Since I'm still relatively new to investing actively, this is what I've done over the last few months to gain experience.
1) Buy what I'm familiar with
I work in tech so I'm very familiar with the companies in this space. It is easy for me to pick out $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ and $Apple (AAPL.US)$ for long-term investments. They're the types that I don't have to worry about the daily ups and downs because I know in a few years, they'll be winners.
2) Widen my knowledge in other industries
I also have favorite industries that I want to explore more, and which I feel have a very good future although they may not immediately appear so. One of them is space. Real space stocks with a vision for making life better, and not just billionaires club tourism. I'm a huge fan of $Astra Space (ASTR.US)$ I can't wait to see how far they can go, and I'm also looking to enter $Rocket Lab (RKLB.US)$, which is slightly different but just as full of potential.
3) Community discussion
I love it here on Moomoo because it has a community that is so generous in sharing tips on what to buy. These are quite risky but sometimes, it's fun to make a few quick bucks. The more rewarding part for me is, how different traders are analyzing their recommendations and there's just so much to learn. Thank you all so much for sharing your know-how.
