Is 2025 your first year investing?

Here are 7 principles new investors fail to understand:

1 - Never Interrupt Compounding

Investor returns thrive on the compound effect.

You're not getting anywhere if you’re buying and selling after every news headline.

Pick stocks with timeless principles and hold them for decades.

2 - Save Before Investing

Investing is heavily romanticized in our culture.

Everyone wants to start investing immediately to see returns.

However, the truth is you NEED to save before you invest.

Otherwise, you’ll have no money to invest in the first place.

Dollar-cost averaging a percentage of your paycheck is great.

But having a piggy bank to funds whenever there’s an opportunity is ideal.

3 - Devil’s Advocate

Play Devil’s Advocate every time you’re making an investment decision.

That forces you to think critically and avoid confirmation bias.

We naturally seek information that supports our beliefs.

Don’t let this happen to you.

4 - Fight The Fed

There’s a saying that you should follow the Federal Reserve's policies as an investor.

Ex: When the Fed cuts rates, buy stocks, when the Fed hikes rates, you should sell.

I’d argue that with the correct time horizon, the Fed's policies aren’t important.

Regardless of the Fed’s actions, stocks will rise in the long run.

Just buy great companies, and you’ll be fine.

5 - Expect Crashes

If you’re a long-term investor, a 30% crash is something to expect in your career.

Mentally preparing for it now will keep your hands steady and prevent you from panic selling.

Always expect the unexpected.

6 - Signals & Noise

Learn to distinguish between signals and noise in the market.

Signals are relevant and meaningful pieces of info to help you make informed investment decisions.

Noise is unverified speculation or exaggerated headlines that cloud your judgment.

7 - Volatility

Depending on your risk tolerance, don’t be afraid of market volatility.

Volatile investments have the highest potential for returns.

Volatile stocks have entire financial products built around them.

Such as call-and-put options, leveraged ETFs, etc.

Thanks for reading!

Investing is the only career path where you can directly monetize your thoughts.

So, make sure to educate yourself before getting started.

Then, reap the rewards for decades to come.
