To earn a regular income out of it steadily is even harder. Long term (10, 20 years +) is more straight forward. Invest in companies whose products you love to use.

There is no getting rich quick and most investors lose their money looking for that.

trade stocks that are under/over valued based on their prospectus and learn to evaluate spreadsheets and ratios ie ROE, EV, book value, P/E, debt-equity etc like its nobody's business

also learn how the market has reacted historically in different market scenarios which may help you identify trends

major key to success as DJ Khaled would say
they dont want you to win


invest in something you understand but also at a price that makes sense! doing one or the other will straight up screw you over.

keep in mind, if you ask 10 different people, you will get 10 different investment philosophies. listen to each and evaluate against your own criteria.. no copy and paste shit.

keep investing boring. because boring works.
