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 75K 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.

Now more and more people should be paying closer attention to markets as a whole. These instruments don't climb vertically forever as there are upturns and downturns in the economy.

Making money from stocks look deceptively easy. The reality is that stock market is one of the toughest mental games in the world.

I came here to learn about trading after listening to an investment podcast where the guest mentioned how he made well over $450, 000 within 6months of investing $120, 000. somehow this video taught me nothing and left me even more perplexed, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas on how to invest for retirement.

_Every financial goal requires patience, dedication and consistent spirit knowing that investment is currently the most lucrative business in the world, BTC is positively changing people's lives. I stopped panicking about my BTC the very moment I started working with Kennet Gibbs last year, his confidence and skills is on a maximum level.

Scott is right. This tim guy is nuts. We are facing market collapse

[apothe]

Bear markets don't last forever and while there's probably more downside to come, a lot of the bad news is known and reflected in prices.

INFLATIONARY DEPRESSION as your stock market soars and your federal reserve notes become completely WORTHLESS !!!

[acesfullmike]

Lebenthal understands that the market trades for the most part on what it expects the future to bring, no mater what the present conditions are. Thats why stocks sink when their guidance is week even though they met or beat expectations. Also the reason that the market sank as soon as the fed announced it was raising rates. The real economic situation does not change over night, but the stock market does.

That's a lot of talking heads on the screen. I wonder if one of them can tell me why stock prices dropped when inflation was high? Inflation is an indicator that there's a lot of money in circulation, isn't this good for a company's bottom line? Higher revenues than otherwise right? Okay so high inflation is here and stock prices are rock bottom, so when inflation drops and there's less money in circulation revenues are going to fall also correct? Therefore stock prices should decline right? This is what happens when manipulation is left unchecked...
