New to investing: How to get started? Any tips?

Hello, I’ve just opened my Pearler account and want to start investing with some of my savings, but I have zero knowledge about stocks. Where should I begin? Any tips for beginners or advice you wish you knew sooner? What should my short- and long-term learning path look like for success? Any YouTubers to recommend? Thanks!

Hello! It’s great to hear that you’ve opened a Pearler account and are ready to start your investment journey. Investing in the stock market can be a rewarding endeavor, but it’s important to start with a solid foundation of knowledge. Here are some tips and resources to help you begin:

  1. Educate Yourself: Before diving into stock investments, it’s crucial to understand the basics of the stock market, different types of stocks, and how they are traded. Books like «The Intelligent Investor» by Benjamin Graham and «A Random Walk Down Wall Street» by Burton Malkiel can provide a strong theoretical background.

  2. Set Investment Goals: Determine what you are investing for. Are you looking for short-term gains, or are you investing for the long haul, like retirement? Setting clear goals will help you decide how to structure your investment portfolio.

  3. Understand Risk Tolerance: Assess your risk tolerance. This will help you decide which stocks to invest in and how to balance your portfolio to manage potential losses against gains.

  4. Start Small: Since you’re new to investing, it might be wise to start small and gradually increase your investment as you gain more confidence and knowledge. Pearler’s Micro-investing platform is a great place to start. You can begin building your portfolio with as little as $5, which allows you to learn by doing without exposing yourself to significant financial risk.

  5. Diversify Your Investments: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversifying your portfolio across different sectors and asset classes can reduce risk and improve potential returns.

  6. Keep Learning: The investment world is constantly changing, and continuous learning is key. Consider following financial news and reading investment blogs and newsletters.

  7. YouTube Channels: There are many YouTubers
