90% of all stocks are owned by only 10% of the World. If you're interested in investing in the stock market, here are 6 popular strategies:
• Index Funds
• Value Stocks
• Growth Stocks
• Options Trading
• Dividend Investing
• Small-Cap Investing
🧵Let's discuss all 6:
Index funds can be bought and sold throughout the day, just like individual stocks.
Index funds can be a good way to gain exposure to a wide range of stocks without having to pick individual companies.
If you don't know where to start investing, buy an Index Fund that tracks the S&P 500 (such as $VOO).
On average, the S&P 500's has returned ~11% over the last 96 years, or ~1,300,000% since 1926.
Value investing is a strategy of buying stocks believed to be undervalued by the stock market
The goal is to find companies trading at a price lower than their intrinsic value, and hold onto these stocks until their value has been recognized by the stock market
Value investors look for companies that are trading at a discount to their peers, with strong fundamentals such as:
• healthy balance sheet
• steady earnings
• track record of growth
Long term, the market will recognize the value of these stocks and their prices will rise
Growth stocks are companies experiencing rapid growth as a result of new technologies or innovative products.
Growth investors pay a premium for stocks, with the expectation that these companies will continue to grow and their stock prices will increase over time.
Growth stocks are often younger, smaller companies in the early stages of their development.
Growth investors look for companies with strong fundamentals, such as:
• high sales and earnings growth
• innovative products or services
• a proven track record of growth
Stock options are a leveraged investment, which means that you can control a large number of shares with a relatively small amount of money.
Options trading is a way for investors to speculate on price movements. Options trading can be risky, so it may not be suitable for all.
Options trading is a type of investment strategy in which investors buy and sell contracts, based on underlying assets, such as stocks
There are two main types of stock options, call options and put options.
A call option gives the buyer the right to buy the underlying stock at a specific price, on or before the expiration date of the option.
A put option gives the buyer the right to sell the underlying stock, at a specific price on or before the expiration date.
With options trading, it's important to understand the risks before getting started.
When buying or selling options, investors need to consider factors such as the underlying stock's volatility, the option's expiration date, and the size of the option contract.
Dividend investing is a great strategy for those looking for a passive source of income or those seeking to grow their wealth over time.
Dividend stocks are stocks of companies that pay regular dividends to their shareholders, typically paid on a quarterly basis.
Small-cap companies are younger, smaller companies in the early stages of development, which offer investors the potential for high returns
Small-cap investing offers investors the potential for higher returns, but can be riskier than stocks of larger, more established companies
Historically, the stock market has delivered average annual returns of around 10% over the long term, which can lead to significant wealth creation for investors willing to take on the risks associated with investing in stocks.
The stock market can offer the potential for significant returns over the long term and can be a good way to save for long-term goals, such as retirement.
It is important to remember that investing carries some level of risk, and there is no guarantee of returns.
Stocks that create value, will increase in price over time.
