Why are you losing money in the market?

I'll tell you why in

"Your Money Isn't Protected From Being Dumb 101"

- THREAD -
1.

"You sell when the market drops"

Unless there's a material change in the business

Why are you selling?

Be confident when others are fearful

Buy more of your favorite positions and dollar-cost average your way to wealth
2.
"You think cheap is better"

You believe the price movement of a stock under $5 will make you more money than that of a stock over $100+

But why is a stock cheap?

The same reason why clothes from Walmart are cheap

Because of their shit quality

Stay away from cheap
3.

"You think too much"

Investing should be robotic

That's why they have services called "robo-advisors"

(Duh)

If you have a strategy....

Stick to it

You will fail miserably if you try to go against what you understand in the market
4.

"You take advice from TikTok"

Yes I have the app

Yes I'm ashamed

But do you know how many times I've scrolled through and seen some guy in a dress shirt and tie preaching about the next "hot stock"

F**k that guy

Do your own research
5.
"You don't invest for cash flow"

What happens when the market drops?

You experience a capital loss

But what happens if the market drops & you have a steady stream of income from dividends

Not so much of a loss now is it?

But DiVidEnDs ArEn'T WoRtH iT

Ya right

I've 5x'd the national average of money invested for my age bracket

I didn't get here by chance

I have a normal job with an average salary, but I became smart with my money once I learned these 5 things:
1) It's not about how much you make

It's not about how much you make, but how much you can keep

If you make $150k but spend $140k

You're worse off than someone who makes $100k but only spends $50k

Keeping more of your money allows you take advantage of the compounding effect
2) I built my emergency fund first

Don't start investing until you have an emergency fund

You might want to bypass the emergency fund and get into investing right away, but you need something to fall back on

Put some money in a HYSA and use it as your margin of safety

The easiest path to wealth is through buying index funds and holding them long term

But once you have a foundation in place, it may be time to start branching off into individual stocks

Here’s what I do before I even consider starting a position
1) Understand The Company

Don’t know how a company makes money?

Ask Ai to give you the answer in 100 words or less

Use this to your advantage

We have access to so much information in a fraction of a second Image
2) Check The EPS Growth

Stock prices follow earnings.

That’s why it’s important to understand EPS growth trends.

Take $TSLA for example

Historical 3Y EPS growth rate of 2.3%

With a 17.8% growth rate projected in 2025 Image

Dividend growth investing is easy

Especially when you know what to look for

Here are 5 tips to help you buy better quality dividend stocks:
1) Don’t chase high yields

New dividend investors will often chase high yielding junk to get the best bang for their buck

Big mistake

These stocks are usually at risk of dividend cuts

That’s the worst thing a dividend investor can experience
2) Look for healthy payout ratios

Payout ratios will vary depending on the industry of the company

But I like to buy stocks in the 35-55% payout ratio range

This ensures you’re getting paid while the company is also retaining earnings for future growth

That’s the secret

I’m a Gen Z investor with a portfolio worth over $200,000

Here are 5 lessons I’ve learned along the way:
1) Build a foundation before branching off

Dont rush into buying individual stocks

Build a foundation of index funds first

This will become the backbone of your portfolio and allow a margin of safety to extend into more volatile positions
2) Most stock market news is irrelevant

The majority of the “breaking news” headlines will have no impact on your wealth long term

The best thing you can do is turn off notifications and stay focused on your end goal

I don’t care what anyone says…

Dividends are the purest form of passive income

The holy grail

Here are 4 tips you can implement TODAY to start making your money work for you:
1) Find the right brokerage account

There are plenty of options out there

Many of them offer investors zero trading fees, which can cut into your wealth long term

Some examples:

Robinhood (U.S.)
Fidelity (U.S.)
Wealthsimple (Canada)
E-trade (U.S.)
Questrade (Canada)
2) Contribute to your account

The best way to do this is by setting up automatic contributions

Start small and increase them over time as your income grows

The money will come out of your account in the background and you’ll log in every month to a cash position

$5 per year…

That’s how much I was making in dividend income when I was 18

Now I make $3,915/year and it’s growing on itself without me having to do a thing

Here’s how I built my dividend portfolio in grade 5 language:
1) I bought stocks with a history of dividend increases

The first place I bought from was the Dividend Aristocrats list

Stocks that have been able to raise their dividend for the past 25+ consecutive years

They’ve survived through wars, pandemics and recessions
2) I ignored the noise

The thing with dividend investing is that it requires a long-term mindset

If you don’t hold the stock, you won't get the dividend

When you switch to a long-term mindset, short-term news has less of an effect on you
