Which stocks to buy?

[el kaka22]

To go with stocks instead of crypto during this period makes me wonder if people are still mad. I mean stocks are just companies, companies crash, they bankrupt, there is nothing that can make you trust a company more than you could trust some crypto.

I would trust the biggest company, apple (or is it tesla now) as much as I trust BNB at most, which is third coin, and that is the biggest company, I would feel like ETH and BTC is a better investment than any other company anywhere on the world, it's just as simple as that. Some may disagree with me but that is how I see it and I will continue to see it that way forever. People are just overly fond of these stocks because that is how it has been for a while and they are having trouble changing their perspective.

What some people do not know is that stocks too are highly volatile too.

Maybe I'm just an old fart, but if there are people here who have no clue what the volatility difference is between the stock market and bitcoin (not to mention altcoins) or simply that the stock market is volatile at times, they really ought to learn a bit about finance before plowing a bunch of money into anything.

And yes, as I said stocks can be volatile--but overall it's nowhere near the level of bitcoin.  The wild swings have seemingly settled down as of late, but you don't generally see 20% (or more) gains or losses in the course of a day in the stock market, and if that were to happen it'd be front page news.  But that kind of volatility has been seen in the bitcoin market repeatedly, and everybody just yawns.

OP, do a lot more research before trying to pick stocks to buy, and don't rely on people's posts unless they seem well-informed.  The fact is that we've been in a sustained bull market for well over a decade now and at the moment stocks are overvalued in general.  So if you buy some tech stock with no earnings or a P/E >25 or so, you're probably buying near the high.  The safest thing to do (and it's been recommended by many economists and financial advisors) is to buy into an index fund that tracks one of the major indexes.  That way you're basically betting on the stock market as a whole and not on a single company.

Good luck in whatever you do.  Markets are crazy right now, so get a feel for things before making a move.

I was naive like the OP before I joined bitcoitalk forum. Now I understand more about the decentralized nature of bitcoin and it's advantage over company stocks. With what I've learned so far here and the level of confidence of members about the profitability of bitcoin, I believe that it is the way to go, as far as trading and investment business goes.

As you have noted, we newcomers don't need to rely solely on posts made by members, there is need to carry out research before doing anything. For that I'm thankful for the educative links that I've come across in this forum, that enlightens on the many hadvantages of bitcoin.

try to buy gold mine stock. I think those who are related to gold will give us more profit space compared to other industrial investments because gold is said to be the most powerful medium of exchange. but if you like the financial industry that's not bad because bank stocks also usually offer good medium term returns, besides that try real estate where they are very good in fundamentals and the price doesn't fall easily.

This is a bit of a matter of taste, but I prefer companies that are established, boring, and have a long history of growing dividend payments, the best representative being J&J.

If you build a portfolio of stocks in this style you get cash flow from the dividend payments, plus a likely appreciation of the stock. The downside: you probably won't beat a low-cost S&P 500 index fund in total return. But dividend investing in blue chips has a psychological component as well. When you invest in a fund, you tend not to want to sell the fund and if you need cash you get rid of part of the investment and, in advance, you will not be able to know if you have chosen a bad timing to sell, while with dividends you get a cash flow that you can reinvest or spend as you see fit without selling your shares.

Now the economic sector has sunk, and is it worth buying shares, if so, in which area? I am considering buying shares of any Internet publications and large companies, is there a demand for them and will there be an increase in shares?

A great Expansion trade plan from you. I like it. If you want to choose this type of investment, the profit is small, but if paid in installments little by little it will bear fruit, especially those with good fundamentals, not much debt, the product is very well known so the potential for delisting is very small.

Yes. like one of the categories mentioned earlier by you, the stock of Internet publications and for the types and choices, of course, there are many. The concept is the same as Crypto if you go up you sell and down you buy back, not much different from investing with BTC.

When there are so many opportunities in Bitcoin and you are connected to Bitcoin Talk Forum then why would you want to buy stock shares instead of buying Bitcoin. Those who have no idea about the bitcoin market or those who are not connected to this forum would make such a decision, but if you regularly spend time on this forum, you should know how the movement of bitcoin may go next. If you know this information, then for you. The decision will be easy i mean instead of buying stock shares you invest in bitcoin and forget about your investment for some time after a certain time you log into your invested account then see how successful you are in investing.

Everything is at risk, man. After all, ETH or BNB are also run by an individual or a company, so the possibility of their collapse will also happen, they cannot be safer than the stocks of large companies like Apple or Tesla. You prefer crypto because they simply offer better returns than stocks, but the higher the return, the higher the risk.

In terms of market capitalization, Apple's capitalization is around $2.7 trillion, which is 2.5 times larger than the entire crypto market. So to say that stocks are not safer than crypto is a lie and slightly biased toward crypto.

To be fair, cryptocurrency is not the best investment, it is just the most profitable investment, but everything is always proportional, high return comes with high risk.

Bank shares are not a good idea unless you are buying the too big to fail ones like JPM. All these regionals are a dead cat bounce and when they rally high enough many will simple sell because it’s too risky.

It’s risky because they got bad loans and low deposit rates. Most likely more will go under and the stockholders won’t get anything back. The depositors will be fine but bond and shareholders will get wiped. Hence why there is no point in buying regional stocks.

It's understandable that you have a strong belief in the potential of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as investments compared to traditional stocks. Cryptocurrencies have gained significant popularity and have shown impressive growth in recent years. However, it's important to consider a few points when evaluating the potential of both stocks and cryptocurrencies:

Either stock or crypto I think it's just as profitable as long as we have the right strategy,
when talking about crypto especially the top two coins which are Bitcoin and Ethereum there is no doubt about it,
for long term investment it is very worth it and will be profitable.

In my opinion, stock investing is not a good idea because, in the next five years, the profit will be minimal compared to that of bitcoin. Another argument is that you cannot purchase shares with a small sum of money, and your investment will be managed by someone else at the end of the day. Bitcoin has a big potential and can be purchased for a small sum of money. If you can hang onto it for a while and keep acquiring more coins while keeping an eye on the market, it can make you a good profit. You can be certain that your investment will be a good one. Last but not least, you are your own bank. You are in charge of managing your investments, and all of your profits are yours alone. But if you think it's a stock you like, do some study on the most advantageous, low-leverage stocks.

[Wong Gendheng]

In my opinion, stock investment in the long run will be very good and profitable, the financial sector is the best type of stock because it provides many profit reports every year, do not be tempted to invest in stocks that are still new because they are still vulnerable and risky, in addition to the investment financial sector in the infrastructure sector Also has good potential because they work a lot of large projects and of course profit is easier to obtain.

You'd better look at the market of your application, now indeed many stocks are growing again, do not miss the moment and buy different ones at a minimum. World Cup several companies and a lot.

[Bitcoin2009]

In my opinion, agricultural or plantation stocks are the stocks that we most deserve to buy, food prices continue to increase because many countries in the world have changed from an agrarian country to an industrial country so that agricultural land is decreasing, companies that focus on the agricultural and plantation business certainly get a lot of benefits and now many have entered the stock market.

If you like investing in stocks, you should choose stocks of technology companies, most of which have the best growth in the stock market. But why don't you invest in cryptocurrencies? Its returns are much better than stocks. In terms of risk, it is true that cryptocurrencies will be much riskier, but as an investment, there is always a risk, high risk, high return.

Almost all countries around the world have problems developing in their economy, and they cannot fix it because they themselves are the ones who will not be affected when their economy collapses.

That's why the investors are just investing in what they think and they think they will grow and most of them are in stocks and the rest are in bitcoin if they want long-term. And the rest is in real estate or gold like that.

There are many stocks to invest both offline and online as for the offline Fish farming is also good stock to invest in and also snail farming etc while online invest can be Recharge Card, and distribution of wifi network to users around my locality.
But if I am the one that doing the business (investment) I would prefer to invest in Cassava stock business because cassava can be used to produce a lot food products. And food products is one of the fastest commodities that people buy. Though everyone with their own interest and this is my area of interest because it part of my field of study and I grew up with that.

try to enter bank shares, or also giant companies like goole or tesla. I think google and tesla are still good to consider as an investment place to buy shares. if there are stocks about AI, I think they are a must have for us, AI is very popular now, even though it is a short trend but worth trying to invest. if you want to go long term try to get into real estate stocks or gold mines.

Why tesla though? Chart doesn't look that promising so i am not seeing anything from the point of technical analysis that would.

Google on the other hand seems to recover strongly and i has a change for a very bullish year coming but that montly candle seems too strong at this point. I would wait for retrace before entering.

For fundamental side of TSLA, for any bigger investors this is a truly high risk bet, as when CEO is unhinged and pretty much destroys his PR in his free time, that naturally affects to company PR. I would avoid that. And looking at the charts, investors avoid it as well as while it's not in a free fall it needs ton of confidence to start the recovery.

[Kadal Ijo]

I think stocks related to financial services such as banks, mutual funds and so on have good future prospects, this is what made me also invest in bank stocks even though with a small value, even though the profit potential is still small compared to cryptocurrencies but bank shares have good security .

Investing in stocks, you analyze charts just to find the right time to buy, but to know its future value, you need to evaluate the performance of that company. Tesla is one of the companies delivering huge returns to investors, so this crisis period is a good time for investors to invest in their stock. To be on the safe side, I still think it's a good idea to invest in stocks of tech companies.

But I find it confusing, we are on a cryptocurrency forum. Why doesn't he mention and invest in crypto, but he wants to invest in stocks, while crypto is giving better returns.
