Passive is king. I like to let time and compounding do the work.

The massive popularity of passive index investing is probably leading to over-priced stocks, so not sure what that is going to mean for the longer term..

Yeah, I get those concerns. Critics of index funds have been saying similar things for 20-30 years though, during which a boring world tracker has returned average 10% a year. Some of the American tech stocks in particular look overpriced so can see a short term dip. But long term I'm not too worried.

Like any other stock or share. The more people pump money and invest into it, the more the value increases. 

 

It's just that with crypto it's all hypothetical value so it's a house of cards waiting to collapse as soon as any of the major investors sells all their holdings. 

Tech version of pyramid selling

Have got absolutely no idea about stock shares or investments but want to start any tips? 

I will leave specific info to more knowledgeable souls, but given I am also a dummy at this, finding an existing portfolio to buy into has been a safe route for me.

As per the above, put monthly payments into an existing investment fund. Choosing individual shares is very, very risky. There again I thought Bitcoin was risky and I've known people who raked it in.

How old are you?

Do you already have an ISA?

@Lako42 I'm disappointed in not pulling the trigger on EEE about a month ago. Missed a nice little upsurge..

I'm in that "I've missed the boat" mindset, yet I watch it continue to rise day after day 🙁. These days I have a hard time having full conviction with anything on AIM due to previous disasters!

Fair enough. You have to do your research on AIM and even then it's a tough environment. 

 

In 5 years I'm expecting a divi payment that exceeds the current share price from EEE, nevermind a higher sp 😁

Might be worth remembering that if the majority of professional investors felt the same way, the price would be higher than it is now.

The first step would be to determine your objectives. Do you want steady growth over the long term or are you wanting short term gains.

Short term gains would be nice but the former I’d say

1. Read good books. For instance, this: Morgan Housel - The Psychology of Money. Watch some Warren Buffet investor meetings on Youtube.

2. Pay off all credit card debt ASAP. Don't get into new debt.

3. Once that is done, buy a bottle of good champagne and congratulate yourself.

4.  After you are debt-free,  begin investing in an S&P500 index fund. Keep investing monthly, no matter the market.

5. Stay the course, don't trade, because ultimately you will lose.

6. Don't listen to anyone who tells you they consistently beat the market, and so can you.

 

Wish someone had told me this when I first started investing, I would've been WAY ahead by now.

A nice 5% to open up the day lol 

 

When you consider that this will one day be a Major (imo) then it's all irrelevant
