6 Beginner Investing Mistakes To Avoid In The Stock Market! 66% of ETF investors started just in the past five years according to Charles Schwab. With posts everywhere on X on WSB about going "ALL IN" on single stocks like $IREN, $IONQ, $FIG, $JOBY, and $OKLO where some made money before the hype but most broke even or lost, beginners should avoid the frenzy and focus on basics. I lost on Ethereum early on in my 20's and learnt from that lesson - avoid these 6 mistakes and you will reach financial freedom! 1. Not Doing Your Own Research - Don't buy based on tips. Look into the company's financials, using sites like Reuters, the companies own financial SEC submissions and even YouTube channels. - Check leadership, growth, valuation, cash, debt, insider sales etc. the basics! - Form your own view. 2. Wrong Strategy - Trading is like short-term gambling, with 90% losing. - Investing is about long-term growth. - Avoid quick profits and higher taxes, let compounding work! 3. Unrealistic Expectations - No quick riches, it takes time. - It took me 10 years to go from in debt at 24 to officially becoming a millionaire last year at 34. 4. Emotional Attachment - I got attached to a bank stock too long due to sentiment and lost 70% - always have an exit plan. - If your original thesis for investing changes get out. 5. Following Experts Blindly - Pundits on X or otherwise often guess or worse are paid to hype stocks. (see video below) - Be skeptical! 6. No Diversification - Putting everything in one stock is stupid, and worryingly its becoming more and more common - Use index funds like $VTSAX or $VTI - Buffett-approved, with 7-12% average returns and low fees. Get started - financial freedom is waiting for you!

RETAIL IS GETTING MASSACRED - AGAIN! $OKLO $IONQ $RGTI $FIG $IREN $JOBY down 50-80% from the 2025 hype peaks! Jobs weakening. Consumer sentiment crushed. Credit delinquencies exploding. Housing market stalled and Now the Freight Index just crashed to 2009 GFC levels. Meanwhile my $TLT bonds are +3.2% YTD plus dividends BEATING the $SPY which is flat. I’ve been screaming for months: 2026 = YEAR OF THE BOND I’m all-in. Are you still bag-holding these memes hoping for a recovery or finally waking up? SMART MONEY IS EXITING WHILE RETAIL CONTINUES TO BUY - DON'T BE THEIR EXIT LIQUIDITY! Common Sense Investing Pays!

Another “I went all in” post on WSB… this is getting out of hand. Throwing around “all in” like it’s a badge of honor -without context - is how people have and will always get wrecked.! And yes, I’ll say it: @kevinxu’s constant “ALL IN” posts on $FIG and $IREN is part of the problem, especially when the fine print is that it’s 1% (or less) of his net worth. Common sense and position size matters!

HIGH RISK = HIGH REWARD? $IREN $FIG That's straight bullshit! It's how you blow up accounts and end up with zero. You're lying to yourself if you think otherwise. This doesn't mean skip bold plays -you SHOULD take calculated shots. But ONLY when timing and position sizing make sense. Never go all-in on hype, an urge, or FOMO. Protect the downside. ALWAYS. When you're winning? Everyone cheers, rides the wave, tags you as a genius. When it flips? Crickets - people ghost losers fast. Before YOLOing into any stock (looking at you @kevinxu , $FIG all-in at $36.74 now sitting ~30% underwater with shares worth way less). Ask yourself: If this drops another 50%, can I really cope with that? Do not play with house money! Minimize ruin - survive to win long term and let compounding work. Investing should be based on common sense - not gambling.

有龙气 $FIG

Is this guy @kevinxu calling me out - when even with the after hours bump FIGMA $FIG is still ~30% underwater from his "ALL IN POSITION" - really Kevin? Anyhow I thought you went all in on $IREN? https://t.co/FmjkKiE3Q5
