I've been blessed with whatever the opposite of a gambler's mindset is. When I think of investing/trading, all I see in my mind's eye is me opening my account to massive losses and feeling terrible about it.

I can't buy crypto because I never linked a bank to Robinhood and the only way to put USD in my Kraken is via wire.

That isn't how buying stock works. If it goes down in value you don't owe someone money, its simply valued less.

as pookbear pointed out, you dont have to sell when the price goes down. one of the simplest ways to invest is to just buy an index fund and hold it. you would actually generate cash while doing this because it would pay dividends (and far more than you would get from leaving it as cash in the bank)

I just do this because I'm lazy, and the dividends get reinvested

I wish I had gotten buttcoin in 2013, and then magically forgot until today, and then remembered, and then also remembered my password, and also not had my e-wallet stolen, and then sold it all today

Just #YOLO and invest it all in Dogecoin, and maybe some Cardano as a safe side investment.

can you do this with Robinhood or does it have to be through a legit brokerage? I’ve seen indexes on RH but only the crazed ones.

i dont know about robinhood but unless you want to buy crypto you should open an account at Fidelity, Schwab, TD Ameritrade, or any other mainstream brokerage. equity trades should be free and you have access to people who can actually help you with your account 24/7. from what i understand robinhood's customer service is poo poo or non-existent.

time in the market is what generates results over the long run. several years down the line youll be glad you bought in.

i laughed at dave portnoy back in june 2020 and figured he'd eat poo poo. well... who's laughing now (not me)

he announced that he was going to invest half a million on 3/23 of last year, which was the absolute bottom of the market, and somehow he still lost money day trading

like assuming he bought in on 3/23 he could have thrown darts at a wall covered with random S&P 500 stocks and made money
