Raising initial capital: 4 approaches, of which one is not goodLet's break down the thought from the previous post in more detail. Obviously, to buy stocks, you have to have money, and if you are determined to become an investor, get ready to open your piggy bank. If you don't have savings, however, don't despair, there are other options. I suggest you look at the following 4 options for acquiring the finances to buy stocks : - Reduce your current expenses - Sell unnecessary assets - Increase your regular income - And the option I don't recommend using at the start is to borrow. I immediately stipulate that it is your, and only your responsibility how to apply the knowledge gained - to use something of the proposed or to go another way. I do not insist on anything. Rather, I am sharing information, but the decision is up to you in any case. My opinion - always start with reducing your current costs, because the funds you save now give you a chance to increase your wealth in the future through investing. Make it a rule to plan your purchases in advance and buy only what is on your list. Don't go to the store without a list, otherwise you will buy more than you really need. Next. Look at your possessions. Make a list of what you can sell without compromising your financial and mental well-being. Let what you don't need now serve to increase your wealth in the future. Increasing your regular income is probably the most time-consuming but feasible way to accumulate funds for investment. Many people are often faced with the problem of choosing between a job they love where they don't earn enough and a job they hate with a higher income or, even worse, a job they hate with a paltry income. In the latter two cases, I recommend becoming an active user of services that will help you find the job you want (but don't act in haste, don't quit a job you don't like right away). Remember our goal is to keep and increase our income, not lose it altogether. In the case of a job you love and don't make much money, think about how you can increase your income in your current job. Sometimes all you have to do is make up your mind and ask your employer for it. Even a small increase will help you start saving. And if you have both a job you love and a desired level of income, I congratulate you, you are truly lucky. Moving on. Borrowing for investments is the riskiest option. I highly do not recommend it, especially at the beginning of your investing journey. You definitely should not take a loan from a bank or other financial institutions. The credit rate will only increase your costs, and the need to repay the loan every month will break your entire investment strategy. If family, friends or acquaintances are willing to lend you money long-term and without interest, think about whether your lender is aware of the risks and whether you are aware of the risks associated with investing in stocks, and whether this person will demand the money back before the agreed upon deadline. Even if you have agreed on everything, write down all of the terms of such a private loan on paper, so it is easier to resolve any disputes. I always insist that the investment is conscious, that you understand and are ready to bear the responsibility and risks. So if you have even the slightest doubt about the borrowing option - don't take it! Consider another option. Ideally - work out a step-by-step plan and accumulate the necessary amount of money gradually.

Investing is the ability to say "no" so that you can say "yes"Have a wonderful day, my dear friends! Let's get acquainted. My name is Capy. Someday I will tell you my stunning life story, and how fate has tied me to investing. I can't quite believe it myself sometimes... But that's not what today is about. Today I'm starting a series of posts to introduce you to my vision and strategy in the very multifaceted and insanely interesting topic of stock investing. Let's start by figuring out why you should be an investor? Many people think that investors are some kind of Wall Street wolves who trade stocks of companies and make unimaginable amounts of money on it. I'm sure there are those too. But, in fact, investing has long ceased to be the monopoly of the employees of banks, brokerage companies or big businessmen. Investing is available to absolutely everyone who plans their wealth and has the basic knowledge obtained at university. Or aspires to learn this indomitable beast. This is the reason I started this blog: to help everyone who wants to understand and share my ready-made strategy that you can apply in the process of investing. It's worth saying that every one of us has done the act of investing at least once in our lives, perhaps without even realizing it. For example, when placing money on a bank deposit (the well-known bank deposit), renting out real estate, opening a business or just learning. All these actions have one common formula: you give something away now in order to get it back in the future and, in addition, to make a profit. When you rent out an apartment, you cannot live in it because you have given it to other people to use. But when the lease expires, you'll get your apartment back, plus a profit in the form of the rent you've been receiving all that time. When you start a business, you put money into it so you can pay it back later through the proceeds. And, of course, you expect the returns to exceed the costs invested. When you invest in education, you plan to use what you have learned to achieve something, whether it's getting a job or enriching your inner world. It is the expectation of profit that is the main motivating factor for the investor and the main purpose of the investment. If you give someone an apple and they give it back to you after a while, that's not an investment. And if you give someone an apple, and after some time you get two apples back - you are already an investor, because you made a profit in the form of an additional apple. The upcoming series of posts will focus on one of the investment options - namely, investing in stocks of companies. I plan to teach you how to approach each trade wisely and in a measured way to keep you from engaging in short-term speculation that looks like a casino game. Going back to our formula, a stock investment is a transfer of your money to a particular company in exchange for a stake in its business. The purpose of these actions is to make a profit in the future from the sale of the shares (in the case of buying cheaper and selling higher), or the second option - to receive dividends. Dividends are when the company shares with you a portion of the profits in proportion to your share in the business. But we will focus on the first option to make a profit, that is "buy cheaper - sell more expensive". And the dividends to consider as a nice bonus to this strategy. I will publish a new post soon. Let's talk about approaches that will allow you to find funds for investment.

What is IDO? Benefits and Risk WHAT IS IDO? SHOULD YOU BUY LAUNCHPAD TOKENS? What is an IDO? The initial decentralized offer is the process of selling tokens early on decentralized exchanges for new crypto projects (DEX). "IDO" - Initial Dex Offering. Decentralized intermediary exchanges help new blockchain companies sell their tokens. IDO is a common way to get people to invest in a crypto project. It works in a way that is similar to an IPO, which is when shares are sold on the stock market. IDO takes place in two steps: Tokens can only be used by a small group of people. On average, one participant gets a "allocation" of $100 to $1,000, but it depends on the project and could be more. Start of business. After being made, tokens are put in a pool where they can be sold. At this point, they can already be traded. How IDO works? With the help of decentralized exchanges (DEX), putting tokens into action is much easier. The project team issues its tokens on the chosen platform, and the exchange is already selling and transferring tokens. People buy them, which helps pay for the project. The main benefit of this method of promotion for the developer is that the process is automated. On DEX exchanges, everything is automated using smart contracts, so the developer doesn't have to deal with each sale and purchase. Here are some basic rules about how IDO works: From the start, the project is tested on the chosen DEX, and only after that can it be used for IDO. If the "exam" doesn't go well, they won't be able to enter IDO. Then, they sell a certain number of tokens for a set price. Buyers block their money, and the amount of assets they bought is given to them. After tokens are made, they are given to people (TGE). To buy, you have to be on the list of investors who have been checked out (White paper). For verification, you need either an address for a crypto wallet or the completion of tasks set by the project. The project team gets the money from the sale of digital assets, minus the money that goes into the liquidity pool. When the tokens are unlocked, they can be traded after the purchase. Coins can be locked for a few months or even a few years, depending on the project. During the attraction of investments in the project, the tokens are not liquid. Participation in IDO To join IDO, you'll need the following: - Metamask or another active cryptocurrency wallet; - Enough money in the right stablecoin to buy tokens and pay for exchange fees; - Set up the connection to the DApps. Make sure you have enough money in your account to cover the cost of transactions before you buy tokens. After connecting the DApp, you need to follow the instructions, which may be slightly different on each exchange. When a user buys tokens, he or she gets to keep them. When the generation period is over, the money is moved to the crypto wallet. Please keep in mind that the terms of the exchange say that assets may be locked for a while or used to stake. Before agreeing to the project's terms, you should carefully read the instructions. IDO's Safety Measures There are risks involved in any activity that has to do with buying assets. This is especially true when real money is used to buy virtual tokens in the crypto ecosystem. You have to do exactly what is said. A few rules to follow in IDO to stay safe: - Check out the link to sign up. Scammers can offer a fake link when they want to send money to a project. If you use it, the money will go to the attackers and not to the platform. This means you can forget about tokens. Look for strange redirects. - Think about what you want to say. Project ideas are usually posted on well-known, popular exchanges, but not always there. - Don't put money in until you've looked into the project. All of the information about the founder and his team needs to be carefully looked at. Most of the time, projects that make money are made by professionals who have done it before. - Pay close attention to the terms. Based on the rules of the exchange, tokens could be blocked for a long time. You need to know what to expect ahead of time. - Mentally say goodbye to the invested amount. The most important rule of investing is that you should only invest money that you don't mind losing if something goes wrong. IDO is not a way to make money where you have to put in money. Not because it was a scam, but because it took so long to pay back. What will happen to IDO? The rules for initial public offerings that are decentralized are always changing. There are new ways to trade coming up. The IDO (Initial Farm Offer) scheme is as popular as the IFO (Initial Farm Offer) scheme. The biggest problem with IDO is that assets have to be frozen before they can be released into the pool. So, you can only make money with tokens after a while. How many people take part in the trade determines how many digital coins the investor will get in the end. To attract big investors, basic and unlimited sale are added as new functions. IDO is one of the most popular ways to get money for a project right now, so they will become even more popular and better in the future. IDO's + - Using this method to get investments has a number of benefits: - Investors and developers don't work directly with each other. Instead, they work through an exchange, so the investor doesn't have to trust the smart contracts of the project. - Part of the money raised is put into the pools so that there will be a market for trading tokens after the sale. - To make a transaction, you don't need to give any personal information; all you need is an active crypto wallet. The project can be used by anyone. - At first, little-known tokens can attract investors, but it would be hard for them to do so through large, centralized exchanges. - IDOs let you buy a limited number of tokens, so that more people can put money into the project. This cuts down on the risks. IDO's - - Among the things that are bad about the IDO scheme, the following stand out: - Not enough good protection. The project is open to everyone. There is no guarantee that someone won't use IDO to launder money or do other illegal things. - There is no proof. Through initial decentralized offerings, it is easier to spread tokens that don't have very high ratings. Launchpads and IDO (launch pads). Should you buy launchpad tokens? Launchpad is a place where people can invest in new crypto projects. Money can be raised so that tokens can be released, developed, and improved. The most important thing that platforms do is bring together investors and blockchain developers into one crypto community. When people invest in digital assets, they want to get virtual currency at a good price. Before the project is published, it must be checked out to protect investors from fraud. The more popular and larger the launchpad, the higher the requirements are for crypto projects. At the same time, most online IDOs are just scams, and the number of these projects is growing all the time. To pick a good IDO, you have to look at a lot of information. The best way to avoid a scam is to do your own research (DYOR). After careful analysis, the choice should be based on objective criteria. he launch of a project on two top platforms at the same time is a good sign. In this case, it doesn't matter which launchpad to use. Investors. Be sure to research the investors and only trust those on the so-called "white list" if that is at all possible. Terms. Paying enough attention to the project's tokenomics is important. For example, some proposals say that you can get assets in a few years. Long-term investments in small projects are risky in a world where things change quickly. You should always think about whether the game is worth your time. If the project isn't shown on trusted platforms and investors from the Whitelist aren't involved, it's not a good idea for a beginner to take them on. You can try to learn about tokenomics by looking at the best projects. After you've mastered the details, you can try more risky launches, but only after you've done a thorough objective analysis.

How To Make Your Investment in STEEM Work?STEEM is an attractive cryptocurrency for long-term investment. And there are three reasons for this. 1. Bullish divergence. Thus, the first potential source of profit is an increase in the price of STEEM. 2. Stacking. STEEM is a cryptocurrency with its own blockchain, linked to the social media platform Steemit. > Steemit is a blockchain-based blogging and social media website. Users can gain a cryptocurrency, STEEM, for publishing and curating content. By creating a Steemit account, you immediately get a secure wallet on this platform. You need to transfer your money to this wallet and make a Power Up. After that, your STEEM becomes STEEM POWER. WARNING! STEEM POWER can be transferred back to STEEM at your discretion at any time. This will happen in 1 month in four tranches. As you have transferred STEEM into STEEM POWER, the rule applies to you: > STEEM POWER increases at an APR of approximately 3.10%, subject to blockchain variance. So, this is the second source of profit. 3. Profit from content curation. Don't panic! You don't need to do anything :) At Steemit, you can make a profit from content curation. To do this, you need to connect your account to the Curation Trail. Such a trailer can be found, for example, in the WORLD OF XPILAR community on Steemit. This is the biggest trailer, but there are others. A specific example. My investment is 16983.06 STEEM. During the last 7 days, for content curation, they brought in a profit of 46.38 STEEM, or 0.273% per week. A simple calculation shows that for automatic content curation you will receive about 15% of the profit per year. An added bonus is that when you receive STEEM for content curation, you receive the same amount of TRON at the same time. Conclusion Yes, it's a little trickier than just buying and waiting for a price increase to sell. But the one who has the knowledge makes a profit. All of the above can be done in one hour. The next few years your money will make you money :)

Bank of America - it will be a great again like USA? hi, we have a big problem, because when I look on the Simple Wall Street application I see that lot of managers from top banks sold their stocks of their own banks. I think: Citi, Goldman Sachs, GP Morgan, Please read also ZeroHedge article about banks in USA, only to summarize it: we have to wait to October to see where will be the index of SPX in Poland we say - without banks there is no hosanna, bullish market. There is great back in stocks, lot of selling, people are right now on the cash sitting. I think that looking on Fibonacci - 25 will be tested, o 20 USD? Also look if there are more PUT or Call Options. It is better to wait right now and wait for any signal that it will move up back, on all the market, not only on one stock There will be up and down, hills and bottom, remember that next hill must be above last one that we can say that market will move then up... Also there must be a calm down - no more sliding down in quick time ...

CITI moving on 46 USD then 42 USDhi, take my example what not to do. If you invest, remember, try to save your capital and make SL - stop loss. My first mistake. I did not make it. Take a portion of your capital for example 20% - invest first and wait 2%, if you are on profit, invest another 20%, and wait next 2%. My fault - I invest to much on the beginning. Or look mainly on the index how it is going, if it is like CITI ticker C moving down, it will still go down. There is a gap between 40 USD. Right now we go on 46 USD then 42 USD. What next? I don't know. I hope it will move up. We have to close this gap for sure. Remember no position - sitting on cash is also a position. This is my story, I lost 10%, I am happy to receive dividend, hope it helps. I think 0.5 half year to 1 one year sitting and looking how my wallet is shrinking. I suppose maybe 2023 will move back up. Still I have some free cash but I am not sure to buy... for what price. Yeah.. I made big mistake. best regards Adas Orlenik

Comparing DOT COM Bubble of 2000 to the EVERYTHING Bubble 2022This bubble is beginning to become more and more similar to the dot com Y2K boom and bust... Look when the monthly RSI peaked in the dot come era it peaked in 1996 and we had hidden bearish RSI divergence. It took 4 years for the price to reach a peak meaning price continued to trend up but RSI was trending down. Look at what is happening now... We peaked on monthly RSI in 2018 and it has been four years exactly once again... By this logic we could see a monthly downtrend and confirmed multi year bear market sometime around October of 2022. I also overlayed the bust fractal from the dot com days when we entered a bear market and we even respected it perfectly and we are forming a monthly lower high. I think selling pressure will begin around the summertime and really pick up into the fall. Are you hedging? Is your portfolio prepared? This isn't to create fear this is just relaying what the charts are saying. This isn't a guarantee but its too close to ignore.

Meta (Facebook) is this the bottom?Meta(Facebook): Is this the bottom? So this is just done on the technical side of the analysis. So let me give you my personal answer first off I think that when I look at the chart on a technical view this is not yet the bottom. When We have a look at the zone that is drawn op in the chart in orange we can see that the price did go below that when we got the news of the bad numbers. We can see that this zone was support and resistance in the past already. Normally when we reach a zone like that we need to see what the price does here. For my personal experience there are 2 things that can happen now. Either we get a break of the zone to the top side and we go up after that. We could also see a break and then first a retest of the zone. When it than is unable to go and break the zone we will see a good move up. The other thing that I see that could happen is that we break the zone to the down side and that we after that could go up back to that zone but after is not able to break that zone. After we got a retest of the zone but not a break of the zone we could see a big pull to the down side. What I think could happen is that we will go down to the next big support that we can see in the chart. What I think will happen is number 2. We can see that the price is now below the zone and that it already closed 2 times below that zone. It did go up a little today and did touch the zone but as long as the price is not able to close above the zone I see this price going down even more. The one thing that we do can see now is that the price does seems to be at the 0,618 level of the Fibb. When we look at the drops that we got in the past we can see that the last time we got a drop after earnings where there was about the same big volume traded was back in 25/06/2018. Then we got bad revenue. We can see that the first time we got a drop of 21,39%. The total drop off that was 42,75% before we went back up again. We did went into a bear market for this stock for 150 days. So it did take us a while before we got that. What we can see now is that the price now already dropped about 26,62%. If now the same thing is going to happen here then we could see a drop even to the price for 185,14. So we could see a bigger drop but like the last time it could take us a while before we get to that level. All of this data can be viewed by the data that is on the chart in white. In conclusion: I think that the price will drop even more now and that we can get this stock at an even better price. For now I will just wait and see what the bottom is that we can get here but for now I am not going to buy this stock. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message. If you like the idea do not forget to give it a like and feel free so share your idea on this in the comments. Everything you see on my profile is just for educational purposes only.

$EEENF PT 5 Supernova 285X Returns88 Energy Limited (ASX:88E; AIM 88E) has just commenced drilling the Merlin-1 well which will initially be drilled to 1,500 feet, then surface casing will be installed and the Blow Out Preventer System tested. This is expected to take approximately one week to execute after which the well will be deepened through the target horizons in the Nanushuk Formation to a maximum total depth of 6,000 feet. The Merlin-1 well is targeting 645 million barrels of gross mean prospective resource as outlined below. Logging while drilling and mudlogging will provide initial indications as to the prospectivity of the well during this part of the operation which is expected to take three to five days. A sophisticated wireline logging suite will then be run, including sidewall cores and downhole sampling. Wireline logging is expected to take five to seven days. If the results from the wireline logging are encouraging, then the well will be completed with casing and a flow test conducted. US$13 million in cash to pursue Harrier-1 next season 88E said that recent delays commencing Merlin-1 could well result in the previously planned Harrier-1 not being drilled until next season. There has also been a financial impact from delays mainly associated with the issuance of a permit to drill that should see the costs of the well attributed to 88E increasing from US$1.4 million to US$4 million. Notwithstanding this financial impost, the company’s current cash position is US$13 million which more than funds its share of the drilling of Merlin-1 and the company’s other planned activities. Consequently, management’s focus is firmly on achieving success with Merlin-1, and on this note managing director Dave Wall said, "Drilling has now commenced at Merlin-1, with results expected within the next 4 weeks. "This is an exciting and pivotal time for the company and our shareholders.” The timing of a potential oil strike couldn’t be better with the Crude Oil WTI Index hitting a high of US$67.98 per barrel just last week, a level it hasn’t traded at since 2018.
