The market more often than not acts completely irrationally to news about policy and financials. The kind of news you're better off keeping track of is what specialized goods or service a specific subset of an industry is looking for, then find a company that provides that good or service. It's important that the company has employees, makes money, and demonstrably does what they claim to do - there are hundreds of "companies" with 12 employees, zero revenue, and don't actually make anything. If you're lucky, you'll have invested in a company that scores a lucrative contract weeks or months before it's announced. If the company you picked was left out there's still a chance the entire sector gets a small bump from the hype. Alternatively don't sweat it and buy VOO. If you're feeling a tiny bit more adventurous buy a little SPMO on the side. --- http://i.imgur.com/szMsu.png Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible.

Would you consider the S&P to be a near guarantee (barring some catastrophic crash) for really long term investment? gona be honest, its what everyone says. I look at it this way, if SP crashes, that means legit civilization crashes, and at that point what would money actually mean? the question is is crypto or bitcoin "sustainable" that more interesting question, i think putting money in bitcoin isn't as risky as it was 10years ago it see,s i dont have crypto aka when I say that bitcoin but i wish I got in early. i think bitcoin seems to be here to "stay" as well. although the goalpost of early crypto thinking and nowadays is complete 180 when it first started it was talked about the backup play FOR WHEN the market crashes, now I thkn the two are completely jointed at the hip now. unlike 8 years ago --- squaresoft NEVER FORGET NBA <cite>ryudo500 posted [p:985879563] in AMA: Stock...
