Why Millennials SHOULD NOT Buy Stocks

minoritymindset
About this episode

“If your goal is to get rich quick, you should not be buying stocks.”

In this episode, Jaspreet lays out why jumping blindly into the stock market can be a huge mistake, especially for Millennials riding the hype wave:

  • Why getting rich quick in stocks is not a sustainable strategy

  • How the pandemic created a dangerous “gambling mindset” among new investors

  • Why stock market psychology matters just as much as stock market strategy

  • How emotional investing can kill your gains (even if you pick good companies)

  • The importance of building an emergency fund and paying off high-interest debt first

  • Why you should only invest money you’re willing to lose

  • The right way to start: passive investing vs. risky trading

  • How to tell if you’re better suited for long-term investing or short-term trading

  • Why understanding your strategy before you invest is critical to success

If you're serious about growing your money, not just gambling with it, then this episode is your starting point.
