Always make sure to do your own research beforehand.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">One key element is understanding where the business makes the most money. \ud83d\udcb0 For example, do you know Amazon\u2019s main revenue driver? You should also think about the company&#8217;s future! A company may look interesting now, but will it still make profits in 10 years? \u23f3 Once you feel confident that a stock is both likely to increase in value and also matches your beliefs, feel free to invest away.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\ude45\u200d\u2640\ufe0f\u00a0DON\u2019T let your emotions interfere!<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">Investing should be done on a rational basis. As people, we\u2019re emotionally driven, \u2764\ufe0f and while emotions help us make decisions, they should not play a part in deciding to invest in a company or not. You may be extremely excited about a company, but if it has bad financials, it may face bankruptcy.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">One good example is FOMO (= in the sense of investing). \ud83e\udd11 Many investors tend to sell their stocks as soon as they have made a good return, but, it would probably be more profitable for them to hold on to such good investments even longer!<\/p><p><a class=\"magnific fr-fic fr-dib lightbox-image-container\" href=\"https:\/\/media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net\/asset\/26658549\/giphy1.gif?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&amp;auto=format\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib attachment aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net\/asset\/26658549\/giphy1.gif?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&amp;auto=format&amp;w=1400&amp;h=1400&amp;fit=max&amp;impolicy=ResizeCrop&amp;constraint=downsize&amp;aspect=fit\" alt=\"Invest for the long term\" width=\"300\" height=\"338\" data-asset-id=\"26658549\" data-original-image=\"https:\/\/media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net\/asset\/26658549\/giphy1.gif?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&amp;auto=format\" \/><\/a><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">FOMO works the other way around, too: Many investors tend to hold on to their bad investments forever instead of selling as soon as their performance deteriorates. \ud83d\udcc9 Investing in better stocks would then be an option instead.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\">\u2714\ufe0f DO make sure your portfolio is diversified!<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">Many investors choose to diversify their portfolios since it allows them to minimize the company-specific risk and therefore the overall risk of their portfolio. \ud83d\udcbc However, you should not think that simply by buying different assets classes, you will be making your portfolio bulletproof against any downturns.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Holding different stocks may protect you from one company&#8217;s stock decreasing but not if the whole stock market decreases. Bonds, for example, are a good diversifier if the interest rates go up (bonds value increase, stocks decrease) \u2013 but what if there\u2019s a financial crisis? \ud83e\udd2f You can add many more asset classes such as real estate, art, crypto assets, and many more. \ud83d\uddbc The risk of a decrease in value of your portfolio will thus minimize (but never be at zero!).<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\ude45\u200d\u2642\ufe0f DON\u2019T attempt to time the market!<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">It sounds like the easiest play: When the stock prices within a certain sector or even for the market in its entirety are low, and you have a good gut feeling about future prospects of a company, you want to buy its stock now before the price increases. Meaning you\u2019ll make a big profit. \ud83d\udcb8\ud83d\ude07<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Yet, you might want to take another moment to think it over! \u270b Market trends can be extremely hard to predict and depend on numerous factors such as the emergence of a new technology, a change in the regulatory environment amongst other policy changes. \ud83d\udcdd<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">To make things even more complicated, there are unprecedented events that are impossible to forecast. For example, think of Christiano Ronaldo moving his coke bottle out of the picture during a press meeting at the 2020 Euro Football Championships \u26bd\ufe0f \u2013 the market value of the Coca-Cola stock decreased by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cristiano-ronaldo-coca-cola-market-value-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>$4 billion<\/u><\/a>!<\/p><p><a class=\"magnific fr-fic fr-dib lightbox-image-container\" href=\"https:\/\/media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net\/asset\/26658669\/giphy2.gif?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&amp;auto=format\" data-effect=\"mfp-zoom-in\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib attachment aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net\/asset\/26658669\/giphy2.gif?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&amp;auto=format&amp;w=1400&amp;h=1400&amp;fit=max&amp;impolicy=ResizeCrop&amp;constraint=downsize&amp;aspect=fit\" alt=\"impact investing\" width=\"432\" height=\"284\" data-asset-id=\"26658669\" data-original-image=\"https:\/\/media1-production-mightynetworks.imgix.net\/asset\/26658669\/giphy2.gif?ixlib=rails-0.3.0&amp;auto=format\" \/><\/a><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">Historically, the market is likely to increase over time \u2013 it\u2019s just a matter of time. \u23f0 Up until now, every market index has recovered from its many falls. So make sure to stick to your financial goals! Impact investing is a long-term strategy rather than short-term trading, and that\u2019s why attempting to time the market might be hurtful. \ud83d\udc94<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\ude45\u200d\u2640\ufe0f DON\u2019T excessively check your investments!<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">Imagine you\u2019ve just bought a new stock from a business you\u2019ve been excited about for a while and finally made a decision to invest in \u2013 it\u2019s tempting to check in every couple of minutes to see how it\u2019s doing. \ud83d\udc40 Don\u2019t drive yourself crazy and start doubting if the stocks decrease a bit after you bought it, though! You are investing with long-term goals, and your investments are likely to increase in the long run. It\u2019s all about patience! \u270c\ufe0f Whereas the market might fluctuate, you will see the growth of your investment in the long run.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\">All in all &#8230;<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">Be aware of your own biases, try to follow some of the above advice, and allow yourself to trust in your own analysis and research \u2013 that already makes you a better investor! \ud83e\udd32\ud83c\udf0d So what are you waiting for?
