Results From Black Friday - 11.23.18 Hopefully, everyone has a great Thanksgiving and if you don't celebrate that, hopefully, you had a great Thursdays. Today is Black Friday and I was interested in are how it would affect the market. Strangely enough, it was a smaller gain/loss than I was expecting. I figured it would have a large effect but it really didn't do anything too surprising. I should probably count my blessings on this though considering I only had one positive day this week. An interesting note, look how my M1 Finance went positive compared to other assets. I'm thinking diversifying in Aerospace really makes that difference and is a great visual as to why different sectors perform differently each day. Acorns M1 Finance Fidelity Go Bumped
Are You Still Lost On What Investing Is? Don't be scared because a lot of people are in this same boat, especially the younger generation. Investing is when you utilize the stock market to financially benefit you. Investing and trading are very different if you ask me, and when most people think of investing they get the picture of Wall Street and everyone acting hectic. I consider that to be "trading" and that is a lot different than investing. Trading involves stock and is something that must be actively watched day-to-day. Investing, to me, is something that is done for a long-term goal that you have in mind. This is usually many years out - think retirement - and is usually done in the hopes that the money made from investing will help you achieve something in the future. I have said it once before and I will say it again. I am no expert on investing and I am not here to give you some super secret insight on how to make a long of money on the stock mark...
Results From Thursday - 11.15.18 An up day for Acorns and M1 Finance. Notice how Fidelity Go is down a bit though. This is a good example of how different investments behave differently each day. Overall I'm pleased with the day. I'm hoping we can finish the week on a positive note tomorrow. Acorns ME Finance Fidelity Go Bumped
