Not Financial Advice About Investing!
Quick disclaimer, nothing I am writing about in here is financial advice, it is from my own research and experience, please do your own research before investing as you can lose the capital you invest, only invest what you’re willing/able to lose.
Blog posts are at the bottom!
Have you ever been curious or interested about the idea of investing but the thought scares you?
You’re not alone, I thought like that too.
You may have heard things growing up such as “investing is gambling” or “if you put money into the stock market you will lose it all”.
I know I was told that growing up and it really scared me off the idea of putting my hard earned savings into something that will make me lose it!
It’s only now that i’ve researched a lot more into it to discover whilst although investing is technically never 100% safe, there are ways to invest that make the chance of losing everything virtually next to zero!
(and if it did drop to zero, it’s probably because something bigger is happening such as a zombie apocalypse or nuclear fallout, at which point the value of your investments would be a slightly smaller concern)
Compound interest the eighth wonder of the world, he who understands it, earns it & he who doesn't, pays for it.
There are a lot of different ways to invest your money, a lot of different platforms to invest on and a lot of people trying to sell you a strategy promising you huge (but false) returns and methods to “beat the market” (if everyone could make 500% on their investments, money would have zero value).
The key is to understand why you’re investing, how you’re investing and how long you’re investing for (don’t worry if you’re not sure, I’ll be covering all of this in an upcoming blog post).
Here are a few of the subjects I plan to cover within the blog:
- What The Different Types Of Investments Are
- What Is Compound Interest
- Dividend Investing For Beginners
- What Investment Platform Should You Start With
- How To Passively Live Off Your Investments
Whilst there is technically no such thing as a safe investment, there are steps and plans you can put into place to reduce the risk as much as possible and there is one word to summarise the process;
DIVERSIFY
Imagine you put all your eggs (money), into one basket (one company) and the basket gets a hole in it (company goes bust).
What happens?
You lose all your eggs or in this example, you lose all your money.
Now imagine you put all of your eggs into multiple baskets and only one gets a hole, what happens? you lose an egg or two, but not the entire lot.
In summary, by diversifying your investments, you can cover all bases so to speak so if one investment dips or crashes, you only lose a portion of your money, whilst the other investments remain untouched and can continue to grow and increase in value.
So, let's jump into what you're here for! (not financial advice) about investing!
