When I first started my Investing Journey, I’ll admit, I was attempting to Day Trade. Although it still interests me, I like to think of myself as an investor, and not much of a trader.
After Day Trading, I wanted to figure out how to be in the market, long term. I loved looking at businesses, financials, dividends, and ETF’s. What an interesting world that appeared to be unlocking before my very eyes.
When I started to invest, I looked for the best deals when opening an account with a Fintech company. Those were Webull, SoFi, Public, M1, and Coinbase. It was so easy, you could actually invest with as little as $1.00. For most apps now that has changed to $5, but it isn’t that big of a step up. What is $5.00 these days? You can buy fractional shares, and you can receive dividends and votes with those fractional shares. You can continue to buy more and more fractional shares until it adds up to a full share.
The access now a days can allow someone who has a minimum to give, like $5.00, to succeed as well as someone who gives much more to their investing account. The most important part of this is that you start. Make it easy on yourself, start with those low fractional shares, make it a point to start a recurring deposit, and eventually you will start to invest more and more.
It’s the beauty that anyone can be a business owner when they start buying shares of companies they want to own. It’s so great and easy to start now, there is no excuse.
Tell us, how do you invest? Daily, Weekly, Monthly? Do you save up a chunk and dump it all in, or do you buy as you go? How did you start?
