Final Note:
At the end of the day, investing is a journey. It comes with risks, rewards, lessons, and sometimes losses. Just make sure you’re informed and intentional. That way, whether it works out or not, you’ll know you moved smart.
Thank you OP for the insight you share regarding the basics of investment, which actually seem quite trivial, but actually this is a very important initial foundation to know for everyone who is new to investing and wants to start investing. Many people are quite lazy about learning the basics related to investment. Which makes it easier for many novice investors to experience losses.
Addition from me is that there are a lot of scams under the guise of investment nowadays. And indeed this is where it is important to recognize each investment instrument that we want to enter well. So that we can avoid all forms of fraud in the name of investment.
Better late than never in investing because it is important for the future. And it's better to be slow but consistent than to be hasty but inconsistent.
