    We need this conversation now more than ever. The language of money creates a sense of not belonging, it creates a divide. There’s a need for more simple, plain language in the industry to make financial literacy accessible to all. Great talk!

    *2). It doesn't have to be full time - **9:46**,*
    *( **10:07** )*
    *3). It is a skill you can learn - **10:38**, **10:54*

    Save yourself 13 minutes.
    Point 1 school fails to educate people on real world problems.
    Point 2. Big wins don't happen over night take that steak and enjoy it.
    Point 3 Making money isn't like building a house , blueprints just aren't available
    Point 4 trading on the stock market doesn't take that much time.
    Point 5 switching to Geico can save you 15% or more

    3)Invest in diverse mutual funds not single stocks.
    4)Be patient, this is going to take time
    5)Look around when you're 50 something and notice you've got a house and cars that are all paid for, a nice chunk of liquid capital to cover emergencies, a fun fund and a nice term life policy to cover the unthinkable.

    Everyone who has been trading on the stock market since 2009 looks like a genius because it has risen at record rates for the last 8 years, largely because the Fed has been giving bankers almost free money. Someone needs to do a talk about how to protect yourself from the next economic down turn.

    I share her view on avoiding all or nothing schemes. However I think she idolizes life as a "trader", not many people can live of it unless they got lucky/inherited or something. And what she will never know: If she spent the same about of time learning a profitable skill that the time she spent on "money making", maybe she would have made more money by now AND felt more satisfied about being useful to others. At least that would be the case statistically for more people than not. In the aftermath of the Icelandic financial crisis ten years ago there was a healthy discussion about whether it was wise for a country that its smartest youths educated themselves for "money making" working in financial institutions instead of engineering, medicine and such. Let money be a bi-product of success, not the other way around.

      Tenzin Tendar - do it as a side hustle and it will take take less than an hour a day. Identify 5 volatile stocks - that move up or down frequently within a .50 to $1 in the $13 to $30 per share range. With 100 shares, you can easily make $100 per buy/sell in a short period of time - sometime it's as little as 24 hours. Look for a stock that's moves up and down frequently in a days time but remains relatively stable over a longer period.

    Thank you for the great information. School hasn't been targeted to drive children towards success. It is more accurately driven children to conformity in society. Very rarely does a school with class sizes of 20+ have the resources to teach 20 different learning styles and avenues for financial success, unless people want to pay a lot more in taxes/tuition. This has, and for the foreseeable future, will land on the parents' plate of responsibility. It is one reason why the wealthy get wealthier and the poor stay poor. I only learned about wealth because my father was a real estate agent and worked for wealthy people. I continued my own education by taking Finance in college. It takes a lot to learn how to make money and how to make your money make money. The stock market is one way for sure, but there are others that aren't even touched on in the talk (real estate, business investment, micro loans, etc.).

    I'm a Candian born man and I immigrated to the United States by a career / job, Presently Living on the west coast USA the richest capitalist country in the world. I had a psychological block about investing and trading perhaps because I lost a lot of money in the crash of 2008, just because I parked my money in mutual funds without protecting my money.. Now, I am starting to rethink about becoming a trader/ short term investor. I am retiring soon ,but I don't have a private pension, only the gov't tax deferred savings plan. Now, I am more accepting of investing and trading my money and about removing my psychological block. And with the right positive mindset and practical skills of a trader, I believe I can make my 💰 money grow! And anyone can! P.S. You might know Teresa Lo, she was a successful trader in Vancouver.

    Agreed. Just because you make profits doesn't mean you should go buy coffee or go out to dinner. According to more experienced money mangers you should budget your spending and investing. Investing monies are for investing. Re-invest your profits and continue growing your holdings. That disposable income is for coffee and dinners at the restaurants. However, once that money is exhausted, one must wait til the next month or replenishment of those funds.

It's like you can't be your own lawyer because the system is setup that way as to complicate every little thing. But it doesn't have to be that way. That's the message. I felt it was more directed at women, especially the ones that stay at home with their kids. It spoke to me.

    Even the word "trading" sums-up fast-paced moves, blips and bloops, fast ups and downs. Making 10 percent in one day and so on. Making 10 percent a year is a very good return, for the most part, better than just about any bank or bond right now. The benchmark we should use when investing/trading/ect is what are banks paying in interest?? What is the regular stock averages doing and what are bonds doing??? If we can beat those rates with our own stock moves, then we are beating "the market." But then again, if we take a loss, we might be able to shrug it off especially if we are in the game; but a friend who isn't used to the moves of stocks hears about the loss and they freak out, afraid of ever investing or trading because they don't want to lose any money at all. "If you can't accept losing, you can't win." Vince Lombardi--a wise sage.

    Being successful and being confident is not the same notion. When parents don't teach children how to manage time and money, the parenting is in a big question. Doomed for unsuccessful and unconfident kids. More importantly, parents need to teach themselves and children why money is needed to make things go around more smoothly than without. The reasons and motives must be right, foremost.

    Investing in IPO’s is one way in which investors can grow their money well.
    For instance when Amazon floated an IPO, each share was priced at $18. It currently
    Trades at $3100.

    When the guy with the $5000 asked her how to double his money, she should have said for him to find a stock, ETF, or mutual fund that has an average annualized rate of return of at least 10% over the last 40 years, then put his money in that and wait for 7 years (less if he is reinvesting dividends, and even less still if he is putting in additional capital over time). That nonsense about not worrying about double ones money and just going out to eat with the family instead of worrying about making money in that situation made me want to scream!

    Must have a balance between living frugally, investing safely for retirement [A, B, or C funds for instance...and how to recognize signs it’s time to switch from one to the other], simple savings, careful spending, avoiding using credit as much as possible. And nope...not one thing about this was learned in school, and very very little from parent units.
    She said kids need to learn compare/contrast, and discernment...kids sure do need that! Kids also need to learn real math, real grammar, real spelling, real punctuation, how to write a check, balance a checkbook, real-world applications for the core courses kids need to be really learning in school.
    That doesn’t appear to be happening much. She’s right...most average people could do all that, IF they had information HOW.
    Real problems can happen though, if politicians get away with destroying Social Security, expecting people to survive into old-age, cut-off from the established Social Security system, to fend for themselves, without that knowledge and ability to use it for a lifetime....the knowledge and practice needs to come FIRST. The real problem with Social Security and Medicare is that gov’t has been pilfering the funds for years, and failing to replace them; now it’s dwindled to dangerous lows, such that it’ll take some miracles to restore....that’s likely the real reason for some pushing for “privatization”. Privatization has consistently failed to provide better service or lower prices, on every system it’s been done to.
    Every time I see “Privatization” I think, “Profiteering at everyone’s expense”.
    Savings and investing guidance needs to start as soon as a kid has an allowance, in small ways to start, so they can get a taste for it, and learn how to do it fairly safely/conservatively, and only using finds they can afford to lose, on riskier investments. Common sense.

      I believe that dispelling the myths that we have culturally propelled around making money is relevant to all of us. Developing the skill of making money is a great idea - one doesn't need to be on Wall Street to trade or learn how to invest. What do you do to help the next generation (or any generation) learn how to make money?

    This really seems akin to having a small-sum lottery winner on to talk about how to make money buying lottery tickets. Once you win just spend your earnings it's so great! She's benefited from trading in a bull market (long period of steady growth), but her only real information is to improve your financial literacy. Look pretty much anywhere else and you will find basically three tips:
    1. Track and control your expenses (i.e. don't live beyond your means, and avoid lifestyle creep)
    2. Pay yourself first (i.e. put a set % of earnings into savings / diversified investments)
    3. Diversify your assets (i.e. Split your investments across different sectors/markets/etfs/etc...)
    Of course all those apply to a passive investor, but I think that's who she's trying to target with this speech, people with relatively low financial literacy. For anyone trying to become an active investor (i.e. day-traders) there are way better resources out there.

    telling investors to sell as soon as they make a little profit and use the money to take their family on vacation is TERRIBLE advice. Keep the money invested, you future self will be thankful. Constantly buying and selling comes with so much friction cost. If you want to take a vacation save for it in your checking account then pay for it in full without using a credit card.

      LOL. We make money if the market goes up or down. It is simple and easy. Just no one teaches the public how. After all, the ones in the know do not want the others to know what they do. Like most things in life. Fortunes are made when a market crashes and then again when it starts to recover. Even through 2008, 2009, 2010. Knowledge is power.She will be just fine when the market does its next correction no matter how big or small it is.

    Risk 1% on a trade to make 3%. Look for the trading patterns like iron condor to know when to start the trade. Set the stop loss so you lose the 1% or trade out at 3% gain. Its that easy.

      Her point was that the educational system does not teach us about money, and investment advisors teach us to save and be frugal (budget). She did not learn to "make "money until after her second child was born. Her talk is a call to make yourself financially literate, to "make" money vs. save and be in a constant state of self denial.
      At 1% interest, your bank account will double in 72 years. This is called the rule of 72. at 10% interest, it will double in 7 years. If you are not financially literate, the only way you "make" money is to constantly add to your investments. If you invest more aggressively, your money can grow on it's own, and throw off income that can buy you coffee - and more. FYI: I am an active investor and invest in dividend and growth stocks.

    • @achenkin
      @achenkin 6 лет назад +2

      Money is both an asset and a tool. Becoming literate about money is to learn everything you can about saving, earning, and using money to achieve your goals. Listen to Radio shows like Dave Ramsey, Books by Suzie Orman, and talk to financial professionals - not insurance salesman, but accountants, lawyers, and Certified financial planners, BEFORE you make any financial moves. If your kids have an inheritance, they need to seek out professionals and learn what options they have, liquidating it, renting it, tax consequences, etc. If they turn it into cash, they need to learn how it can be an income they won't outgrow. Best of luck.

      Well said, many people i believe are expecting some magic way of making money (like the lotto) and they are disappointed when they listen to the talk, this is a pragmatic system of working the stock market, and as such I think it has worth. It may not be the way that people like to play the stock market but it is one way, and can be successful. Giving money to stock brokers and hoping for the best is not the most prudent method of managing your money imho,

      actually, if you're a newbie, don't do trading at all. the AI's will pummel you to the ground. What these snake oil salesmen will sell to you are auto traders which are in no way fit to battle the AIs of super corporations. You will absolutely lose money trying to "day trade." You don't have the knowledge, and even when you do, you can't trade in split-second instances like the AIs. It's like going to a casino. In the long run, the house always wins.

    Totally agree that financial education is needed in the mandatory school program anywhere in the world. Although we all know why it isn´t.... It´s not good for some that everyone knows how markets and entrepreneurship works. I think one important thing she forgot to mention is tha society bias where it is belief that people which want to make money are bad people. It´s crazy the amount of people that frawn upon the ones that have the financial wealth ambition! It would also have been nice if she had explained if she was a day trader, swing trader or more long term investments. Because it is totally possible to double your money. I mean the money you invest, which I hope are not your life savings..The timeframe and the asset class is the important question for how to try to double it. Look at the FANG, in each of them, invested in the right time you could have doubled your money... Look at crypto.
