Ending Q1 With $250,000 of Payouts | AMA
The goal for the year started at $100,000 in payouts which I finished this month. The new challenge for myself is $500,000 by the end of the year.
In the 1600s, the Dutch East India Company employed hundreds of ships to trade goods around the globe. In order to fund their voyages, the company turned to private citizens to invest money to support trips in exchange for a share of the profits. In doing so, they unknowingly invented the world’s first stock market. So how do companies and investors use the market today? Oliver Elfenbaum explains.

Thanks for keeping us financially educated, regardless of how bad it gets to the market, I still hit 120k last week. I hit my financial milestones without waiting for any government support. It's not luck it's intentional moves. While most are busy complaining, some of us are quietly building.

What’s your view on diversification vs focusing on a few strong positions?

Getting into the market and trading sounded simple at first, but once I got in, the price swings and mixed information made everything more confusing. I’ve tested several strategies,_ yet the results are just not there. Seeing others move ahead while I struggle has been frustrating. Has anyone actually worked with someone who guides you step by step instead of recycled content? I need real guidance...
@SamMacBainмайнинг кейсы реально раньше кормили а сейчас чет вайб сменился
@vladislavkonovalov4775Picking the best stocks requires a lot factors and seems daunting we ought to know. How does the stock market work? It's not hard don't over complicate it.. Having a good entry and exit strategy, alongside a cfp with a good trading system would put you through many day's of success
@susankaymackThe secret to long-term growth? Consistency + strategy. Crescitaly helps you master both. 📈
@Crescitaly_comGreat insight here
@Neural_Cap"Great explanation! I just started a channel breaking down finance basics too -- learning so much from creators like you ! "
@sreeluu-mStarting out in trading, and I've realized how important it is to have the right guidance. I'm really thankful for the support and insight l've gained from my mentor, ..it's made the learning process a lot smoother and more focused.
@mandyGreat-p1kIt depends if you get out early knowing what the market signals are. The best traders get out early, wait it out when the market is crashing. And get in when the market turns. You don’t want to to sit out in a 40 percent bear market because your stock portfolio could be 80-90 percent down. It also depends on the stocks you own. I’ve made 200% getting out early and pressing on the pedal when the market turns positive.

@LooryJhonsonGreat video—this really hit home. I’ve been learning about investing recently, and one thing that helped me was following people who explain things in a simple, realistic way. I came across someone named Emily Dorny and liked how she focuses on strategy and patience rather than hype.
@SandraEllynWow! 😳
@TheClarityEquationLoved the content, keep it coming!
@ClevelandHoff-l9t1eAmazing, I had no idea the stock market was so historically significant! The Dutch East India Company essentially created crowdfunding long before the internet came about. It's astonishing how we transitioned from vessels filled with spices to contemporary investing. Do you believe the stock market remains a viable method for accumulating wealth, or is it merely a pastime for the rich
@MariuszReelsReally insightful content, the way this topic is explained makes it easy to understand and stay engaged throughout 👍

@avinashmohite8532Please it's been unfavourable to me for months in trading and I keep losing my money selling-off during dips, I'm very scared of holding right now. How do you guys still make so many?
