Trading

Why is it not a real investment?

Especially in this historical period, I have received several calls from trading companies to start investing with them in stocks, crypto, commodities, etc. Unfortunately for them, I always refused. You should do it too.

Why?

Because a real investment has no third parties. When you give money in exchange for a roi and it is not you who directly deliver your money to the second party, you will go to enrich the broker, not you.
In fact, brokers, thanks to traders’ wallets, get cash, while theirs is invisible money that increases or decreases, without their control, without rational and proven criteria.Not to mention the fact that, if you want to collect your capital gain or simply withdraw the money from the wallet, you are required to present a justification and pay a nice commission. Always remember that real risk capital is never taxed, as Robert Kiyosaki also explains.

Then we should ask ourselves:

  • What are they really offering us?
  • What do they own?
  • What am I gonna be putting my money here for?
  • How do all those charts that fluctuate over time really work?

To fully understand what I mean, watch the movie "The Wolves of Wallstreet" (if you haven’t already, do it!). It is one of my favorite films, and I think it has a lot to teach, both about us as beings, able to create and create the life we ​​dream of, but also about high finance and that kind of capitalism not ethical that must be eradicated. Trading is nothing more than a bet. What are you betting on? You bet on which trade the average traders will put their money into. The value of a trade increases, if others are positive and “invest” in that same trade, but if they are caught by the negativity and rather than buying, they will sell, you will see that you are losing money, look a bit. It is a scheme where society is the real winner.

Money follows emotions is well known. But a real investment, in fact, brings wealth thanks to rationality, not irrationality.

If there are no analyzes to be carried out, if there is nothing measurable, explainable, if you do not have power and control, if there are no assets, it is not a real investment. Take a test. If you were to be contacted by a broker, ask him why if the investment he is offering you is so unmissable, he is still working for his boss and does not live on income? Ask him if he also invests in this way and have him prove it. You’ll see, they probably don’t know anything about economics and finance either.

Rather than trading, work to create and acquire real assets.

For example, Invictus Project is an asset. For more info, read https://mattiadigiovacchino.medium.com/a-step-forward-towards-the-creative-society-5ed6bfd59a55 or connect on Linkedin.

Train your financial iq!

Your house is not an asset.
