Can reading investment books help us invest and make money?
The answer is: No.
Even if you read all the investment books in the world, I believe you will still be a loser. Making money through investment is not something you can learn by reading books, but you have to figure it out on your own.
Take me for example. When I first started investing, I was obsessed with reading investment books. I read one after another. When I read, I thought: Wow, this book is great, wow, this paragraph is so right, wow, this chapter is so well written. When I read, I felt that I gained a lot. I felt that I could make money soon, be financially free, and become the god of investment.
I opened the trading software and was completely confused. I had no idea what to buy or how to buy. I had no idea where to start. I bought something with great difficulty, but I sold it when it went up a little. I couldn't hold on to it at all. I held on to it when it went down, and I kept losing money. This went on for one year, two years, four years, and five years. I lost all the money I worked so hard to earn from working, and then I took out a loan to invest, but I still lost it all. I had no idea of the correct way to invest and make money.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that reading investment books is completely useless. Some cases can still serve as a warning to us, preventing us from making the same mistakes. They can also increase our knowledge and help us understand things we didn’t know before. But if you say that you can make money by reading investment books, I don’t agree. I have read countless investment books for five years and have lost money for five years. I am still paying off my loans.
However, I am now on the right investment path because I met my investment instructor, a person with more than ten years of investment experience. He has made money from investing in stocks, commodity futures, foreign exchange, cryptocurrencies, etc. Although he has lost money and fallen into pits, it does not affect his continuous investment, which is to make more money with less losses. His assets are increasing year by year. Although he is not a great man, he has been on the right investment path for many years. I believe that following him, I can also get on the right investment path. I have been learning from him for two or three years. Although I haven't made any money yet, at least my losses have been reduced. I believe that if I continue to learn from him, it will be natural for me to make money from investing in the future.
I am here to wish everyone can meet their own investment guide, and embark on the correct path of investing and making money as soon as possible, or find their own correct path of investing and making money.
Abandon the current way of losing money in investment, explore more, study more, think more, correct mistakes, make money through investment, others can do it, so can we, believe in ourselves. It is not terrible to lose money now, but it is terrible not to find the reason after losing money, not to correct it, and keep losing money, this is the most terrible.
Keep exploring your own investment path, abandon ways and methods that lose money, and stick to ways and methods that make money.
