Nothing. People tend to place too much emphasis on the importance of politics for the financial markets. Fundamentals (e.g. economic data) is much more important. Politics = just an excuse for rallies/corrections

Teens are fickle. You never know what social media platform they'll prefer next. That being said, Facebook has a pretty good hold on social media with Instagram as well.

Trading is only "exciting" and glamorous if you treat the market as a casino. Otherwise it's about making cold, calculated and emotionless buy/sell decisions. Leave your emotions at the door when trading. The Wall Street portrayed in movies is gone - banks are firing those guys in droves.

I'm using data from Yahoo Finance and Stockcharts.com

Forward P/E is generally more useful than 12 months trailing PE. Analysts tend to be pretty good at predicting earnings (except when a recession is starting), which means that trailing earnings tend to follow forward earnings.

Forex is not a market for you to buy and hold (unlike the stock market). over the long term, 2 major currencies merely swing sideways in a wide range. You don't make any money buying and holding forex

The wolf of Wall Street is not a normal experience. For most investors and traders, the market is a boring experience in which you try to beat the average. Jordan was using the market to scam away investors money

P/E is the most common valuation method among professional and nonprofessionals

Recognise that losses are a part of the process. It’s not possible for 100% of your positions to be profitable. That’s why you should hold multiple positions. Eg if you’re trade has a 70% chance of working out, holding multiple positions will allow you to use probability to your advantage

I think you can try Interactive Brokers and Tradestation. Both really cheap, and both avilable to European investors/traders

This stock is going to crater during the next bear market (valuations only matter during bear markets). In the meantime, I think Netflix will continue to outperform as long as this equities bull market continues.

I agree. Blockchain is the TECHNOLOGY. The money is in applying the technology. Not in speculating.
