Elevated Thinking

Today, we are going to switch up our discussions and talk about current events and its implications in the financial realm and business in the economy. More specifically, we are going to explore how the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected the American economy on the macroeconomic level.

Today I want to talk about the different types of investing strategies and mentalities that individuals use to grow their portfolio. They range anywhere from day trading with evaluation metrics and analysis to long term investing strategies using the candlelight strategy to capture and understand trends.

Today’ focus is as stated: “Don’t allow a winner’s game to become a loser’s game.” Successful investing is all about common sense and regular knowledge. As Warren Buffett has said, it is simple -- if it’s done right -- but it is not easy. Simple arithmetic suggests, and history confirms, that the winning strategy for investing in stocks is to own all of the nation’s publicly held businesses at very low cost. By doing so, you are guaranteed to capture almost the entire return that these businesses generate in the form of dividends and earnings growth.

On today’s episode we will be talking about what is the stock market, how it works, the different ways to make profits, and our personal recommendations on the best ideologies to utilize in your investment strategies as a teenager going into adulthood.

This is our Introduction to the First Ever Elevated Thinking Podcast Series addressing Investing as a Young Individual in the Modern World! We reference John Bogle’s The Little Book of Common Sense Investing and we lay Down our Thoughts and Ideologies of Investing in the US Stock Markets.
