I learned that if you wasted your money on one industry you would lose your money. From this experience I do not feel comfortable to invest my own money in the stock market. You are basically betting you money on something unimportant and useless.
I usually do not take risk. I believe that people who take risk have given up on life and have no desire to live. I do not understand the point of buying stock. If you want to deserve being rich get a good education and actually be someone worth becoming. If someone buy stock there are basically jumping off a plane without out a parachute. You are being pulled by gravity down until they hit the ground or in other word reach bankruptcy or becoming more indet by the minute. People who buy stock are wasting time of their precious lives doing something pointless and useless, like I just did doing this

    Throughout the month the top 3 stocks I had traded were STRT, YELP and UA. Although UA stumbled through the middle, it rebounded and created a nice profit. STRT is a security company, a riskier stock I found in the first week of trading and continued to trend upward the entire month. Yelp I found in part of researching for a more balanced portfolio, which returned my second best profit. Between these three stocks a profit of $345 was created.…

    Buffett believes one should put in time and research before buying shares of a company because “it’s not enough to just know a ticker symbol; one needs to understand what the company does, how it makes its money, and just who is running the show” (Lofton 75). Before the Internet, Buffett had needed to go to the Security and Exchange Commission to see company filings. He would also need to take notes by hand and would visit companies, such as GEICO, which is now owned completely by Berkshire Hathaway, and ask about “the company’s financials and prospects” (Lofton 77). His days and nights are normally spent reading annual reports, business magazines and books, and Lofton compares him to a sponge by “soaking up as much information as possible” (77). Buffett thinks one benefit of research is one can “quickly assess potential deals.…
