Paul, I’m
A mom of 5. After covid drop, I took over my finances. I didn’t sit around during covid, I educated myself. You have an untapped market here in the stay at home/ young mom investor. Bring us women who want a piece of the pie with you. We are a much valued asset as we greatly influence our husbands who are too busy working their 9-5pm to care. I’m sharing and getting the word out in my own community/. Our voices are a much valued long term asset.
Thanks for keeping it simple for some and diving deep for others. Appreciate your time sharing and knowledge.

The stock market always does the opposite of what I do

Great< video and some nice tips! This is a scary time for new investors but the best thing you can do is not to make decisions based on emotions. This could actually be a good time to buy more of your high conviction stocks and crypto on a discount. Wealth is created during bear markets, not bull markets. If your portfolio is really effecting your mental health then delete the app and go for a walk. Let the market do its thing and have a long time horizon. I buy and just trade long term more than ever, I have made over 16` Btc from day trading with Marie in few weeks of trading, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish..

I agree that there is market manipulation but ultimately a good company's stock price will go up over time. There also is computers trading against each other in quant funds.

The stock market isn't a scam but it isn't set up for everybody to win

Retail money didn’t even make up 30% of the stock market in 2021. You’re hilarious if you think retail or Wall Street Bets has the trillions needed to pump the stock market. Please tell me how you came to this conclusion I’d love to know?

It's time to stop following trends and start to do value investing. Buying good businesses at a good price is the key. One way could be to follow some value investing strategy like the frankcicinelli formula

[kofiofosu]

Yes. Not because the returns are not positive, but because ithe stocks are denominated in dollars which are steadily losing their value faster than those returns.

I dont trust the markets valuations, I have been short for the last 5 years, I will look so smart when it finally crashes back!!

[arentube]

It's not a scam, but there are plenty of scammy things going on and I think if people have a few examples of these things to point to, they paint the entire market with that same brush. I know that one of the things that really bothers me right now is seeing how many companies levered up early in the pandemic only to use that money to buy back shares, then look at see how many insiders sold at the peak after driving the price up with those buy backs.

Why am I making shorting Buffet's BRK this year?

Been following the channel for a long time and love it. I have been doing some research however on AVERAGE return of the stock market vs ACTUAL return. Can you talk about these and the differences because the average return of the market is roughly 10% but you are actually getting more like 8% every year.

Example: Paul touched on returns of hype companies crashing 50% and how it takes a 100% return to get your money back. In this case you averaged a 50% return when your actual return was 0%.

In conclusion, understanding actual and average return is something to take very seriously because a 2% difference between 10% and 8% can be a lot compounded over time. Just don’t want people planning for 10% returns year over year using the retirement calculator (if they need to save and invest more for what meets their goals).

Hi Mr Paul, are oil stocks good right now?

[incawarrior]

It is hard not to see the stock market as a scam when you how controlled it goes up/down.

Fundamentals almost never matter and generally speaking decreases/increases in the stock market are a result of big players selling/buying in a synchronized way.

Paul - can you do a video explaining why the stock market is a secondary market and why we can’t have centralized price discovery using something like DCF? Wouldn’t that always tie price to fundamentals and make owning a stock purely about company ownership?

[danbrown]

I don't think I have ever heard anyone saying the market is a scam
