Its been a long time coming but ppl have been hitting me up to post this for some time now. This thread is dedicated to the art of investing & will teach u HOW TO INVEST (properly). This isnt gonna be some b/s technical pseudo science - this thread is about investing. Most of the shit u see or hear about is speculating but wat im gonna show u is how to take the craft & develop the knowledge and skills to be able to obtain successful returns.
I tried to simplify this to the best of my abilities so i hope yall can comprehend the format & criteria. All of this was taken from Ben Graham's masterpiece The Intelligent Investor & his disciple Christopher H. Brown's "Little Book of Value Investing" & oversimplified where applicable. I hope u all pay attention to these principles..... because you gotta understand... millions & billions of people invest their money & most aren't successful at it but on WallStreet they pay A LOOOT of money to cats who can successfully allocate capital. The highest paid fund managers do NOT even beat the S&P500 index & get paid well... now imagine a dude who can beat the market ? This is an important trait to learn. You can read a ton of books on what stocks, bonds & other financial instruments are but it means fuck all if you can't apply it successfully.
I will be editing this thread & constantly adding to it so stay tuned....
Below are the topics I will touch on & expand upon. After reading this you should be somewhat of an amateur - and you can go pro if you read Ben Graham's The Intelligent Investor book.
