Investing for Beginners - How I Make Millions from Stocks (Full Guide)

- I want you to imagine for a moment

that you started investing in 1985,

for a couple of years,

your money keeps going up and up, until...

- [Announcer] Black Monday.

- [Announcer 2] They're calling it the "Monday Massacre."

- [Announcer 3] Wall Street had its biggest one day drop

in history.

- [Announcer 4] The results of the decline

will hit millions of people.

- Up until this point, your friends probably thought

you were some kind of genius.

But now they're urging you to sell, but you ignore them,

and slowly but surely, the market recovers,

until...

- [Announcer] The NASDAQ index in free fall,

down nearly 10%.

- [Announcer 2] Driven by technology in general

and the internet in particular.

- [Announcer 3] Traders and investors, shell shocked.

- Your friends are on their knees begging you

to pull your money out.

Saying things like it's time to take your profits

before you lose everything.

But you hold strong

and things start going back up until you are hit with...

- It was one of the most profound events

in generations with huge consequences.

- Little did you know you are in for the ride of a lifetime,

until...

- [Announcer] The global economy will contract

by 3% this year.

The worst downturn since the Great Depression.

- Surely this is the end of the stock market,

but as things reopened,

the market soared 27% from its low, setting new records.

What a comeback.

Something I didn't mention

is the guy that invested his money in 1985 was actually me,

when I turned 18 years old.
