talk about the one thing
[2]
that everyone cares about.
[3]
How do you make money using the
Cash App investing platform?
[7]
If you have any questions
throughout this video at all,
[9]
please leave them down
in the comments below
[11]
and I will answer every
single question you have.
[13]
Real quick, if you want
free $5 from Cash App,
[16]
all you have to do is use my
link down in the description
[18]
of this video to open up an account.
[20]
Once you do that, when
you send $5 to someone,
[23]
Cash App will give you a free $5.
[26]
You're more than welcome to send me $5
[28]
and then I'll refund it to you,
[29]
that way you can make an easy $5
[31]
without having to send
it to somebody else.
[32]
So I have my cash tag down in
the description of this video.
[36]
First things first, go ahead
and open up your Cash App app.
[39]
If you don't actually own any stocks yet,
[41]
you can follow along on my screen
[42]
if you own some on your own,
you can go and follow along
[46]
in your own screen.
[47]
So to get into the
investing side of things,
[49]
we're going to get go ahead
[50]
and click the squiggly line
right there to the right
[52]
to get us into the Cash App
investing side of things.
[54]
And as you can see, I
have $162.45 invested,
[59]
that's what my portfolio is.
[61]
So if we scroll down, we
can look at what's actually
[63]
in my portfolio starting
out with Rocket Companies,
[66]
Apple, NVIDIA, Home
Depot, Spotify and so on.
[70]
So we're gonna go ahead and
actually look at some of these.
[73]
Now there's two ways
to make money investing
[76]
in the stock market
using Cash App investing.
[79]
The first way is by buying
low and selling high.
[83]
And the second way I'll
talk about in just a minute.
[86]
So essentially you wanna
buy stocks when they're low
[88]
and sell when they're high,
[89]
but you don't always know
when they're gonna be low
[92]
and whether they're gonna be high,
[93]
you don't know how often
that's gonna happen.
[95]
So you kind of have to
do your own research
[97]
to really figure it out.
[98]
But let me show you some
examples of these stocks
[101]
that I'm invested in
just to give you an idea.
[103]
So the first one we're gonna look at is,
[105]
let's look at Spotify.
[107]
So I'm gonna click on my Spotify stock
[109]
and as you can see, if I
scroll down a little bit,
[111]
I've invested $10 and
I've had gains of $5.37.
[116]
So that looks like a small amount, right
[119]
but it's all dependent on
how much you've invested,
[122]
you've got to expect if
you invest a small amount,
[124]
then you're of course
gonna get a smaller return
[127]
the larger amount that you invest,
[128]
you're gonna get a larger return.
[130]
So it's a matter of how much
you want to risk with investing
[133]
in the stock market.
[134]
What's more important is what
is the percentage return.
[137]
That's essentially what really matters,
[139]
not necessarily the dollar
amount because like I said,
[142]
it's all relative to how much
you're actually investing.
[145]
So to figure out the return
based on a percentage,
[148]
what I can do is I can
click on those three dots
[151]
and this shows me what my gains
are at this point in time.
[154]
So my unrealized gains are
53.7% which is really good,
[160]
that is very, very good.
[161]
Even though I've only made $5.37,
[166]
those returns on a
percentage basis are so good.
[169]
Now, one thing to always remember
[171]
is that you don't actually
make money until you sell.
[174]
You also don't actually
lose money until you sell.
[177]
I'm gonna show you a
losing stock that they own
[180]
in just a minute and go over that.
[182]
So in this case, because I
haven't sold this stock yet,
[185]
my gains are unrealized,
[187]
that's why it says unrealized gains.
[189]
Now once I sell this stock,
[190]
that's when it's gonna be realized gains.
[193]
If that makes sense, if
it doesn't, like I said,
[195]
leave questions down in the comments below
[197]
and I'll be more than happy to
answer any questions for you.
[200]
So I'm gonna go head back.
[201]
So I'm gonna hit the X, I'm gonna show you
[203]
a losing stock that I have.
[204]
I'm gonna hit the back button again
[207]
and then I'm gonna find one,
[209]
actually I only have one
loser at this point in time,
[211]
believe it or not.
[213]
JPMorgan Chase, we're gonna click on that
[216]
and you can look up
top, see I have my port
[220]
or my stock is worth $2.96
[222]
'cause you can buy partial shares.
[224]
So we're gonna scroll
down and I've invested $3
[226]
and I've had a loss of $0.04.
[230]
Now, if I wanna see it
on a percentage basis,
[234]
I'm gonna go ahead and
click the three dots.
[237]
And this shows you my unrealized gains
[240]
but in this case I've had a loss,
[241]
that's why you see the arrow going down.
[244]
Now I am down 1.33% but once again,
[248]
I am not actually I have
not actually lost money yet,
[251]
I don't actually lose money until I sell.
[254]
Now, I'm personally a
buy and hold investor.
[256]
When I buy a stock, I expect
to hold it for a long time,
[260]
years and years, 10, 20,
30 years, a very long time.
[265]
So I am holding onto this stock
[267]
because I'm expecting it to go up,
[268]
I'm expecting it to go back up.
[270]
If you're getting some
value from this video,
[272]
please do me a huge favor and
smash that thumbs up button.
[275]
So because I'm expecting
you to go back up,
[277]
I am not selling the stock.
[278]
It's one thing to keep in mind.
[279]
Don't just sell stocks
because they're down,
[281]
hold onto them for as long as you can
[284]
'cause they're most
likely gonna go back up
[286]
as long as the company
doesn't go bankrupt,
[288]
I mean not all the time but usually
[290]
just as long as it's a
nice, strong stable company
[293]
that's been around for a long time,
[295]
then you're usually gonna be okay.
[297]
I don't wanna guarantee it
because it's never a guarantee
[300]
but try not to sell when a stock is down
[302]
because once again, that
is when you lose money.
[305]
The second way to make money
through Cash App investing
[307]
is through an investing in
a company we're buying stock
[310]
in a company that pays dividends.
[312]
So not all companies pay dividends.
[315]
Dividends are usually paid
out on a quarterly basis.
[318]
One quarter is three months
[320]
so there's four quarters within the year.
[322]
There is some companies will
pay a dividend once a month
[325]
or it's usually for most of them,
[328]
it's gonna be once a quarter.
[329]
Now all a dividend is
basically a company saying,
[334]
hey, when you own any shares of our stock,
[336]
we are gonna pay you a dividend.
[338]
So for example, if you own Coca Cola,
[341]
their dividend might be $0.30 per share.
[344]
So if you own one share of Coca Cola,
[346]
then they are gonna pay
you $0.30 every quarter
[349]
of the year to give you kind of a return.
[352]
So that's another way
that you can make money
[354]
through investing in
stocks through Cash App.
[357]
Now, if you own a partial share.
[359]
So for example, if you own
half a share of Coca Cola
[363]
and their dividend is $0.30,
[365]
then you will actually get $0.15.
[367]
So whatever fraction of that
of that stock that you own,
[371]
you'll get the same
fraction of the dividend.
[373]
So that's why you'll see a lot of people
[375]
that will invest are
essentially dividend investors.
[379]
So they're basically just
investing in companies
[381]
that pay dividends.
[382]
So one of the companies that I own
[384]
that pays a dividend is Apple.
[386]
So here is my shares worth
$20.30 worth of Apple.
[392]
So in this case I would get a dividend,
[394]
I'm not sure what it is.
[395]
I believe this payout is about
0.10, I think is what it is.
[398]
If I go to my history.
[401]
So if I click that clock right there,
[403]
then it should list where my
dividend was, there it is.
[406]
There's the Apple
dividend, it's not $0.10,
[408]
I guess it's $0.3.
[409]
So that's the amount of
dividend that I got paid
[412]
for the previous quarter.
[414]
So that's kind of cool and
that's another way to make money
[416]
and you'll see a lot of people investing
[418]
just for the dividends.
[419]
Once again, not all companies
are gonna pay dividends.
[423]
So keep that in mind and
I don't believe cash,
[425]
the Cash App investing app
actually shows you whether
[428]
or not a company pays a dividend.
[430]
So that might be something
that you're gonna have
[431]
to Google on your own, just to be sure
[434]
if you wanna free stock through Robinhood,
[436]
then use my link down in
the description to open
[438]
up a Robinhood account.
[439]
Once you do that and you deposit money,
[441]
you will get a free
stock through Robinhood.
