    I would buy SG blue chips and STI ETF during crisis or when it drops, collect it's dividends. sell only when it fundamentals change. buy US stocks with dividends collected.

    Focus on companies with strong economic moat, growth potential and positive cash flow. Avoid chasing highs and NEVER panic sell. DCA if req. Sell when the market is rallying way beyond fair valuation

    Learning to invest is like a baby learning to walk.  Start with baby steps first, taking the time to learn the ropes.

    Firstly set your goals and ask yourself why are you investing?  Investing without goal setting is like driving without knowing your destination.   

    Then learn how to invest by learning from the experts like Warren Buffett, Charles Ellis, Burton Malkiel.  Read books, learn how to select stocks, join community like Tiger Brokers. Practise paper trading. 

    It is important to start early so as to enjoy the magic of compounding.

    Most importantly learn to handle the emotions that comes with market volatility. Set stop loss guidelines and diversify the portfolio.  It is best to invest in tranches so as to minimise loss. 

    Investing can be scary to beginners but once you have learnt the ropes, it is a very rewarding experience to reap the rewards from the fruits of your labour.

    Most simple way if no time, don't know how, no experience, no one guide, no interest, too lazy to research etc.
    Go for long term S&P 500 ETF investing.
    Just keep buying whenever you got excess money.

    Picking stocks

    You’d probably heard of using FA: Fundamental Analysis or TA: Technical Analysis. Both can make money (and lose money). Best is to stick to one in beginning, learn it well and ‘paper trade’ to test your stock picking ideas [can do this in Tiger App]

    Once you feel you have understood enough, confident they could work, try small real trades, or get ‘skin in the game’.

    It's better to learn to do your own analysis, avoid 'stock tips’ or what others say in forums, as by that time, price might have gone too far up or down, and there’s no longer good setups or risk-reward.

      Profit and losses

      For buying and selling, there’re many good advice in the comments here to follow.

      I’d like to instead suggest something related, handling losses, to me more crucial than taking profits.

      For this, do PA: Psychology Analysis – figure out your thoughts and feelings when in losing positions. How’s your state of mind and emotions when down -$500? -$5,000? If very stressed out, losing sleep, feared into inaction or panic sell, you’re probably taking too much risks or too large positions. This you can’t ‘paper trade’ - only when taking actual trades with real money involved, would you truly experience what goes on in your mind and the raw emotions. Adjust how you invest if needed.

    Here are 5 advice I wish I could give to my younger self as a beginner investor:

    1) Pick majority indices ETFs e.g. ‌$SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$  ‌‌$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  ‌ to buy and hold for years as Markets are up in longer-term.

    2) Allocate less to picking individual stocks, e.g. high growth or speculative stock with capital that you don’t mind losing

    3) Treat investing like running a business, taking profits and incurring losses, commissions and fees are part and parcel of the cost of doing business.

    4) For shorter term trade, before buying or selling, know what price you would enter and exit and try your best to stick to it

    5) Be disciplined to cut losses from unprofitable trades is key to avoid large drawdown or losing all capital- as then you are out of the business totally, and could no longer invest

    Diversification-“Don't put all your eggs in one basket.” The idea is that if one investment loses money, the other investments will make up for those losses

    Use spare cash to buy blue chip stock with dividend is safer & no need to worry too much when price drop. Buy shares in baby steps, not too much at one time.

    Go for long-term passive investing across an index instead of trying to achieve quick win through active management decision

    Buy mainly US and HK stocks for growth but the latter has been volatile. Buy SREITs mainly for dividends. Can just buy ETFs if dont have time or dont want to pick stocks

    Only pick companies which you think will still be around and growing well in 10 years time.. Never FOMO when buying and selling.. if you are doing short term trading.. understand technicals well

    every one knows buy low and sell high. but when is low and when is high?

    stick to a price target and execute it. dont feel sad or anguish if the price you sell goes higher.

    control your emotions.

    Buy only those stocks that give confidence. Don't dabble in those that u don't know what business they do eg. nowadays alot of empty shell companies-only exist on paper, has no office or employees

    I pick stocks based on 1) prices (risks) 2) yields % (4%+) 3) my pocket (holding power).
