Investing in the stock market is perhaps one of the easiest investments someone could begin making.

As opposed to something like real estate, shares are far more liquid and don't require a lot of capital to begin investing in them. But that begs a few questions: what exactly are stocks? How does one begin investing in stocks? And how much money can you truly expect to make from the stock market?

In this video, we take a look at what the stock market really is, how it works, and some of the common investment advice out there (DISCLAIMER: this is not financial advice - but more of a look at what is commonly taught in personal finance!).

We'll cover why somebody would decide to sell shares in their company in the first place, what an IPO is, how stock exchanges work, what an order for a share looks like, as well as some of the different order types that exist. We'll also cover the difference between long-term investing, and short-term investing, what indexes are, as well as how to invest in them through Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), and Index Funds.

There's also an important warning in the final chapter of this video where we take a look at how the market has been doing overall, and why we're seeing so many people make insane claims about the returns one can expect from the stock market, and whether or not this is typical.

My aunt passed and I inherited some of her portfolio and cash savings, I’m 28 with about 400k cash in savings and as usual everybody’s preaching invest, so what stocks are a good long term buy, only major purchase I intend to make is buying a home in 5years from my returns

[chris-pjrk]

I am regretting not investing in stocks ever since but still grateful i kept money in the money market. With about $200k maturing soon, i plan investing in the stock market. What stocks should I look into as a newbie to safely grow my money?

[johnlennon]

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

[leonarodwell]

Inflation and Recessions are part of the economic cycle, all you can do is make sure you're prepared and plan accordingly. I graduated into a recession (2009). My 1st job after college was aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today I'm a VP at a global company, own 3 rental properties, invest in stocks and biz, built my own business, and have my net worth increase by $500k in the last 4 years..

[greenquake]

After a nightmarish 2022, shell-shocked investors have losses to recoup and plenty to ponder, as an inflation report and a raft of other data did little to change expectations that the Federal Reserve would likely continue hiking interest rates even if the economy slows down, Which means more red ink for portfolios for the first quarter of year 2023. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $250k bond/stock portfolio.

[bobbymainz]

I think the stock market will do well in 2024, so I'm thinking of putting $220, 000 into stocks for my retirement. Any advice on doing this safely? Also, any important tips for the current financial situation?

[jakubageter]

At the beginning of the year, I increased my stock purchases somewhat, but not much. Why am I being so hard on this? Even if others in my sector make six figures apiece, I still want to be the first person in my polygamous family to earn a million dollars. I understand exactly what it costs to work harder in order to make more money.

[EthanBrown_]

The absence of stock investments has left me with a sense of remorse, albeit I'm appreciative of my decision to maintain funds in the money market. With roughly $200k nearing maturity, I'm gearing up to step into the stock market. Could you advise me on suitable stocks for a beginner looking to steadily increase their capital?

[Sheil-hard]

Considering the prevailing inflationary conditions, it appears improbable that the stock and housing market will register substantial gains in the immediate future. Therefore, it is advisable to temper one's expectations and acknowledge the potential length of the market's recovery period. It is my professional opinion that it would be prudent to defer any significant investment decisions until the economic environment stabilizes in areas of concern. Until then, exercising caution and refraining from engaging with the current turbulence would be the most judicious course of action.

[stephmeldrich]

Didn't Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett invent the strategy of buying/investing when the market is low and also buying/investing when the market is high? As Warren Buffet said, he has seen this happen many times in his life. Not an investor. My husband and i never earned more than a middle class salary. We plan to get retired at 58 with a stock portfolio worth $4M. We have never sold so much as one share of stock...

[stateofflux]

Dear James, Your were not destined to become an actor
because God wanted you to bring REAL value to this world,
Much Peace, Love and Respect Brother 🙏

[MIchaelGuzman]

Munger and Buffett have both achieved an incredible feat with Berkshire. They've turned thousands to billions, and have made a lot of people wealthy in the process. I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything.

[emilybrown]

I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 150K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities

[Manonnawave]

Let's all be honest, we all didn't deserve to watch this for free. People pay for seminars to learn stuffs like this. Welldone James! 👏🏾

[melitariver]

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time

[matturner]

Dividends from the stock market encouraged me to begin investing. What matters, in my opinion, is that if you invest and make additional money in addition to dividends, you will be able to live off of dividends without selling. It implies that you can provide that benefit for your children, giving them a head start in life. I've invested more than $600, 000 in dividend stocks throughout the years; I'm currently buying more today and will continue to do so until the price falls even further.

It’s funny how the scam bots replies to each other to fish some real people 🤦‍♂️
