What should you expect from your risky investment in stocks, cryptocurrencies, etc.?

First of all, let me tell you what you shouldn't expect: Don't expect to make money as soon as you buy.

Now, you need to understand this:

When you start a business,

1. If the place isn't yours, you have rent.

2. You have salaries for your employees.

3. You have initial investment costs.

4. You have dues, bills, etc.

5. You have raw materials, ongoing capital payments.

6. You have household expenses, living costs.

7. You have months with losses and months with profits.

And there is a known fact (I don't know if this has changed) that you will need to give at least a year to be able to make money from your new business. I don't know if it exists, but I haven't heard of a business that recovers its investment capital in the first month yet. As I said, maybe it exists, but I haven't heard or I don't remember.

So this means you will either have additional income or you will have enough money to manage.

From this, we understand that you shouldn't invest all your money. Otherwise, you may need to close the shop and sell your goods cheaply. This is already what happens when you sell when the prices of shares (or cryptocurrencies) drop. So we bought it, but it didn't work out, we are closing the shop!

So what are the expenses I listed above? They are drawdown. It’s the process you need to manage for a while! The only difference here is that you are an investor, not an entrepreneur. This means others are working in your place. Of course, they are also working to make money.

Therefore, friends, be patient! Avoid investing in shares or cryptocurrencies you hear about from here and there. You are the best analyst!

These are my humble opinions!
