seems very oblivious. He didn't do any research on the company and whatnot.
  8. At least he's only being foolish with $50, not tens of thousands like people were during  the .com bubble. I can't hate on this guy... I mean there is a value in going through the experience of owning a stock, getting shareholder letters, and observing how the markets move.
  9. Hi FF. Spending the $50 on books is a good idea....but man oh man, you make so many bad assumptions about this guy - do you know him? Why rant about someone who invests $50? You even say......the guy just wanted to get his feet wet on the stockmarket (your video would've made sense if he had invested his life savings). He did the right thing on starting with $50. I've done exactly this - just wanting to see how my brokers website worked. You advise he'd be better to  "Go buy your friends drinks" with the $50.........then he wouldn't even own ONE share!!!
    You say the guy is merely a gambler. With as much knowledge/research as you like, the stock market is still a gamble. This is why all brokers by law must issue a warning sign.
    Always enjoy watching your vids - think you got this one wrong. Mark in the UK
  10. sadly this is how the aveage investor thinks. im dumber than a box of fucking rocks and yet i can see how stupid this is. starbucks is at a all time high. ive never been in starbucks and never plan too. why would people want to pay $5 for a cup of fucking coffee that they can make in their house for 25 cents?  im thinking only the dumb money buys shit at a all time high. the smart money bought starbucks under $10 in 2009 and is now dumping it. even me with bitcoins. i've always kind of liked them but when they were 1000 and everyone was going batshit crazy for them i held off and i didn't start buying until bitcoins went down 80%. maybe it will pay off maybe it won't but at least i can say i didn't jump in with the herd and buy them at a all time high. like jim rogers says you do'nt want to jump onto a moving bus. i'm hoping when greece defaults in 10 days that they start using bitcoins. you could see bitcoins over 1,000 in a very short time
  11. Crap...if that's not a top signal I don't know what is.

    Isn't this the same as when taxi cab drivers making recommendations back in the dot com bust?
  12. SBUX, no time like the present!

    Only up 1000% since 2009 lmao.

    Tell "Mr Top-tick", good luck. I'm rooting for him. I'l go out and buy a cup on his behalf.

    SBUX does pay a divvy. 1.2% yield @ present time.
  13. Got it thank you.
  14. sorry its been a while checking it all out now.... i havent drunk a coffee in months and i just had one before watching this video.... 0_0. "i better buy a pencil company" lmao..." if you want to get your feet wet just spend 52 dollars on water and splash out a bit"
