>>1549222>how do I actually make money with investments?very slowly.
you can't make fast gains without taking risk, and anyone promoting guaranteed money making schemes to you is either scamming you or a retard who was scammed themselves and actually believed it.
if you don't have some kind of actual advantage (insider knowledge etc, which is illegal insider trading btw unless you're rich enough), you don't have any better risk-reward balance then investing in boring index funds.
the key thing to keep in mind is that making money in the stock market isn't just about predicting what will go up and down, it's about prediciting it MORE ACCURATELY than whatever prediction the market (including billionaire hedge funds with way more info + pricing strategy than you) has already priced in. so just buying "good companies" that you think will continue to go well / go up is actually a retarded strategy since that success is already priced in.
read Bogle's book.
