How to Invest Your First $1,000 (Benjamin’s Story)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 авг 2024
- A few years ago, in a rural area in Mississippi, there was a hardworking young man named Benjamin. He and his younger sister lived with their mother, who worked two low-paying jobs just to put food on the table. Their small house was a sore sight. It had a roof that leaked, and mold on the walls. “What more could you wish for?”, they commonly joked. Benjamin´s dad had been a fisherman until he disappeared in a storm 5 years ago. His father´s death increased the pressure on Benjamin to provide for the family. So ever since, to his mother´s great worry, and besides attending school, Benjamin took his rusty bike to the harbour for some extra work on the fishing boats. On his way down there, he always passed through a nice neighbourhood with crisp white houses, nice cars on the driveways, and worriless children playing on the tidy lawns . One day, he would help his sister and mother to move there.
Benjamin´s mother wished for him and his sister to get an education, so they could have a better life than the one she had had. Benjamin was a bright kid, and he was soon to start community college. Before starting, he had been able to store away $1,000 from his spare-time job on the fishing boats. Benjamin was kinda proud of this achievement because he had read that he was already close to be in the top half in America! Having spoken to some of the adults in the rich neighbourhood on his way to the harbour, Benjamin had come to understand that one of the best ways to reliably make big money was through investing - and the earlier he started, the better apparently. Benjamin was determined to make his $1,000 grow to create a better life for his family.
Although he stumbled along the way like any 19-year-old would, Benjamin's persistence and willingness to learn, ultimately led him to create the foundation of his future fortune - a fortune which helped bring more happiness and joy to his family. This is the story of how a small sum of money sparked a journey towards financial success.

My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.
Benjamin, initially, was doing a little too much speculating, not investing.
No. He had no proper risk management.
It's uncanny how well this story summarizes my first "investments". I jumped in on the 2021 Crypto mining/hyper-growth stock hype trains and got burned pretty badly, but that led me to watching value investing channels like this. Keep up the great work, and just know you saved at least one person's bank account from going up in flames.
Glad to hear it renxiongmao! Cheers for the support!
Shame many dont bother learning about crypto as diligently as stocks, it's truly something you can sharpen just like investing knowledge.
You bought into the market at 2021 highs??? Lmao 😂
Like how do you even do that? I’ve never invested before or knew anything about these dumb ratios everyone talks about. I simply saw that good companies such as chevron and Boeing and other alike. Were at all time lows in 2020 and I doubled my money. It was only a little bit as I only put 6K into the market. I just don’t see how you or anyone would buy into the market at 2021 highs. All you had to do without being a investing guru. Is simply look at the 5 year chart on any stock and make a decision on what’s they’re actually worth. Sometimes investing is simply using common sense. I actually still use pre pandemic numbers to gauge a good buy in price for stock.
Well if we summarize about mine, im at summer vacation scene 😂
My favorite youtuber. You are explaining everything perfectly
your videos just keep getting better and better 🤩😍
There is an actual channel named Benjamin that has videos all about investing - it's fantastic, do recommend.
Rule 1: Don't be quick to follow the teachings of unreliable sources.
Rule 2: Don't let your emotions control your investments.
Rule 3: Never give up!
i mean you definitely have a crash on librarians, it’s mad hahah love your content, keep up the amazing content
To any new investor: There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying the index instead of individual stocks. They are a very good way to diversify without paying fees 50 times for 50 different stocks. 👍
I like the Gandalf reference.
Sell you fool!
Benjamin, should have bought puts on sky coin 😂
Love to all from Hellas 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Γεια σου αδερφε
I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks. I believe having 100k yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a Financial coach) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and loosing all the good opportunities.
Well as long as theyre making something, its better than nothing, you wont learn everything in one go, thats for geniuses far and few among us
Save up as much money as possible, the market will crash again between 2028-2032 *because the great reset is a real thing* then go on a buying spree buy and hold great companies and play long term leap options on the market ro recover ect.......thats the easiest way to invest 😌
Good luck!
They say time IN the market beats timing the market?
But when a stock market crash wipes out all your gains? Id rather time the market 😁
Look for opportunities like budlight and flash crashes while you wait for the big ones.
Great video as usual!
Can you plesse make more videos like this.
Benjamin is so lucky I can’t have alcohol until I’m 21
Hey Swedish investor how about a video on psychology of human misjudgements !! we would love to have it . Have seen almost all your videos and love it . Keep going
Hey gopalsubramanian7180! There's actually a part of that in my video called "Charlie Munger: Mental Models for the Rest of Your Life (PART 7)". But no full video yet!
@@TheSwedishInvestor Thanks again ! would be really great to have a dedicated 4 or 5 part series each having 4 - 5 psychological misjudgments though since i truly believe this to be invaluable and would be great if it is illustrated with at least two examples from each category !
Thats awesome story, I burned myself first when i was 18 yo and it was sad to see the stock drop 70%. I quit the investment world, but after a few years I did my research about dividend, stocks, indexes etc. Now after college since my first payday I have automatic transaction set up from paycheck account to investment account. I think most 9f us started this way
Lobe the videos ! ‼️
Buy properties to let and invest in stock which is best?
I really like the channel and it's a great joy to see the videos.
Only one exception. All those Warren Buffet quotes. Most of these quotes are only true with a lot of context and without this context they are either half the truth or wrong. I know, that people like idols and simplified things. But after hating me, I recommend to take some of this famous quotes and try to proof them.
( Disclaimer. I like the young Warren Buffett and I like Peter Lynch and Jessie Livermore)
Hey michaele.strasser9641, cheers for the feedback. I'm always thankful for it when it is constructive. I will make sure to keep your comment in mind.
@@TheSwedishInvestor Thanks for your answer. I am not a bad guy, but being diplomatic isn't one of my best skills.
Thank you very much
can anyone tell me whta is better investment banker or management consultant
Thank you for giving wisdom in such a fun way! Who are Your Simon, David and Peter?
Cheers udolflibert9235! There are some that I've listened to historically. For example, I like Geoff Ganon from Focused Compounding and Ola from Kvalitetsaktiepodden (Swedish guy).
When Buffet started to invest Index funds or ETF did not exist. But if you check his recent interviews he suggests investing there for retail investors.
Any comments on this?
Hey non7sens, great question! I think this ultimately depends on how much time you are willing to spend on this stuff. Investing can be truly profitable, and beating the indices with just a few percentage points does make a huge difference in the long run. With that said, everyone won't be able to beat them since the index represents the average, and of course everyone can't be better than the average (especially not after brokerage fees).
"sky ... con" ahaha
This reminds me of the fools in pay pal. Got in for peanuts, thing shot it to $300 plus a share, now it’s $62 or whatever, how do you hold on to that, with no data saying it will rebound. It baffles me to this day 😂
Great video but it doesn't really answer the question in the title
His fisherman father disappeared during a storm? On the Mississippi?
I am from India
Thanks for sharing a great story
Who is Benjamin? Where is he now?
Ben graham, was warrens mentor. He is the author of intelligent investor, a value investor, great man, in the world of finance. ❤
I am wrong, this Benjamin is just a random Benjamin, not Benjamin graham. Just a normal teen who worked to learn how to work money. 👍 hope this helps 👍
Video get cut early?
that guy looks like me :P
Is this theee Benjamin that shows what not to do with Robinhood and Wallstreet Bets from the Benjamin youtube channel? Because that guy surely knows how to make money now. lol
Good that Benjamin dost not like bitcoins any more. Bra jobbat. ❤❤
Benjamin going to lose a lot of money.
Good for others, it outperforms s&p500 rather regularly, many principles from forex and stocks can be transfered to crypto if you take a step back.
Making mistakes is just part of the process, but hopefully they were intelligent mistakes that just did not pan out. (Sometimes mistakes CAN work out favorably.) PS I had the high school exposure, where an economics teacher of mine would mention in the 2002 bear market somebody he knew found it disheartening ~10 or 11 straight down sessions in the market, at which point they threw in the towel. And of course the market began to rebound after that. Versus one really bad day after the market begins to rally is easy to shrug off that it was probably going to happen and nothing to worry about.
ok
"Investor is as investor does"

50k+, 2% not 20%
brother how did benjam learn from warren if warren much yonger than him
This isn’t a story of Benjamin Graham. Benjamin is just a fictional character he created.
I also thought this was about Ben Graham at the begining 😅
Haha, I might have made a mistake in naming the character Benjamin; sorry for the confusion. I'm surprised that it didn't occur to me while making the video, haha
Let me guess, Swedish. Benjamin was you. 🙏🏽
Nope, he is Simon :)
Definitely hoping to be a Simon! :)
💰
😮👍
The ending of the video is a bit wacky ngl
9th
Buy $1000 worth of Tesla stock.
And what would be the return in this investment if you don't mind me asking?
Think I've made $20 on a $1000 investing 2 years ago. Not so great. Microsoft on the other hand, that has been better 😂
