Investing 101: A Tutorial for Beginner Investors
Have you ever wondered how the rich got their wealth and then kept it growing?
Do you dream of retiring early (or of being able to retire at all)? Do you know that you should invest, but don't know where to start?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you've come to the right place.
In this tutorial we will cover the practice of investing from the ground up.
The world of finance can be extremely intimidating, but we firmly believe that the stock market and greater financial world won't seem so complicated once you learn some of the lingo and major concepts.
We should emphasize now that investing isn't a get-rich-quick scheme.
Taking control of your personal finances will take work, and, yes, there will be a learning curve. But the rewards will far outweigh the required effort.
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to allow banks, bosses, or investment professionals to push your money in directions you don't understand. After all, no one is in a better position than you are to know what is best for you and your money.
Regardless of your personality type, lifestyle, or interests, this tutorial will help you understand what investing is, what it means, and how time earns money through compounding. But it doesn't stop there.
This tutorial will also teach you about the building blocks of the investing world and the markets, give you some insight into techniques and strategies, and help you think about which investing strategies suit you best.
So do yourself a lifelong favor, and keep reading.
One last thing: remember, there are no "stupid" questions.
If after reading this tutorial you still have unanswered questions, we'd love to hear from you.
