I know almost nothing except that my Capt at the station bought a bunch of stocks when they were in the tank during early Covid and they have all pretty much tripled or more. Sure wish I had jumped on that earlier.

I have started readinga ton about it, but there is alot of information to ingest. I donnt plan on getting rich with my small investment, but its something to start small.

Better to make lot of small bets than a few big bets. If you bet on individual companies, then look at the words, values, lifestyle, and actions of the people at the top in that company if you can... then decide if you would trust them with your money. Nothing is guaranteed, but if you do your research, you can avoid the mistakes that will be obvious in hindsight for everyone else.

I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

I was looking at making a ton of smaller investments , for the time being anyway. Right now i am looking aT ETF, which are just much smaller shares from mutiple companies. Its one more conservative ways to start for beginners. I will remember your pointers. Thanks
