RE: New Coin Offering, New Scam - Bunny Token
Thanks for sharing this information. Unfortunately I invested $5 in Bunny Tokens. Now I think of all the things I could have bought with that $5. (Actually it was $5 worth of Ethereum which is now only worth about $3)
Easy come easy go ....
No problem, $5 isn't too bad, at least you didn't invest thousands.
I only ever invest $20 in anything. It is the only disposable amount of income that I can afford to lose. Sometimes that $20 grows into thousands though. I once had 100 shares of Amazon.com back in 1999
Yeah, that's the beauty of investing, sometimes it can really pay off big. When I invest I try to go for a minimum of $100 each time, but it depends on where I invest. I wish I'd had the forethought to invest in amazon back in the 90s!
It went from $42,in 2009 to $1,600 this year. I bought and sold small amounts all the way up ... I have 2 shares left
Although 90% of my investments seem to lose money
I once lost $2,000 on Amazon by selling when they missed in all Estimates . It's easy to look back at a graph and say I wish I had bought a ton of this stock... it I very tough to hold on when you see all your gains disappear in after hours trading.
I had a Gold ETF (JNUG) where I had $30,000 in profits ... from a $1,000 investment... I watched it fall and fall and fall .. I bought the dips. In the end I lost $10,000 . I would have lost a lot more if I was holding today.
Its always super risky. It sounds like you made some decent gains from your amazon investment though. Its tough though and I would never recommend day trading to anyone who doesn't mind loosing more than they gain. The reliable money is made in longer term investments where you benefit from the dividend yields. Of course for that to be of any real benefit you have to have several hundered thousand invested.
A lot of it is down to luck in the end too. One of the funds I first invested into was an index fund based on the uranium business (primarily for nuclear power plants etc) .. In the end it was worth 10% of what I originally invested. you live you learn.
Yes. I have always done better when I invest smaller amounts.... as soon as I think I’ve hit the big one and go all in that is when I lose BIG TIME
I need to learn to be happy if I make an extra $1,000 a year on the Stock Market or crypto coins and start locking in some gains. ... I was once up $5,000 on Bitcoin. now I am in the red.
Yeah, the trick with investing is not to get too greedy and to spread the risk. But the most important thing is to remember that money is made playing the long game.Day trading generally always results in loss in the long run since the risks are so high. But the overal trend of economies over time is that they go up. So if you invest in something now .. in 20 years it will be worth more. Provided you didnt invet in company that goes bust.
The safest investments are always funds that track market indeces. They tend to be popular as investment plans for retirement, not for quick gains.. that's tantamount to gambling.
