Hello everyone,
First of all, let me introduce myself: I'm Robin, 20 years old and I'm just about to finish my apprenticeship. I have already been involved in crypto and share trading for about 1-2 years on and off and have also made small investments, which I would now like to expand and deepen after completing my education.
As I am still pretty much at the beginning, I would like to ask you for tips and advice.
In order to learn more in general, I would also like to buy a book or two on the subject of investing. This brings me to my first question:
- Can you guys recommend any books or other resources? Of course you can find a lot on the internet, but unfortunately there is also a lot of misleading information or products that are supposed to make money but ultimately don't help. I'm also simply missing some technical terms and certainly some basic knowledge that I would like to learn and understand before I get fully involved with investing.
I also have other questions that some of you with more experience may be able to answer better and more easily:
- Why can it be advantageous to buy shares/stocks of a company (e.g. $NOVO B (-0,7%) ) despite a constantly falling share price?
I have already read individual posts on this subject and have noticed that opinions on the company are sometimes very divided. However, I am increasingly seeing that many investors are using it to expand or further increase their portfolio.
- How do you analyze shares comprehensively before deciding to invest?
This is a very general question, so the answer here is probably too broad. I would therefore like to refer back to my first question about books. Surely there are books, platforms, social media channels, etc. that go into this in depth and can explain it in the best possible way. I would be very grateful for any suggestions or experiences.
- Why are some shares (e.g. $VOW (+0,86%) ) are not always in such high demand despite their high dividend yield?
I follow news and I am aware that VW is not the best choice at the moment (e-car demand, profit slump, ...). In my opinion, it is a stable company with a high dividend yield and yet is not as sought after as expected. Are there specific reasons for this or is it just due to the current situation?
- Conversely, there are shares (e.g. $BLK , $GOOGL (-1,98%) ) that are in greater demand despite a comparatively low dividend yield. Are we simply expecting an increase in the share price or why are such shares also in high demand when you can simply buy shares with a high dividend yield?
- Finally, I have a question about the share portfolio. It is of course advantageous to diversify your investments (ETFs, shares, crypto). There are a lot of large companies in various sectors in which you can buy shares. Do you have any recommendations for a good allocation so that it is not too one-sided in one area?
Of course, I could find all this out myself through my own research & and I would like to do that - but a little help with tips & advice would help me a lot to get started.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your answers :)
