This thread is mainly intended for those who have never invested, but they are interested or willing to invest. Here are 5 basic principles that novice investors should understand:
1. Your Financial Condition is Healthy
If your financial condition is healthy, it means that you have no debt, and can meet your daily needs by having savings, emergency funds etc.
1. Make sure your financial condition is "healthy"
A "healthy" financial condition can mean many things. But before starting to invest, it's good to make sure you are not in debt, smoothly paying credit card bills, have other savings, and of course: an emergency fund.
2. Choosing an investment instrument
There are many available investment instruments out there that you can choose from, choose the instrument that you understand best and have good knowledge of its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, profit levels. You can choose stocks based on mutual funds, because many people claim that mutual funds are investments with high profit potential. Of course there are many other alternatives you can also choose investments in Cryptocurrencies, stocks, bonds, property etc.
3. Diversification
Diversification is intended not to place all funds in one type of investment, placing investments in at least 3 different types of instruments (hedging). suppose you invest in 3 different types of stocks.
4. Increase Skills
Whatever type of investment you choose, be it stocks, cryptocurrencies, property etc, don't forget to always improve your skills and knowledge. There are many ways such as joining forums, seminars, and reading new articles frequently. Because investing is a long term, an investor must be able to think and predict.
5. Take an active role
Don't just stand still and wait for luck to come to you, but play an active role, because investors have to recalculate or predict every time there is new news related to your investment.
