Reading all the posts in the discussion, I remembered when I was still a novice in the stock market 1 year ago. At the beginning, my mom gave a lot of money to me, she said I need to learn how to manage finances. I was very flustered and confused, but I had to make a difference. At that time, I started buying stocks unstructured.
I’m very shy, so in reality I fear to ask the experienced investors. But now, I meet a lot a lot of mooers here, I can share my points freely. When freshmen pick the stock, the most important thing is to ask yourself, "Do you like the company?"
Buffett once said “don’t do when you are unfamiliar.” Investment is not just a gambling, it’s an information war, every industry has its own information barriers. In-depth understanding of a certain industry and thorough research on a certain company can enable us to break the information asymmetry to the greatest extent and help us make as comprehensive and scientific decisions as possible.
When you don't have any ideas, choose leading companies, such as Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google, which are the "FAAMG" we often hear. Since I was in college, I have been using an iPhone. I have a strong sense of faith in it, so Apple is my faith stock.
There are two points to note:
1. No matter how well-known companies enter a downward trend, they shouldn’t easily intervene.
2. Don't touch junk stocks.
Finally, I think the easiest way to choose stocks is to choose from the S&P 500+, Dow Jones 30+, Nasdaq 100 index stocks, which are enough.
$Apple (AAPL.US)$  $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$  $Amazon (AMZN.US)$
