Dividends are nice. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:00 🏢 A bond allows an individual to be a partial lender to a company.
01:28 📈 Companies can either finance growth by issuing more equity (shares) or borrowing money (issuing debt).
02:55 💸 Borrowing doesn't dilute company ownership, but borrowers must be paid interest before shareholders see profits.
04:53 📜 Bonds are certificates issued by companies to raise funds. They state the face (or par) value, interest rate, and maturity date.
07:18 ⌛ Bond interest payments, called "coupons", are typically paid semi-annually, with the principal returned at maturity.

Great video. I watch several youtube videos on how to trade in the market but haven't made any headstart because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands

This is amazing just to realize how things around work. The information is gold.

[davidtrinh]

the best clearest video out there. most introduction videos dont even tell you how much you receive as the holder of the bond and just segue into a flurry of complicated information. more videos need to take it step by step like this and explain exactly how each entity of the party makes money and the reasons behind it. well done
