Let’s explore some investing strategies, from the short to long term 👴

Day Trading is buying & selling the same stock in one day

To legally day trade, you need to have at least $25k 😱

It’s also very risky and not recommended for beginners 🚩

You may have heard of day traders who make a lot of money very quickly, but they often lose money in the long run 😲

A 2021 report suggests that up to 80% of day traders lose money over a 1 year period 😲

Swing trading is buying and selling a stock to capture a short to medium term price change ✨

Swing traders hold onto stocks longer than day traders, but typically less than a few months 📅

Swing traders are often trying to profit off of a particular period of price movement in a stock...

but are typically not focused on the long term value of a company 💰

Value Investing = buying and holding a stock expecting that the company will increase in value in the long term

Value investors look for undervalued stocks -- stocks that may be worth more than their market price -- and then hold onto them for years, or even decades! 🚀

Imagine if you invested $1000 in Apple when they first went public in 1982, and held onto your shares because you believed in Apple's long term value 🍎

Well, those $1000 you invested would have turned into over $1.6 MILLION today! (as of July 2023) 💸 💸

Now you have a brief introduction to 3 different investment strategies! ⚡

Ultimately, deciding which strategies to use depends on your risk profile, and your desired returns over time
