First, there’s ALWAYS going to be a reason not to invest.
When I first started buying real estate in 2011, for example…the overall housing market had ALREADY declined 50%, and I was buying properties for less than 20% of their appraised value just a few years prior….BUT, I was told that I should wait a little longer, because “Shadow Inventory” was about to be unleashed on the market - but, guess what? That shadow inventory never came, the housing market started to recover, and I’m glad I didn’t listen to them.
Second, Investing Isn’t A Game.
I hate to say it, but - unless you’re a personal finance nerd who has fun tracking their expenses on Mint.com to see how much money you can save… investing is BORING. At a certain point, you have to remember: if you are trying to BEAT THE MARKET AVERAGE…you’re either taking a carefully crafted risk…or, you’re gambling.
Third, overconfidence will DESTROY your portfolio.
From everything I have ever witnessed…the MOMENT you think you’re smarter than the market and have it “all figured out”…you’ve lost. Because of that, it’s best to recognize that…the LESS YOU KNOW, the BETTER YOU WILL DO…because, you won’t overcomplicate the process or take necessary risk.
Fourth, a market drop is PROBABLY going to be worse than you expect.
GENERALLY…the market bottom takes place at absolute investor capitulation, when all faith is lost, and people think the economy is forever finished. This was the case back in 2020, in 2010, and…I’m sure, 2001…even though I was too young to remember. Every generation will have its own “this time is different” moment that comes out of nowhere…and, it’s important to REALIZE that something can always get worse than you expect.
And fifth, good financial habits should be practiced in BOTH GOOD AND BAD MARKETS.
Even though now is a pretty good time to work some extra hours, cut back on unnecessary spending, hone your skills, and take on a side hustle…ideally, you should ALWAYS be doing that and making the most of your time, regardless of how the stock market trades.
Plus, sixth…it was found that “Half of the S&P 500 Index’s strongest days in the last 20 years occurred during a bear market, and another 34% of the market’s best days took place in the first two months of a bull market—before it was clear a bull market had begun.”
This is important because, if you just missed out on the the top 10 strongest days over 5 years…your overall return drops from 15%…to 3.75%…especially when the BEST DAYS come right after THE WORST.

thanks for these videos . you are super clever .
Hello Graham! Tried to find the telegram but there’s a lot of fake accounts. If possible this is mine @MattBell305
is this the first ever video where you DIDN"T ask us to smash the like button?
BIG INSTITUTIONS creating fear when market crashed, retail investors are panic selling then go Short/dammy, the big boys safely buy companies at discount prices. And they do the opposite when market is way up. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
Without understanding the ‘Great Reset’ and the WEF’s ‘Agenda 2030’ you’re missing the boat.
The stock market has been a really tough one this past year, but I watched an interview on CNBC where the anchor kept mentioning " TERESA JENSEN WHITE ". This prompted me to get in touch with her, and from March 2022 till now we have been working together, and I can now boast of $540,000 in my trading portfolio.
🤣🤣🤣
I have some advise. Do nothing in you're 100% bought in. If you got liquidity, hang on to it for signs of buying more. Harder the fall, stronger the bounce.
I just read the writing on the wall.
If the news is warning you of a coming market or recession it’s not gonna happen 😂…..it’s like the thief telling his victim his gonna steal from him soon before doing it lmao
Great video!
How did it only take 4.5 years after 1929 to break even if you account deflation and dividends? Don’t get that part. Seems to me that it would take 25 years for prices to be the same. Need some help 🙂
Fire place in summer? you in LA
Hey Graham, I respect what you do and love the channel. Wondering if you can detail some of your past bad investments and hard learning curves? Any advice as we all swallow the losses this market has served up would be awesome.
Rather worthless message going on here, what use full information was there other than, "Keep on Keeping on" Don't panic, nuff said
Honestly last year i thought Graham was silly & way to cautious. Boiiiii let me tell you how wrong i was. Ive switched to his DCA style strategy and its actually fun. I look forward to buying my X amount of shares every week. Absolute legend, and congrats on the engagement.
Then they did the hamp program. The banks got nailed out and you still have to pay back your mortgage. Nice. We are still trying to recover being retired.
any one heard this before: I put my stop loss where I should've bought…
I literally couldn't pay attention to the message because you were waving your hands around so much.
It's probably the gay nerd boy in me but I'd like to see Graham do an "ONLYFANS"
Well said Graham!
You!!!! Are the voice of reason!! Thanks, Graham!
Jokes on you for assuming I have any money to lose
But I was told that the great reset is good for us
This one is not hard to predict at all
The easiest way to not lose money is to do whdo what i do…. be broke lol
Stock wont go back up until the elected democrats are out of power. They are causing this and Biden is just the face. Pelosi, Clinton and Obama are the heavy hitters.
