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!

THE ONE THING NOT TO DO WHEN INVESTING IN STOCKS! $IONQ - $RGTI - $LAES - $BTQ - $OKLO - $JOBY - $ASTS - $NVDA - $NBIS - $IREN - $AMZN - $GLXY- $ALT - $TSLA - $SLS - $META - $PLTR - $AVGO- $CRWV- $MSTR- $COIN As Peter Lynch said: “Stocks are not lottery tickets.” “There is a company behind every stock.” “Trying to predict the market is a waste of time.” That advice is timeless- over the last year, new investors piled into hype themes: - Quantum: $IONQ, $RGTI, $LAES, $BTQ -Nuclear: $OKLO - Flying cars: $JOBY $ARCH - Strong risk‑on tilt: crypto/BTC proxies ( $IREN, $GLXY, $COIN, $MSTR, $IBIT + miners) and AI/infra momentum ( $AVGO, $CRWV, $PLTR). Some of these ran 1,000%–4,000% in a year - despite no profits, and in some cases barely any revenue - yet they’re valued in the billions. That’s not investing this is gambling on momentum, Here’s how the cycle usually works: - Story gets hot - Retail piles in - Funds and algos distribute into strength The fundamentals start to show (or the lack of), reality hits and Retail is left holding the bag! We’ve already seen 60 - 80% drawdowns in the last few months alone - and bubbles rarely stop there! The $SPY is less than 5% away from all time highs - if we get a correction these names will collapse even more! Keep it simple. Buy profitable, growing companies that generate real cash flow. That’s why I like companies like $META - it’s a compounding machine, not a hype stock based on the promise of some future breakthrough. Common Sense: 1. Don’t chase hype. 2. Stocks are not lottery tickets. 3. Own real businesses.

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!

MUST WATCH FOR EVERYONE IN THE STOCK MARKET! Retail investors will always be misled by hedge-fund billionaires. $IONQ, $RGTI, $OKLO, $JOBY, $IREN , $LAES , $BTC , $BTQ , $JOBY , $OPEN , $META , $NVDA , $GOOG This is why you should never rely on CNBC hedge-fund billionaires when they give highly public interviews to an audience of millions. At the very height of the stock market bubble for hype industries like Quantum / Nuclear / AI etc , Paul Tudor Jones went on Squawk Box claiming it “feels like 1999” and that the rally would continue through year-end. His Key Insights: - "The biggest winners are Gold and Bitcoin"... "there is a Morgan Stanley basket, that is a Retail flow basket that has all the meme stocks in it, it's up 67% or 68%" - "I'd want to have positions in all of that, FOR SURE" - referring to the meme-stock basket containing bubble names like $IONQ, $RGTI, $OKLO, $JOBY, $IREN, etc. - "What will be the winners, we have this race which is certainly to the end of the year" - "I'd want to have combination of Gold, Crypto, the Nasdaq, and whatever the fastest horse at this point in time probably has a good chance of having that on December 31" Summary: 1. He was telling retail investors to keep holding and buying the meme-stock craze, gold, and crypto. 2. Since that interview three weeks ago: - $BTC has dropped 50% - Popular retail-style meme stocks have dropped 50 to 70%+ (e.g., $IONQ, $RGTI, $BTW, $OKLO) 3. He effectively pumped these names to provide exit liquidity for institutions and Wall Street - the same pattern every time. 4. Never rely on interviews from hedge-fund CEOs or billionaires proclaiming broad market predictions like this. 5. They have their own motives. They are not looking out for your portfolio. 6. Do your own due diligence - see through the hype narrative being sold to you.
