How did I start?It all started in 2019, when I discovered the Etoro trading platform and decided to get my chances in investing. The great advantage of the platform was the $100,000 virtual portfolio which allowed me to make some experiments before loading real money.I didn’t go well, but I learned some important lessons without losing anything. I recommend any new investor to do the same, try it as a game first.After about 6 months, I decided to put it the first $200 and use them for copy trading, by allocating them to a Popular Investor. It went quite good, but shortly, I felt call to add more funds and play by myself.The first months went not bad at all, and I applied for the Popular Investor program by myself. It went even better and my copiers were growing and growing. But it wasn’t to last long, as the Covid crisis came and I had a painful red month of March when many of the copiers left.It was followed by a small depression, but after that I started to build my portfolio again, using various strategies, and I finished the year 2020 with about +42% performance. Meanwhile, I of course added new funds from time to time, as the Popular Investor program also increased the demands of own equity.It was far from being a passive incomeAll this time, including the year 2021 up to date, I was researching and studying various strategies and approaches. I got my premium subscription on SeekingAlpha and Investing.com and read many useful articles there. I’ve also read a couple of books on accounting and investing, such as Big Short, 50 Economics Classics, A Random Walk Down Wall Street, The 3% Signal, Learn to Earn and others.I found that readings extremely useful. Many times there are contradictory opinions, but this is even better, because this allows you to see many sides of the thing, and draw your own conclusion.Technical Analysis was not lacking, of course. I spend many precious hours by experimenting and analyzing stocks and portfolios on Tradingview and Portfoliovisualizer.This is what I advise you also to do. Invest in yourself first by reading and studying. Knowledge is for sure your most valuable asset.And this what I would like to help you withI started my website and my Youtube channel to provide some educational material and share some insights by creating stock analysis based on fundamental and technical analysis.Meanwhile, you are invited to also follow my personal investment journey. My Etoro Popular Investor account is Artenie and the non-PI account is Alex_Invest1992.If you visit my profile, you will see that I am by far not the best PI, but also by far not the worst.So, what will you find on my website?Most of the useful posts are on the blog of course. The blog is divided in many sections, as it is also the investment world. You will find separated categories for Value Stocks, Growth Stocks, Dividend Stocks and Technical Analysis, but also a dedicated category for Educational Material. Feel free to also visit my Youtube channel.I am not searching and neither does this site provide get rich quick schemes or focuses on just on how to make money online. It will most probably not include any Crypto analysis or related articles as well.On the other hand it is neither focused on long term strategies only, so it doesn’t just provides hints on how to retire rich.It is simply, investing from passion. Best strategy is a combined strategy, so to say: “the golden middle”.Why am I investing?Of course there is the beautiful dream about 6 or 7 digits in your account, but this is not the scope. The intension is to create a source of passive income, which would allow me to work only for a limited amount of time on the job I love and dedicate most of my time to my family, performing other passions of mine, such as traveling, learning foreign languages, and many other ideas which might come once I reach the financial freedom.Who writes all this stuff?I write a lot of the content by myself, of course. But this is not sufficient for sustaining a real blog. This is why I am searching for other passionate people who want to express them by writing stock analyses for a particular category. That helps to diversify and enrich the content provided to you.If you would like to become a collaborator, feel free to write me. If not, I encourage you to simply subscribe and enjoy the existing and the upcoming content.

Introduction
Everyone dreams of living a financially secure life. Unfortunately, that goal is at odds with the world we live in. Even if you start working right after college, or even before it, by the time you reach your late 30s, there's a good chance your net worth will be negative. If not negative, chances are it won't be very high either.
Most people believe financial security means saving as much as possible. In reality, that's not entirely true. Financial security is a combination of saving and investing.
If you just save, there's a good chance you will have to work till your last day. But when you invest, your money grows by itself! And when you add regular investments to your savings, you can take control of your life and plan it.
In this book, I am going to walk you pragmatically through the basic aspects. After reading it, you will be familiar with the most used concepts, and you will have the first strategy.

3-W of investment Why Where When
I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful." — Warren Buffett
Why to invest
B y the definition, investing is the act of allocating resources, usually money, to generate an income or profit.
Although it might be obvious why you should invest, let’s examine this as a form of financial wisdom, because of several factors:
First of all, investing allows you to minimize the impact or overcome inflation. If you simply keep your money in your pocket or the bank account it loses its effective value with time. That means, as time passes, you can buy less and less with the same amount of dollars.
Here is a nice picture from investopedia.com illustrating the effect of inflation on a
