Channel: unknown

it's been a wild ride for the past few days my portfolio has been up and down
[4]
in the hundreds of dollars this is the first time I've seen so much volatility
[10]
in the stock market since 2018 which is when I first started investing not only
[14]
that but Bitcoin also hit eight thousand dollars which is incredibly insane so
[19]
what is better to invest in stocks versus cryptocurrency welcome back to
[26]
the channel my name is Bruce Wang I am an investor in stocks and also
[31]
cryptocurrency I mostly do all my trading on their brokerage Robinhood if
[35]
you guys want to check that out you can use the links in the description I have
[38]
everything in the links in the description if you guys want to check
[40]
out anything when it comes to my channel so which is better to invest in
[45]
cryptocurrency vs. stocks for the last eight months or so I've been strictly
[48]
investing only in stocks and prior to investing in stocks I also invested in
[54]
cryptocurrency my main holdings are just a bit point and sum all coins so let's
[59]
jump right into the portfolio so I can show you exactly what I'm talking about
[63]
on Monday we experienced one of the craziest sell offs in the fee past few
[67]
months ever since I started investing in stocks in 2018 it's been the biggest
[72]
sell-off that I've ever seen so currently my rabbit portfolio is four
[76]
thousand four hundred forty five dollars I already invested my $100 for this week
[82]
in my robinette challenges if you guys are interested in the rapid challenge
[86]
I'll link I'll link it in the card so you guys can go check that out but but
[89]
basically I invest $100 every single week into my portfolio I'm up $100 on
[94]
the day I'm very excited about that because yesterday let's take a look at
[98]
the week chart I was down over $100 at one point so basically I'm back to
[104]
break-even since I was down $100 yesterday and that just goes to show you
[108]
that you should not panic too much when the stock market is so volatile and if
[114]
you don't really know what you want to do when you see that much volatility
[118]
most likely you should just not do anything at all when it comes to
[122]
investing in stocks or encrypted currency don't let your emotions get
[127]
involved that is a pro tip because because when you see a crazy sell-off
[132]
you one of your first instincts is probably you just want to sell
[136]
everything in your portfolio off so you don't lose any more value of your
[141]
portfolio but that is not a great idea in my opinion so there's a lot of people
[146]
coming to my channel now asking me a lot about dividends I just want to clear
[149]
this out really quickly for anybody to receive a dividend they have to hold the
[153]
stock by the ex-dividend date you can go on to like a Nasdaq com to find out all
[159]
that information and when it comes to my strategy personally I'm a buy and hold
[163]
type of investor so I'm buying these stocks I'm gonna be holding them for a
[167]
long time and these stocks will be paying me dividends over that time so
[171]
looking through my pending dividends you can see that let's take a look at one of
[175]
my bigger ones P SEC I hold I have 200 shares of P SEC and each month this
[182]
stock is gonna pay me 6 cents for every single share so that's so that's 12
[186]
dollars for this one stock this is a special type of stock where it actually
[190]
pays you out monthly a more standard stock is Starbucks this stock is gonna
[195]
be paying me 36 cents for every share that I have and I have five shares so
[200]
that's one dollar and eighty cents so everybody knows what Starbucks is this
[204]
stock pays you dividends every so you have to hold that stock for a decent
[211]
amount of time for you guys to receive any type of dividends and these
[216]
dividends will go right into your account after they're paid out on their
[220]
payout date so when it comes to cryptocurrency Bitcoin just hit $8,000 I
[225]
think it was just yesterday so there's been a ridiculous craze where everybody
[229]
wants to start buying in because of FOMO basically FOMO stands for fear of
[235]
missing out this term basically means that investors are fearful of missing
[241]
out on the profits if they do not decide to jump in on a buying Bitcoin at the
[246]
moment if you're deciding to invest because of FOMO that is probably the
[250]
number one way to lose money I don't recommend buying anything off of the
[256]
fear of missing out this is not a good strategy at all but you know I've had
[262]
these feelings before I've also had these feelings
[265]
or in 2017 where we're in 2017 I went through the entire cryptocurrency craze
[271]
where Bitcoin was that I bought in Bitcoin when I was like at $4,000 I
[277]
wrote up the price all the way to like 18,000 to that $20,000 and it would have
[283]
been smart of me to you know take profits at 18,000 but I didn't take
[288]
profits as much as I wanted to and I also held throughout 2018 to where
[295]
Bitcoin went all the way back down to you know four thousand three thousand
[299]
dollars so I've seen it all when it comes to cryptocurrency and I feel like
[304]
we're gonna be going through something very similar again I'm not sure if
[309]
Bitcoin will hit twenty thousand dollars again but I don't think that
[312]
cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is a great long-term strategy just because I've
[316]
seen that in crypto there is a lot of scams there's a lot of pricing
[322]
manipulation when it comes to some of the crypto exchanges and yeah and the
[327]
price fluctuation and volatility is just it's just too risky for me at the moment
[333]
I'm like you know I'm 30 I'm over 30 years old and I don't want to see this
[339]
type of volatility when it comes to my investments I don't want my investments
[343]
to go up and down ten ten percent on a get on any given day and that is why I
[349]
don't invest in cryptocurrency anymore but that doesn't mean that I don't still
[353]
hold on to my cryptocurrency one thing that I'm considering and it's probably a
[358]
really good idea is that I'll be taking profits whenever Bitcoin hits all these
[362]
milestones like 8,000 9,000 10,000 I'll probably just start to sell off some of
[368]
my cryptocurrency holdings this is very similar to dollar cost averaging you can
[373]
dollar cost average your way down and you can dollar cost average your way up
[376]
I don't know if there is another term for dollar cost averaging on the selling
[381]
side but I will be taking profits whenever I can so if there's anybody out
[385]
there that's on the fence for wanting to invest into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency
[390]
in general I would say that just be very careful if you decide to do it because
[395]
crypto is the most of all acet out there and you can lose a lot of
[401]
money if you decide to invest encrypts it right now if you're the type of
[404]
investor that doesn't really like risk and it's like closer to retiring or
[408]
closer to reaching these like financial retirement goals cryptocurrency is not
[413]
gonna be for you so I want to show you guys some proof that I I am also
[419]
invested into cryptocurrency right now I'm showing you the by Nance app and if
[424]
you can take a look here my portfolio is worth like over $9,000 now and if you
[429]
guys saw this portfolio like one month ago or two months ago this was a very
[432]
depressing portfolio to look at it was probably under like four or five
[436]
thousand dollars but because of the new price action my portfolio now is worth
[441]
over $9,000 and like I was trying to say about my cryptocurrency strategy I'll be
[445]
taking profits every time Bitcoin hits these milestones 8,000
[449]
9,000 10,000 this is probably the easiest way for me to make some money
[454]
when it comes to my Bitcoin because because honestly I've stopped trading
[457]
when it comes to Bitcoin sense since 2018 when it comes to stocks and
[462]
cryptocurrency things can on a day-to-day basis things will get
[467]
volatile you can see like one or two percent drops in stocks and you can see
[471]
10 percent to 20 percent drops in a cryptocurrency and if you and if you're
[476]
able to control your emotions and not panic cells during that time you'll be
[480]
able to not lose a lot of money and that also goes for a lot of investments like
[485]
stocks or real estate or even cryptocurrency as well you guys do not
[489]
want to fall into those types of investments if that asset is above
[493]
market value or if it's like very overpriced just don't buy it you rather
[499]
buy an asset on a good deal than fomo into that asset let's answer some of the
[506]
common questions that I get from my youtube channel let's go with this one
[510]
and I get a lot of questions when it comes to Bitcoin mining cryptocurrency
[515]
mining so I just want to set this straight cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is
[520]
still not profitable to mine even at $8,000 I don't know how to make you guys
[525]
understand that it is not worth the it is not worth the binding mining
[531]
equipment you have to be in a very rare situation where this actually works out
[536]
for you and that situation is that you have free electricity and 99% of the
[542]
people out there do not have free electricity so just don't waste your
[544]
time and don't waste your money buying equipment to start mining Bitcoin
[548]
because the price is going up just to $8,000 so this last question is not
[552]
really a question but I always get asked about my clothes that I wear right now
[557]
I'm not wearing a NASA shirt but whenever I do wear my NASA shirt
[561]
everyone's always wondering why am i wearing it I wish that I was actually
[566]
working for NASA but no I'm not an astronaut or anything like that I just
[570]
love space exploration and I just want to show my support from them
[575]
