Simple Financial Education
A quick guide to my preferred methods and resources when it comes to investing.
Platforms:
- Fidelity Investments (customer support, best pricing)
- Etrade (top web platform)
- Voyager (cryptocurrency with dividends)
Rules to follow when buying stocks:
- Do not buy on ‘green’ days, remember it’s a percentage game not a fixed dollar game. Fear of missing out (FOMO) is an emotional danger. Do not be controlled by emotion.
- Hold long term investments when possible (longer than 12 months). The 11% long term gain tax is much better than your normal income tax.
- Buy dividend stocks and reinvest the dividends. Compounding interest over the long term is a multiplier of profits.
