This is going to be interesting . . .
In reading what the Day 1 video is about, I saw the statement, "Stocks vs. gambling: Why it's NOT the same thing". I've always heard the stock market is a "casino". It will be interesting to see that from a different perspective.

@Jack Pombo Yes, it changed my perspective. As I see it, I'm buying a piece of a company, helping them to build their business. I do my homework to see if it is a good business to support. As a result of my work, I hopefully get paid for doing such work and for supporting the business, which is partially my company. If I just guess which way the price is going just to "get rich quick", then I'm gambling. I'm also going to lose money.

@Jack Pombo So there's hope for me!
I knew this would get interesting, and on the first day!
Well, I finished the first video in the Classroom "STOCKS FOR BEGINNERS". So if I buy a stock, I can say I'm a business owner, even though it's partial. Cool. At 2:15 I see the chart showing "Equity", another word for ownership. I think of my house that I "own" because I have no mortgage on it or lien. But since the government can take that property back if I don't pay "property taxes" (a fancy phrase for "rent"), I guess I only have an "Equitable interest" in my house. Boy, first day in this Community and it's already getting interesting!

@Jack Pombo Wonderful!
Why your Portfolio is a mirror of you..
A portfolio is much more than just a collection of stocks—it reflects the investor’s personality, risk tolerance, patience, and beliefs. How you manage your portfolio reveals whether you prioritize comfort, excitement, conviction, or safety. It acts as a mirror, exposing your strengths and weaknesses, and showing whether you invest with discipline or impulsiveness. Ultimately, the market rewards consistent behavior over mere analysis, so your portfolio tells the story not only of the businesses you own but also of who you are as an investor.

Well, my portfolio is empty, so I hope that isn't a reflection of me! 😄

@Jack Pombo Actually, I guess my empty portfolio DOES say something about me. It shows I haven't studied this subject and that I need to take action. It also shows I'm somewhat disciplined in that I haven't gone crazy and broke making risky trades or listening to someone who has "a hot tip"
Ai and investing
Hello everyone. I am curious as when I watch youtube videos about analyzing stocks, etc...I always get to see videos in my feed about Ai and investing. Can Ai be trusted with your investments strategies/analyzing? I am on the fence on this one to be honest with you. Now what does Ai care of i lose my shirt and pants all at the same time? It doesn't know unless I tell it "hey Ai you broke me". I'm curious of the reply would be " Ops, sorry. Maybe next time we do better?" I think my PC would be across the street right now on the curb, not even my curb. SO my question and you can use the poll is do you use Ai for your investing/trading? ANd if you do comment what Ai you use, and what you use it for? Thank for everyone that takes the poll. As you I am also here to learn.

@Jack Pombo As I study, I guess I will ask better questions.
Looks like fun!
I went over "START HERE" in the Classroom and this looks like an enjoyable endeavor to get involved in. I'm retired so I'm not like someone much younger than me who will have different goals, and in fact, I really don't know YET what my goals should be. It seems incredible that if I put in the work that I could "have a deep foundation in company analysis and valuation" for starters. Sounds exciting. I'm starting Day 1. Are the other 9 days going to be created @Jack Pombo
