The lifestyle of your savings, and why Big Mac?I've mentioned the word "risk" many times before, and it really is a very important word in the investment process. Today I would like to focus on a risk that you should pay much attention to as a future investor: market risk, or in other words, the risk that you will have to sell the shares you bought cheaper than the price at which you bought them, and suffer a loss in doing so. You will face this risk all the time, which is absolutely normal, because at any time events can happen which will cause the value of the stock to fall. It can be said that investing in stocks is a series of profitable and unprofitable operations. So don't get discouraged and pour ashes on your head if your first trades are unsuccessful. That's part of the process. Investing is not a one-time transaction to make a quick profit, it's a way of life for your savings. Remember the fundamental and simple rule of investing - the expected return is roughly equal to the risk you take. So, when you place money in a bank deposit, the only risk you take is that your money will depreciate by the difference between the rise in prices and the deposit rate. The easiest way to explain this is with Big Macs. Let's say you have the money to buy 100 Big Macs. But you don't spend it, you put it under your mattress. A year later, because of a price increase of, say, 7%, you can buy not 100, but 93 Big Macs with the money from under the mattress. Every time you put money "under the mattress," you reduce the purchasing power of your savings. To preserve it, you can put your money in a year's deposit at the bank. That way, in a year, you'll withdraw the original amount from the deposit, plus a profit in the form of interest. Even if prices go up, as in the last example, you can buy 99 Big Macs, not 93. Why not 100? Because the interest rate on a deposit is usually less than the percentage increase in prices (that is, inflation ). In our example, it was 6% versus inflation of 7%. If you choose not to keep money "under the mattress" and not to open a deposit, but to invest in stocks, then at the end of the year you can buy, for example, 150 or only 50 Big Macs, because you are dealing with a potentially more profitable and therefore more risky instrument. This is how the fundamental law of investing works, let me remind you again: as much risk as possible profit. Thanks to this law we can refine our formula: investing in stocks is buying a share of a company with the goal of getting a future profit from its sale and being aware of the risk of a possible loss. Awareness of the risk of possible loss is an obligatory variable of our formula, an obligatory ingredient of our investment recipe. Awareness of the problem is already a big step towards its solution. It's impossible to completely eliminate risks, but with proper management their impact can be minimized. So, after studying the entire series of posts, you will get the necessary knowledge and practical skills to: - find shares of companies interesting for investment; - evaluate the financial condition of companies; - determine the conditions for buying stocks; - determine the conditions for selling stocks; - manage risks; - take into account the results of your operations. You will have a ready-to-use strategy that will always help you find the answer to what to do or not to do with the stock at the current moment in time. You will not have to chain yourself to the monitor and do it all your time. You won't spend any more time doing it than you do watching the news or social media. You will learn to think like a intelligent investor, and you certainly will become one, if you are prepared to open yourself up to a very interesting and fascinating field of knowledge - stock investing. I sincerely wish you success on this path!

BTC, PYR, LINK, VET time to DCA?!Market can still capitulate and altcoins will in that case drop 40-50% or so. But lets assume that the market will recover fast. If the short time downside is 40-50% and the longtime upside is multiples...I don't think "waiting for the perfect entry" is the best choice. Don't wait to long to DCA into your favourite altcoins that you believe will survive the bear market. If the market suddenly turn bullish, you will quickly lose that big X-factor, upside (multiples to all time high) that the market offers you right now. Here are three of my favourite coins to DCA into - VET/PYR/LINK.

NEAR - Long-Term View! ✒️Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, as known as theSignalyst. NEAR has been overall bearish for a while and it is now approaching a strong weekly support and round number 1.0 in green. NEAR is forming a channel in red. For the bulls to take over from a long-term perspective, we need a break above the channel and last major high in orange Meanwhile, until the buy is activated, NEAR would be overall bearish and can still trade lower till the lower red trendline and 1.0 In this case, we will be looking for short-term buy setups. Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck! All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich

Raising initial capital: 4 approaches, of which one is not goodLet's break down the thought from the previous post in more detail. Obviously, to buy stocks, you have to have money, and if you are determined to become an investor, get ready to open your piggy bank. If you don't have savings, however, don't despair, there are other options. I suggest you look at the following 4 options for acquiring the finances to buy stocks : - Reduce your current expenses - Sell unnecessary assets - Increase your regular income - And the option I don't recommend using at the start is to borrow. I immediately stipulate that it is your, and only your responsibility how to apply the knowledge gained - to use something of the proposed or to go another way. I do not insist on anything. Rather, I am sharing information, but the decision is up to you in any case. My opinion - always start with reducing your current costs, because the funds you save now give you a chance to increase your wealth in the future through investing. Make it a rule to plan your purchases in advance and buy only what is on your list. Don't go to the store without a list, otherwise you will buy more than you really need. Next. Look at your possessions. Make a list of what you can sell without compromising your financial and mental well-being. Let what you don't need now serve to increase your wealth in the future. Increasing your regular income is probably the most time-consuming but feasible way to accumulate funds for investment. Many people are often faced with the problem of choosing between a job they love where they don't earn enough and a job they hate with a higher income or, even worse, a job they hate with a paltry income. In the latter two cases, I recommend becoming an active user of services that will help you find the job you want (but don't act in haste, don't quit a job you don't like right away). Remember our goal is to keep and increase our income, not lose it altogether. In the case of a job you love and don't make much money, think about how you can increase your income in your current job. Sometimes all you have to do is make up your mind and ask your employer for it. Even a small increase will help you start saving. And if you have both a job you love and a desired level of income, I congratulate you, you are truly lucky. Moving on. Borrowing for investments is the riskiest option. I highly do not recommend it, especially at the beginning of your investing journey. You definitely should not take a loan from a bank or other financial institutions. The credit rate will only increase your costs, and the need to repay the loan every month will break your entire investment strategy. If family, friends or acquaintances are willing to lend you money long-term and without interest, think about whether your lender is aware of the risks and whether you are aware of the risks associated with investing in stocks, and whether this person will demand the money back before the agreed upon deadline. Even if you have agreed on everything, write down all of the terms of such a private loan on paper, so it is easier to resolve any disputes. I always insist that the investment is conscious, that you understand and are ready to bear the responsibility and risks. So if you have even the slightest doubt about the borrowing option - don't take it! Consider another option. Ideally - work out a step-by-step plan and accumulate the necessary amount of money gradually.

Invest during crisis. Here’s why.Let's take Adidas shares as an example. To date, since the company's IPO in April 1998 the CAGR is 4.4%. At the IPO, the market price was 39.68 euros. 1.5 years later, in February 2000 – 70% less, 14.06 euros. CAGR would almost double: 9.6–9.8%. Similarly, for example, all subsequent highs and lows: 6.1% vs. 11.1%, 3.1% vs. 8.7%. Unfortunately, the probability of buying at the very bottom is small. But we have to try. What about now? THIS IS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

Investing is the ability to say "no" so that you can say "yes"Have a wonderful day, my dear friends! Let's get acquainted. My name is Capy. Someday I will tell you my stunning life story, and how fate has tied me to investing. I can't quite believe it myself sometimes... But that's not what today is about. Today I'm starting a series of posts to introduce you to my vision and strategy in the very multifaceted and insanely interesting topic of stock investing. Let's start by figuring out why you should be an investor? Many people think that investors are some kind of Wall Street wolves who trade stocks of companies and make unimaginable amounts of money on it. I'm sure there are those too. But, in fact, investing has long ceased to be the monopoly of the employees of banks, brokerage companies or big businessmen. Investing is available to absolutely everyone who plans their wealth and has the basic knowledge obtained at university. Or aspires to learn this indomitable beast. This is the reason I started this blog: to help everyone who wants to understand and share my ready-made strategy that you can apply in the process of investing. It's worth saying that every one of us has done the act of investing at least once in our lives, perhaps without even realizing it. For example, when placing money on a bank deposit (the well-known bank deposit), renting out real estate, opening a business or just learning. All these actions have one common formula: you give something away now in order to get it back in the future and, in addition, to make a profit. When you rent out an apartment, you cannot live in it because you have given it to other people to use. But when the lease expires, you'll get your apartment back, plus a profit in the form of the rent you've been receiving all that time. When you start a business, you put money into it so you can pay it back later through the proceeds. And, of course, you expect the returns to exceed the costs invested. When you invest in education, you plan to use what you have learned to achieve something, whether it's getting a job or enriching your inner world. It is the expectation of profit that is the main motivating factor for the investor and the main purpose of the investment. If you give someone an apple and they give it back to you after a while, that's not an investment. And if you give someone an apple, and after some time you get two apples back - you are already an investor, because you made a profit in the form of an additional apple. The upcoming series of posts will focus on one of the investment options - namely, investing in stocks of companies. I plan to teach you how to approach each trade wisely and in a measured way to keep you from engaging in short-term speculation that looks like a casino game. Going back to our formula, a stock investment is a transfer of your money to a particular company in exchange for a stake in its business. The purpose of these actions is to make a profit in the future from the sale of the shares (in the case of buying cheaper and selling higher), or the second option - to receive dividends. Dividends are when the company shares with you a portion of the profits in proportion to your share in the business. But we will focus on the first option to make a profit, that is "buy cheaper - sell more expensive". And the dividends to consider as a nice bonus to this strategy. I will publish a new post soon. Let's talk about approaches that will allow you to find funds for investment.

BTC 23.11.2022I think that the current prices of BTC are not suitable for trading . For spot purchases, the $13300 and especially the $10000 price level are ideal places to buy BTC. Also, I think the $19000-19200 range is the maximum that BTC can go through in a possible mini-rally . According to my expectations, BTC will continue to fall without exceeding 19200$ levels and will accumulate between 13000$-15000$ levels for a long time. Afterward, it will come to the levels that are the bottom of the rising trend and make the last liquidity cleaning and the new bull will start. This is, of course, a process that will take months. What I write here serves as a note to myself. Does not include investment advice.

the trend is strong with this ICE: a simple long term approachWas not planning to do any deep dive research for this one, but the long term trend of ICE is too obvious to ignore. Despite the choppy daily chart with now and then a small jump, it did grind higher and higher, decades-long. When dealing with such a long time frame, it's important to adjust the pr-ICE to splits, dividends, and rights offerings. And let the logarithmic trend be your friend. A drop deep into the lower channel, without breaking it, provides a once in a decade opportunity, So one simple strategy for long term investors, assuming you did your homework and will keep following the development of the company: Buy when under the middle line, hold or buy less when above; keep the first tranche light and periodically add a small sl-ICE.

SOLUSD LONG TERM IDEABINANCE:SOLUSDT SOL was one of the best performing coin in 2021. After Topping 250+ SOL dropped almost 90% to it's original ATH price. if we look closely SOL is forming descending broadening wedge pattern. Which is bullish pattern. if we take a look at weekly RSI and MACD both of them are quite bullish. VPVR indicator also showing strong support near 38-40$ area. that doesn't mean we can't go below this level. this is just technical analyses so we will just ignore the fundamentals for now. SL: $37 TP: $70 if we break the wedge we will see further upward movement to 90$ - $115. Disclaimer: this is not financial advice

Always stick to your opinions.After 2 months of price action, I am here again to update my chart. If you read my previous ( Log Fractal ) analysis, there are many proof how strict I stick to my targets. You can always find reason to buy everywhere... To be more clear, BTC is about 15% to hit it. I also think, it would fall much lower. There are some chances to fall into green trend line ( Return to the mean). However, I am gonna buy Bitcoin at first, altcoins on the way lower due to my high-risk management. At first, you have to find out who you are when it comes to chart. Are you trader ? I am not any trader. I'd rather not buy at all, than buy weak position. Patience is clue. Took years to be so calm. I even do not consider DCA strategy as good. Rather save money and wait, when we are witness of the worst world-wide economy situation. Never hold you money at any exchanges ;- ) Charted some fractal bars but that means nothing if you can't predict time frames. Yours Emvo. *This is not any financial advice.
