Hello sifus,

I want to start learning about stock market. How did you start and what is your advice for beginners?

Tried googling stock market courses and found so many... not sure which is good or if it's a scam or not? What do you guys think?



Already read LYN stock market FAQs & Guide, T+3, Dividends, commissions/fees, etc... to try and understand the basics but eager to learn more... any help is appreciated

1st have you got your emergency cash stored up? Can you tahan if you are out of job for say 2 years?  These are the basic.
2nd determine what kind of investors you are.
Dividend investing,  dividend growth investing (buying companies with increasing dividend),  value investing (buy something you think oversold and not at real value and wait for price to pick up), growth investor (buy growing companies usually small companies and hope to profit big time),  player (treat the stock market like a casino), trader?
Are you a local or international investor?
3rd what will you do if a stock drops 30% in value? What are you going to do?
4th Will you employ leverage (take loan from brokerage and buy using borrowed money)?

After answering those questions yourself (I don't need the answer, is for yourself)
Here are some resources for you or read.

Avoid stock market courses. Most of the time they do more harm than good (sell you empty stuff/useless). Read financial blogs and books.

Thanks for all those links. Have spent the last 2 hours reading up on all of the resources you've linked, especially those written by Leigh on Dividend Magic.

I think my plan is to be 1/3 Hunter and 2/3 Farmer. Will only invest with cash instead of borrowing, especially since I'm still new to all of this.

I don't really care too much about dividends. I'd rather not get dividends if I know the company will put the profits back into expanding the company similar to what Amazon did.

first thing you need to know and decide is whether you wanna go the investing path or the trading path

then seek the necessary knowledge accordingly

I've been saving for the past few years and want to go full time on stocks. So hopefully, do some trading and the rest in investing long term. Now, I'm just reading up as much as I can. Started reading The Intelligent Investor. Once i'm done with that book, I'll read the others that was recommended.
