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.

We just keep printing on the $OKLO short. Hope you were paying attention.Started building the position when it was an $18B company - completely detached from reality. Now down over 70% since October, and the short is up well over 100% after scaling in multiple times on the way down.Getting close to my $50 cover target… but honestly, there’s still more downside left.

Another awesome short. $OKLO now in the $50’s. Hope you listened. https://t.co/n5yHqEDVpZ

$OKLO Hope you listened. $OKLO has cratered ~71% from its ATH of $193 down to $55.58 overnight - after getting crushed 6.09% last Friday! I've steadily added to my short position in the $130–$150 zone and I am being rewarded. Still, it looks overvalued for a pre-revenue nuclear play in this macro. I'll cover around the $50 range - but it could go much lower. One of my best performing shorts along with Quantum.

Actually no … $OKLO is down another 3% today and $IONQ just went red too. He will lose millions more, this is how it always plays out over and over for Retail investors. They ride these hype stocks the whole way down continuing to add, praying they come back. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I I tried warning him back on November 13th - the same day he got wrecked for over $500k in a single session on his two massive positions in $IONQ and $OKLO. He didn't listen and continued to buy the dip. Since then: - $OKLO: down another 42% - $IONQ: down another 25% How many millions has he lost by now? Some people get so deep into the hype and echo-chamber narrative from certain X accounts that they refuse to accept the fundamentals.

$OKLO Hope you listened.$OKLO has cratered ~70% from its ATH of $193.84 down to around $60 today - and it's getting crushed over 7.3% today alone! I've steadily added to my short position in the $130–$150 zone and I am being rewarded. Still, it looks overvalued for a pre-revenue nuclear play in this macro. I'll cover around the $50 range.

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?

Your favorite X account might be getting paid to hype the stock they want you to buy. Analysts on live TV can’t even explain their own stock… let alone the nonsense “GURU X accounts” are telling you to buy. $IONQ $RGTI $QBTS $IREN $OKLO $INFQ $JOBY $NBIS Do your homework. Know what you’re buying!

$OKLO has completely unraveled from its all-time highs - peaking at $193.84 in October 2025 and now sitting at $63.31. That’s a ~67% collapse from the top - and down another 6.5% today. The nuclear hype trade - just like quantum - is running into reality. Valuations got way ahead of fundamentals, and now the air is coming out. I started adding to my short in the $130–$150 range and I’m looking to cover in the $50s. Narratives can take you up fast. Fundamentals bring you back down faster.

Remember this guy who was down a million in just one day when $IONQ and $OKLO dipped in October! Well since Oct 22nd, - $IONQ has lost almost half its value. - $OKLO, despite earlier huge runs in 2025, has also given back roughly half its peak value by mid-October! How many millions has he lost because he did not listen and continued to buy the dips on the way down?

If I made you money or saved you money - support the mission and subscribe to my my sub. It helps me out. $IONQ $RGTI $BTQ $OKLO $JOBY $SRPT $TLT I post my full portfolio, live trade alerts and answer DM's one on one. You also support the mission of bringing the truth to retail investors not just hype and a controlled narrative!

Since I posted this $OKLO has collapsed 55%. Their whole office is smaller than a Wendy's.

Hope you listened. $OKLO has cratered ~66% from its ATH of ~$193.84 down to $66.18 today. I've steadily added to to my short position in the $130–$150 zone and I am being rewarded. Still, it looks overvalued for a pre-revenue nuclear play in this macro. I'll cover around the $50 dollar range.

Hope you listened - since I posted this $OKLO has collapsed 45%.

Yes I am still short $OKLO .. I accumulated my short position in the $130 to $150 range. This will be one of my most profitable shorts. I will cover when it reaches the $50s. https://t.co/wJ5bKgzxqb

Today's a good day! Short's printing ( $IONQ $RGTI $JOBY $OKLO $BTQ ) 60% of my portfolio is in $TLT and https://t.co/U0FvaBHGMC https://t.co/1g0j5umhgW

I don’t like to see this. His two biggest positions $OKLO and $IONQ have collapsed. Down over $3.2 million dollars YTD. And that was two days ago - the stocks have dropped another 10 to 15% over the last two days on top of this. I warned him multiple times but he didn’t listen.

You better have listened! $OKLO has completely collapsed from its ATH highs. Peaked at $193.84 in October 2025 to now closed at $68.23 today. That's a 65% drop! And today alone? A Brutal -12.5% plunge. Nuclear hype (along with quantum) facing reality and fundamentals finally shining through. I think this goes lower, I will cover in the $50’s (I starting adding to my short in the $130 to $150 range).

Hope you listened! $OKlO $JOBY $IONQ $RGTI
