INVESTING 101: HOW TO GET STARTED INVESTING IN THE STOCK MARKET | LvL

As that adage goes, "stop saving & start investing!" Today's video tackles the basics of both these things. Everything mentioned here is in addition to whatever your company does for a retirement fund (i.e., a 401K). As always, investing is RISKY! In fact, given the way economic cycles work, it's been argued that the next recession is coming in the next couple of years. Whether or not you want to start investing now should be carefully evaluated based on your own financial situation and what your investment goals are. +++++++++++++++++ Mentioned in the video: MONEY LESSONS FROM MY 20s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rysTQu4YsIM&t=30s Best brokerage accounts: http://www.thesimpledollar.com/best-online-stock-trading-brokers/ Free trades brokerage account: https://www.robinhood.com/ (note, I use Robinhood & love it, but compared to the other platforms, this one is barebones... it's really for people who don't need a lot of handholding in stock investing. You can use this to purchase ETFs) Vanguard ETFs: https://investor.vanguard.com/etf/list Wealthfront: http://wealthfront.com Betterment: http://betterment.com +++++++++++++++++ As always, thanks for watching!!

1. Banks are FDIC insured up to $250,000 :)
2. Thanks for this! What do you think of apps like Stash that invest tiny amounts of money regularly?
3. New subbie here, thanks for sharing this info!
4. You seem like a very genuine person! I appreciate this video. Sub'd.
5. Thank you for this - I'm not overly literate in the stock market but I have been researching it lately in an effort to learn to invest. X
6. I began trading two months ago with the ambition to try and capture the equity of the entire market. After many deposits and swing trading (often sold too early), I now own securities in each of the eleven sectors; however, the portfolio I ended up with is simply too diversified and conservative for my taste.
   
   My question is, would it be ideal to sell off all and start over? I'm planning to put 50% into the Vanguard Total Stock Market (VTI), 20% in AAPL(capital growth), 20% in GS or WFC(high dividend), and 10% in speculative.
   
   Having owned 25 stocks and 12 at once, it is sometimes hard to keep up with new information. Been reluctant to sell some since I'm constantly hearing good things to come from them in the future.
7. This was very helpful, clear, and informative video. I started with Betterment since seeing this video back on 3/2. I might give the other one a try as well.
8. Just Subscribed !

9. Great info! Please make more of these if you can.Thank you.
10. Hey great video, do you have videos that talk a little bit more on Wealthfront and Bertterment? or is there a possibility that you could make a video where talk more on these two options that you mentioned. Thank you.
11. Love your video's! XxX
12. Great video, thanks
13. What stocks do you recommend or you have?
14. solid advice
15. OMG! You look like a Southwest Flight Attendant with that scarf.
16. Fab video Joanna! Really like how simple you explain investing. I would also recommend funds like Vanguard, passive investing is probably best suited for those who are faint hearted like myself or who don't have time to actively manage stocks.
17. I love your videos!
18. Yesss! Thank you so much for doing this.
