EP47: 5 Reasons You're Scared to Invest on Your Own

The Simply Investing Dividend Podcast

What's holding you back from investing, even though you know it could lead to financial freedom? Today I'm going to address these fears, from the unpredictability of the stock market, to the psychological factors like greed, fear, and impatience that often cause irrational investing decisions. Using real-life examples, such as the fluctuations in Pepsi's stock price, I'm highlighting the importance of a long-term approach and the reality that stock prices do fluctuate. I also dissect the concept of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), which can push individuals to buy stocks when prices are high.
I also cover the following topics in this episode:
- Risk Aversion
- Pepsi stock's 20 year performance
- Psychological Factors
- Lack of Time
- Perceived Complexity
- How a $2775 investment in McDonald's grew to over $34K
- Lack of knowledge & Confidence
