How to Invest in Stocks and NOT Lose Money

Three big mistakes cause new investors to lose their money and I fell for it within the first year I invested in stocks. Between having most of my money in just a few stocks to not knowing how to compare stocks or when to sell, I lost all the money I invested.

In this video, I’ll show you how to invest in stocks by sharing my own story and those three biggest beginner investing mistakes. Then I’ll reveal a simple stock market strategy that will help you avoid these mistakes to make money in stocks. It’s a complete investor for beginner’s guide in less than 10 minutes.

New investors love to go all-in on a single stock or follow it down dollar-cost averaging. The problem is, eventually they hit a stock that destroys their portfolio. It’s why you should never have more than five percent of your portfolio in any single stock.

Beginner investors also need to understand…OK, even older investors need to learn this, that stocks are more than just a price chart. There’s a time for momentum investing but it’s much more than just looking at a stock price and investing in what has gone up in the past.

Have you ever been up double-digits in a stock only to watch it crash back down into a loss? You need a sell price for every stock you own. That doesn’t mean you can’t be a long-term investor, just that you need to know the reasons that would lead you to sell your stocks.

Don’t miss that stock market investing strategy I’ll detail towards the end of the video. It’s my favorite strategy for investing in stocks and will help you avoid a lot of the problems that make new investors lose money.

I think patience is easily the number one thing to avoid losing money. You only lose money when you sell!

As a dividend growth investor, my only regret is not understanding this sooner.
I only buy stocks with I actually like to see the price action move sideways and buy on dips. I don't want the stock to move up in a big way as each individual share costs me more.
...and big shout out to you Joseph. I thoroughly enjoy your analysis.

95% of trader lose learn to hold. No one goes from broke to rich without market pain. Stop selling and buying on emotion. Buy. Hold. Get through the pain. In 10years you"ll do great. Don't buy meme coins

Jo, I am so happy to see your channel growing! You deserve it! Love your honesty and transparency. For me, the one mistake I wish to have avoid was to buy high and sell low. Now, I only invest 1 -2% on each position at a time. Thanks to you, my portfolio is healthier now with index funds, dividend stocks, and growth stocks. Thanks for all you do for us!

My biggest mistake was "chasing" the stock prices, and then buying after they had gone up!

Great video! I forwarded this to my daughter who is just beginning her investing journey! :)

[mmytacist]

biggest regret is (are) selling too soon. In the last year: NVDA, MELI, SQ, PINS, SHOP, ... one day I will learn. Made money in all, just could have made double or more if I held

[thegormlesstwit]

Great video, haven't watched it yet but I know it will be. First.

Listening to others that had no idea of my financial status. They had me investing more than I could instead of saving some 1st and then investing.

[weilinyu]

Thanks, Joe for the video. I am so glad that I have found your channel here, I learned a lot from your videos. I like your strategy in allocating the portfolio. What would you recommend in picking the ETFs for the 50% of a portfolio? Thanks!

[retromoto]

For me! It's all about the moving averages, MACD & RSI. I like selling stocks & taking profits more than buying them!
