Any good yt channel to learn stock trading ?

I just saw a good one about dividend reinvestment investing--it's not active trading by any means, but it's a solid way to invest in the stock market:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i_3KAY1ZMo

Note:  This is not my video and I'm not promoting it.  I really did happen to come across it the other day when I was basically looking for videos by people who've been doing what I've been doing for years.  It takes a lot of time to reap the benefits if you don't have a lot of money to invest initially, but it pays off in the long run.

Be very careful what you listen to when you're watching investing videos on youtube.  There is so much crap by people who should never have access to a webcam that you can lose faith in humanity before actually getting solid advice.  That's especially true of people who subscribe to chart analysis, aka Technical Analysis, which I think is a bunch of voodoo religion bullshit.  But good luck in your travels and may you find great wealth.

Can you get more specific with what you're looking for related to stock trading? Is it a "how to?" for a beginner or are you looking for something specific?

Learning to trade stocks is a big topic and trading Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency isn't quite the same as trading stocks. Nearly all of the things people base stock trading decisions on doesn't apply to Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, so it's hard to replicate the approach.

And, as the Pharmacist said, "Be vary careful what you listen to when you're watching investing videos on YouTube."

The problem with stock trading is that 95% of traders lose money and they are fighting against hedge funds with lot of money which use high frequency trading algorithms. 

However, it is the most advertised system because it pays a lot of fees to the industry. It is exciting, but if you want to make money you’d better chose more boring systems, like dividend investing, value investing of even better, low cost index fund investing.
