IMO- I think it boils down to time spent and being active. By being active I don’t mean buying and selling constantly - just being aware. Reading investor reports, learning specific industries (what interest you?), learning how to value a company and their metrics (mkt cap/EPS, P/E)

Buy some stocks and start watching the market. Compare similar stocks. Look at past charts and historical prices.

You just start being active.
It comes with time.

Read How to make money in stocks. One of is not the best book on the stock market.

The more experience you gain will tell you not to do it . Find yourself a nice index fund and ride the waves

go get your CFP 🙌

Buy the s&p 500 index with whatever you feel comfortable learning with. Don’t trade just hold, It’ll incentivize you to learn me. Read books avoid hype and think for yourself.

YOLO some 0dte options for a while

lol do NOT do that

Be a fundamental investor. Meaning look and learn about companies fundamenta numbers like cash flow, margins, debt, etc. For the most part if you see that theyre positive and in an upward trend then its a decent company to invest in for the long run. Once you learn the fundamentals then move into options for more income or riskier equities. Most platforms dont have these information readily available but I’ve been trying out Ainvest and it has it. Free to use as well.

The only way to learn is to invest a little money and see for yourself.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢
