Do My Homework! Then Let The Market Reward Me With An Investment Profit Eventually!
Every time I felt anxious, I think about the stock market in Mar. 2020. Then, I have a peaceful mind. However, this is provided I'm not purely speculating an investment opportunity.
I do as much "homework" as possible before investing in a stock - this could include 1) understand the company, i.e. how does the company make sales and is it a sustainable business; 2) look at the fundamentals of its financial profile; 3) what are other investors think about the company and its valuation; 4) are there reputable institutional investors also invested in the company and are they buying or selling now; 5) recent news that impacts the company; 6) is this a potential buying point (technical analysis) etc. The list is not exclusive, and it could go on and on... these researches are going to provide me confidence in the stock value. Despite there may be short term price fluctuations, I know, eventually, the company is going to succeed and its stock price will rise.
The REWARDS may be late, but it will come!
