Investing DOESN'T Have To Be Complicated!

Despite the myth, investing in stocks doesn't have to be, or even need to be, complicated. And you don't need to be an expert or math wiz to understand it.

It can be as simple as you like.

In this video, I'll go over the basics of investing and the only things you really need to know.

And that is having a trading account to trade with, knowing what you want to buy, ignoring the stock market fluctuations, and letting time do its magic.

You could start with an Exchange Traded Fund (particularly an index fund) or individual companies, whatever you like.

The biggest lesson you can get from investing is to just start. Put some money in. Buy an ETF. Ignore the market for a while and especially ignore the news reports, and check back in at a later time to see what’s happened.

Happy Investing
Tracey :)

I have been involved in the share market for a long time . This is excellent advice, well done .

[jonathanmagic]

I remember getting out of CBA shares when they were less than $10.00 and WOW shares when they were $3.00 as they didn't seem to be doing anything back in the 1980's/90's, lol.

Great advice! Patience and DCA - that's the "magic" recipe

hi, Tracey. I just recently followed you on YouTube but I feel like you are a trustworthy, kind person that I've known and I really respect your effect on each video. I have one question about ETF, can I use my superannuation to invest in ETF and if it's a yes, how to do it. hope you can see this message.

Thanks, Tracey. I have been following your channel for a year now and I think this is your most valueable advice to date. I am now an investor in some of the top 200 companies and quality etf's . I have gained the confidence to take the plunge thanks to you and am really happy with where my portfolio is heading. Keeping it simple is a GREAT strategy.
Cheers

I've learned so damn much from this channel. Thanks Tracey!!

I like your videos and the approach you use with stocks. I agree it can be simpler and without making it too complicated. I target mostly the bigger, longer established and reliably profitable companies but make a few exceptions for companies that provide essential services like childcare, aged care, medical pathology and funeral which can be disappointing at times.

Just have to say that I enjoy watching your video because they are full of information presented in a simple awesome way

I love that CBA now have commsec pocket and have reduced their minimum single share trades to $500. I haven't 'checked out the other traders though. I know that some of my friends use them.

That is the problem with making money is that it is not as exciting as people think and also they can't distance themselves from their emotions and just ride it out.

I really like these short form videos 👍

Hey Tracey! I am in exactly the same position (i.e. have come to the same conclusion) as you have described in this video. I am paying a considerable amount of money for software that I thought would be the "secret sauce" in my investment journey. They claimed to reduce the time spent analyzing the market but even instructors within the same software companies are taken to task by the founder for making it too complicated. Most Youtube videos by this company pledge better returns for more $$ outlaid. In these tough times, enough is enough! Can you please do a regular segment on which trading platform is appropriate for buy and hold, dividend and growth and options trading in Australia. Cheers!

New beginnor here-Is investing in the indivisual ASX200 and having an ETF that tracks the same index a waste?

[leandronascimento]

Just read the book psychology of money and see this video, you'll be good for the rest of your life. Your videos are awesome, thank you for sharing this valuable knowledge. This video should be called "investing for dummies". Thanks again for having this channel with so much info.

Great video Tracey, I'm about to invest my first $1000 and this video has helped settled any nerves moving forward. I do have a couple questions though. Firstly, towards the end you mentioned that the only time you may consider selling your shares is if a company has undergone drastic changes in management. Are you able to clarify what drastic changes would cause you to consider selling? Do you mean if the company's performance went down? Or is there something specific about a company's change in structure?

One of the easiest job on this planet Investing. Never wait for crash start wherever we are. Steady & Slowly keep buying. Than Wait & Hold see how the luck get changed & built big folio. 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍.

who much money, I need to live with stock dividens, also Australia have renta crisis, is better to rent or buy. Thank you

[kowp]

hey :) do you rate VHY for a good ETF to buy?

With bank interest rates rising, dividends become less competitive when you factor in risk.
