I'm not comfortable with articles always talking about "only invest money you can afford to lose". Why do I want to invest my money with the thinking that I would lose it, then might as well not invest. It's more palatable if they write about "only invest money you don't need to use in the next x years".
Maybe I don't understand the world of the young folks, but the reels are so short, most of them don't even make much sense, lowering the enjoyment value.... the usual FB videos make for better viewing... moreover the captions for the reels are always truncated, clicking "More" doesn't reveal the extra words...
Believe in $Alphabet(GOOGL)$but given the current downtrend, have rolled down my put option from the strike px of $103 to $99 for an additional small credit. If the px falls further, I may buy direct from the market and continue to roll this option until it turns profitable 😬
I learnt my lesson after getting burnt on $Quantumscape Corp.(QS)$big time.... never invest in loss-making companies no matter how good the "future" story sounds. I don't think the peers are safer counters to plonk money in as well.
Doesn't this all feel like a game by market manipulators? Eg In the first place, why did the stock prices fall so much when most of the world continue to use MS windows and google, and eat fast food with or without the war?
