Hello everyone! I really wanted to delve into the connection between the stock market and our fears. It took me three years to build the courage to make my first investment in the stock market- and I was still petrified. What if I lose all my hard earned money?! I didn’t understand that there are metrics used to determine whether or not the market would be valuable for me in the long term. I never saw anyone discuss the market- let alone have money saved for anything but necessities. Anything I read discussed the Great Depression, Eron, and the Great Recession. It felt elusive, dark and confusing. I discuss these feelings and more with Kevin Matthews II of Building Bread. Kevin uses his knowledge to teach the basics of stock market investing to those who didn’t grow up with access to the market. He teaches classes everyday on his Instagram account @buildingbread. One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation wit h him is that emotions don’t do math! If the chart squiggles up over time, that means the stock will continue to squiggle up once you get your money in the game. The stock market can still be scary and confusing, but it’s important to start investing despite your fears. I really do believe the silent majority is making plenty money from investing and isn’t commenting simply because the stock market is doing what it’s supposed to do- make them easy money.
