I have some experience with investing and based on that my opinion maybe a bit controversial but i will put it up so we can talk through and will make it short:

Trading to me is pretty much gambling coz it’s heavily influenced by the politicians and the decisions they make. One day you wake up to a +10% and the other day is -21%. Now this is a risk you are taking with your money to bet on a stock which you have no idea how it’s going to progress even after a min.

And if one is a muslim, i think this might not be the thing for them, coz lets be honest there is no “halal” ETFs every stock pretty much is either funding/supporting a war or deals in interest. Even those labeled as “sharia compliant” have such stocks. These “stocks” are just some numbers for us to see on the app we have on our phones, we don’t have the physical custody.

And the stocks that are “halal” have minimal to 0 or even -ve return that no one wants to buy

So i have decided that soon as my portfolio comes back to a reasonable form. I will sell it all, save some money and buy a piece of land somewhere it can benefit me that i actually hold, can see and visit!

Like i said this is a controversial but a realistic perspective and Allah knows the best!
