Topic: Where do you get your ideas for investments? (Read 2586 times)

For the information and ideas that I use when I'm trading Is i get it from the internet and by reading some news papers. Since the internet now a days holds the most information that Is available to almost everyone. There are also a lot of interviews and updates about what is the best stocks to buy or what are the current events that might affect the price of stocks. So that would be my answer for this question.

a.) Do you merely follow your own ideas?

I try to mix what I like from other sources with what I believe

b.) Do you follow some pundits?

Yes

c.) Who are these pundits?

Real value vs Current value

I got some idea from this forum,twitter,some proffesional investor/trader and from some youtube channel then i research it again.

For me it's not a place but rather people I trust. Telegram and twitter mostly. And trying to DMOR

1. From the internet.

2. Family and friends.

3. Social media.

my friend of mind teach how to become earner in the trading industries, he always guiding me what is the ways to make profit in trading, also i learn to get some ideas about trading in this forum i want to become independent for myself how to make more income here in bitcoin as investment.

Most I followed was the person who became successful here in this industry. Because they're the one knows much better than I am. But sometimes I explore myself for me to learn anyhow. So that I also grown up too, which is I read most of the time.

im getting some news from twitter and from th telegram signal channels ..i like that app giving more and more profit for me

It is actually a good thing to look up on the experience of leoole who had some time to deal with investments with the used of Bitcoin. Becasue it is the only thing that could assure us that there is really opportunity for us to earn and to have a profit with the used of Bitcoin in transactions , investments and trading a part of our ways of earn with the used of Bitcoin.

History is a valuable thing for us to consider. And for us to be a successful on the part of bitcoin investments and transaction we should always look up to the experience of other people for us to have an opportunity to earn and to have a profit in the future. It could be better if we will do research as part of out investments and tradings.

I will read related articles and do my own research and take other suggestions, after all, i will come one decision. Because if we are putting our money in some business, we need to check everything. Finally, i will go with my own idea.   

Yes it really has. It cares a lot from bottom to top of wild and interesting information about investment. Speaking of internet,it wasn't existed in ages for normally people have already few info depending on their status which they can adapt through the environment that they live in. Let's say the person has a skill in trading and it's by the genes itself. The fact when you yourself try to make up things about investment for sure you will always imagine things first. In modern days that we are up to,we are now being so dependent in the trends on social medias. Well,we can't even deny that because most of us are using technology for different purposes. No matter what you portray in your investment it the mind that has the power to create,specifically to undergo many things provided that bitcoin is involved in any investment.

It's better to have own ideas and much better if you'll do research before doing so. Investing can be secured way for future as long as we have found the best project to invest too.

I am totally agree with you,, I am searching the information about a Investment before I joining them,, the most important thing is a trusted team in their projects and this forum I think is good to have known about a Investment

The internet has a very wide array of information, testimonials, tips and the likes from people who've become successful with their investments. We all are using the internet on way or another everyday so why not try to get some ideas there.

I follow my own ideas and test it. I just invest a little to test it then enlarge it when it is gaining profit.
I read articles yes, but the comments there sometimes dont make any sense. Others just bring down one token for the profit of their own.
So it would be better if you have your own ideas.

Well like you, I get my ideas in investing through my friends. They are all well experienced than me and I'd rather listen to them as these are all their own real experience. They can give me do's and dont's in trading. Also before I invest in some coins I ask them if its good. Also I read some articles just for back up.

I am trying to look for more ideas here.
I have my own but it is not accurate yet. Still on a test and I dont want to lose money with greed.
Would rather take my time reading for now.

Ya I agree you.The forum is the best place to learn about bitcoin. Even you surf Internet websites like you tube To get some idea over bitcoin.Even you can check with the Google to get more details such as how to trade ,mining and how to convert the bitcoin to dollar or some other currency.

This forum is playing very fundamental role in spreading information about the bitcoins and other digital currencies. I personally prefer this forum over Google. It takes a lot of time to sort out the relevant and decent information when you search on Google. YouTube videos are also not bad.

Haha sounds funny, you rely on google for all affairs.
google is just a search tool, whatever you get there does not guarantee the truth. You must select some of the correct and qualified information.
this is an investment issue, but you do not look serious.

Well Idea is obviously mine's but i used to follow few people who mentored me few years back.It is because of their Teaching that i am successful in today's  trading world. Eventhough i would like to share few ideas of investment with you all. I am a technical analyst and i believe that technical analysts teaching and systems works in all department of products like stocks,forex,commodities and also Cryptocurrencies.

1) So the first thing i do is Follow the major events & announcements that is likely to affect that particular product or script, like Fed news,Annual
    General meeting for stocks,bank rates for forex and like that many more.Similarly Mark all the Events and announcements that are likely to affect
     CRYPTOCURRENCIES and try to trade those ups & downs for profit.

2) Better start connecting to Various blogs,websites,social media groups where you can gain tons of knowledge and ideas on investing.
    You can go for subscribing some journal or business magazine either for monthly or quarterly base ,just like i subscribe for Dalal street Quarterly
    magazine so that i get some valuable ideas for coming quarter months where to invest and how much should i invest, similarly search for some
     cryptocurrencies articles and magazine. 


3)  Follow some mentor or coach and follow his Thought processing just like i did few years back, there are chances that you will be having some idle in
     your mind, for example like warren buffet so try to get ideas from his thought processing and from his work processing.Think the way he thinks and
    act upon them.

Apart from all these i have my own system and set of rules so that i get enough ideas timely by updating them and making some tweaks in it.
   

I knew one man who has experienced about bitcoin 8 years.He is my boss.I learned about bitcoin form him.He first introduced me with bitcoin.I follow him and i collect idea from him for my investment. He regularly share his tips with me.I also follow this forum for knowing about investment.this forum is also a good place for getting idea about crypto that can help for investment.

I get my ideas for investment from my father he is a good bitcoin investor and he knows bitcoin for 2 or more years and he just introduced bitcoin for me a year ago but it is still a great opportunity for me because i already reached more than 200% for my investment.

I follow my own guts and ideas where i get more confidence than following others suggestion most of the time when you knew about the crypto market already then you will have the knowledge which coin you will buy and stock with. By experience you also learn everything you want to know also its more better if you have groups to share more ideas and to know what coins will be the next to pump up

Learning on others expeirence do really give us motivation unlike on having no inspiration at all.Getting ideas and technique from others isnt bad but these are really essential on our learning process on our trading career.
Seeing on other traders experiences and at the same time make self-learning on informations in the internet would really be a great combination.

Yes, I believe in that. Others experienced is the best motivation for us to continue our journey on trading. They are the best example for us to follow their footsteps on how they can successfully survived on the trading industry. Because trading is not a joke game this is the fact where you can't play it in your jokes way but in a very serious way especially it is money matter thingy. I don't tell that don't enjoy it or don't makes fun but don't do it to much. Believe other suggestion of some people who are very familiar on trading, they are the best teachers to listen for. Those successful man in trading are the best trader you can be if you listen to them carefully and if you learn from their experiences.

I strongly agree with you, like what you said I follow other's successful person. I'm here in the world of currency becausw of my friend, he is successful like other, they share their knowledge because they want to give an opportunity their freinds (I'm one of them). When I'm starting to join in bitcoin, he is my guide, like in joining in signature campaign, he gaves me an information on those campaign who possible become successful. I trust him and it result a huge income, till now I ask some advice and I learn with my own because I have an strategies like him.

Sometimes listening from the talk is not profitable and not a good thing to do for you since they might talk some fuds for their coin and you might gonna bag hold it if you buy some of those shitcoins they've told you that's why I'm doing a good research for myself so that I will not fall from bad talks but instead will earn from good information i get from those valid information.

I just read opinion from different persons and if they talk about a same coin then that means that coins is really profitable and good sign to put your investment.

I was investing on trading sites and I learned from my friend when I started. Then a few months I learned the best way of trading thru observations and questioning some traders in the sites. Moreover I learned more thru reading of blogs and some ideas in different threads in bitcointalk.

This forum has been facilitating people from a long time. The experienced people we have here, the expert traders, the master campaigners and businessmen they all made this platform a hub of information regarding bitcoins. Just try to learn the basics from here and practice.

Seeking help and guidelines from the experts will surely work better. They have experience, they had the good and bad times so they make you learn how to go up when are in those conditions. Keep searching all the stuff about trading and don’t hesitate to ask if you are on wrong side.

I get the inspiration to invest in bitcoin is from my friend.
he has experience and earnings in investing bitcoin.
and I did not follow some experts.

Me, i got more ideas in forum..I also have my own way to know or to learn how to invest and what are the principles to consider in investing. I also observe my sorroundings and economy and relate how the strategy of other investors do. But i know in myself that learning is not enough to avoid mistakes and through that mistakes I also learn more. And ofcourse we are in world of high technology thats why I also use internet to study and have another idea/ knowledge about investing.

I just get my ideas from this forum and thru my mistakes i am learning. My ideas and expertise are not enough to be call as an expert trader. I still need an idea from others.

I guess this is the first thing we should do upon investing on some scheme's around since we can surely get some feedbacks about those site we wish to go on. But if that site is hyip then we should think automatically that this one is scam since there's no legit hyip running around and all of them ended scamming people.

to me i study this forum and also get information about bitcoin from internet and social media in fact some time we get a very good prediction about the price of bitcoin and really make good profit from it. in fact there are so may experienced people who mostly give good prediction about bitcoin and by following them we can make good profit.

That's what most of people are doing. But I would suggest to do some research on your own too. There's another thing which some of the guys say that follow the majority of people if they are investing in some business you invest in it too but they advise so for ICOs mostly. Personally I follow some of my friends advice and do my own research and except for one or two instances I have been successful till now.

Yeah sort of I trust myself but I always see myself as backward in knowledge otherwise I might just get over excited and make mistakes. I usually blend my decisions with my friends and forum itself. In friends only two of them are there whom I trust a lot and they have been investing into crypto since long. So they have good knowledge about it. Rest is coming from the forum off course the only genuine source for best investment opportunities.

even this forum is the best place to study about bitcoin. a also get information about the market from my friends who have really good experience in trading because they have spend a lot of time in trading altcoin and therefore now they have good experience to given correct analysis about bitcoin .

The forum is full of very experienced people, but there are fudders and scammers too. So getting ideas from this forum might be riskful. You can try to follow some traders' tweets and analysis, this will give you important perspective for your trade.

a. Most of the time yes but not necessarilly especially if you're just a beginner, you'll mostly do basic strategies that most people do and that is not yours of course.

b. Sometimes but not all info that i get. i mostly follow guides not signals. the trick is extracting the essential part on someones guides and combining them

c. those people are anonymous and you can easily find them on forums like this. their identity is not that necessary in my opinion, its the content they'd produce

Yes that's right, I learn everything from trading through researching from google and watching in youtube, But not exactly everything, As you explore the threads in this forum some of the professional traders are posting their different experience on trading and you can also learn from it. Just read the comments in different threads and answer some of the questions, Its just like exchanging information.

I will second you. Investing in Crypto Currencies and that too in present age is something highly appreciated by the ones who are already into it. But still you can get many different sort of ideas by meeting and discussing with different people who are running their own business. They can certainly guide you in a best manner.

Well, let me tell you my story. I used to follow other's opinion while trading and lost my 100% capital most of the time in my early days of trading and investing so since then I decided to go with trial and error method.

I do search for the opinions and read the experience of the other traders but never copy them. I try to figure out various strategies by doing actual trades/investments in the smaller amount initially and then I increase the volume depending on the results. While talking about the idea, I would say I keep reading as much as I can and some news really makes me research about something.

i think number of ways there to learn about bitcoin investment and the best time to invest or to sell your bitcoin. i think by studying the market on regular bases one can in fact find out about the best time to invest money there or to sell it. you can also get good information about the market through internet and from your good and experienced friends.

Basically used to follow some friends and fellow investors to learn and gather their experience. Some peoples ideas did really helped me.
Currently I do my own research, and for few investments, I still seek advise from them. Now there are also various good news portal, which gives sufficient information and updates which is a great way to help myself pick my own investment option.

Just follow my experience and also the price chart. We know experience is the best teacher and chart is analyze, meaning another way to make decisions. When experience says " yes ", I see the chart, try to find buy and sell area. After that just manage my money and start trading. More practice makes a good experience, you should try it. Thank you.

Good to know that you have your friends to teach and back you up. I am just reading about investments here in this forum and on other sites but of course, someone's personal experience is a better reference plus the fact that it is your friend's experience. You are also able to personally asked them about it which is way better than trying to understand what you are reading. I guess I totally sound envious now but honestly I am. How I wish I have friends like yours but still I am also grateful that I was able to learn things here with a little help from other people whom I was also thankful.

Everything I do is based on my own research. Back in the days I had no one telling me what Bitcoin was or how it was working exactly - I had to figure it out all myself. In the same way, that goes up for trading this market as well. That however doesn't mean I don't like to read how others approach this market, set up their analysis, what their idiology is in crypto terms, etc. Funny thing is that as long term trader in this market, you automatically become more conservative since you have experienced all kinds of crashes, corrections, hacks, etc, but yet the 'rookies' with their over-enthusiastic-bullishness have been the ones with a more accurate prediction than all of those traders trying to properly analyse the market. This just shows that in some cases being too strict with your analysis doesn't always help you move forward as much as you were hoping for.

I start by reading and following other successful people for some time to see what they are getting and how is their investment going. After that I read as much information as possible. After that I carefully watch the market for some time to see how it's going. Finally I begin with small investment and continue increasing them if they get profitable. If I found the small investment bearing losses then I wont go with big investment before reading more and more. Always trust yourself but do follow the experts at the field as they will really help you some way better then you can.

Ideas for investment, i usually spend time reading on threads, and testimony's from my friends exposed for investing bitcoins.. Sound's great to hear from them because it formulates me another way to gain a good profit.. All day i want to be like them and i'm picturing them back from the beginning of their career in bitcoins are something a regular individual.. but now they are totally floating in a luxurious way of living..

there are many ways to get ideas for investment, you can google it but you get vast knowledge about altcoins at this forum as this forum is dedicated to crypto currencies and many seniors here to guide you. you get the latest and updated info here for approx. every altcoin.

Most self-proclaimed experts can be found on those on fake pump-dump groups so it's really hard to get ideas from the real experts. Most of these real experts don't give call or signals but only chart interpretations but I still consider it an idea.

As of this moment I strictly have a "crypto-only" investment rule since the boom of alts and bitcoins. I spend an ample amount of time reading some ANNs of alts that could be promising and might make it big like their big brother ETH and the likes.

Though I'm still invested into some local stocks, I'm long into bitcoin and alts and have majority of my money in them atm.

And I'm not really following some other investors closely. I might find a gem or two in their advices but blindly following others for your money is just straight up absurd.

I getting my ideas in this forum. I learned many ideas by reading different post in this forum. I have now many knowledge about investing bitcoins in this forum. I can say that the knowledge is the key to become successful.

I learned some of my investment ideas first from my mentor which is my friend he introduced to me all beautiful things about bitcoin and also he teach me how bitcoin works about investing, trading and the signature campaign then was completed and satisfied by always reading on this forum with the help of googles in the internet.

I feel that putting your money on other people's ideas defeats the purpose of investing and it's a good way to lose. Plus, you don't take accountability and responsibility for your investment so that if it fails, you blame something other than yourself (your own lack of research)

I do pay attention to what certain people think and try to curate that list of people so that I'm not listening to hogwash. But I give weight to my own due diligence above anyone else's!

Right, because i am also a hardworking man and learn investing, trading and gambling with all myself and now i am focusing in trading and other investments. This forum is really a big help i keep on learning by reading and applying that stratedgies or good suggestions that they said.

Before receive advice from someone, you should know in someday, this advice will be wrong and you will loss your money, not them. You cannot mad them because you also understand this is your decided when use your money and invest to market like their advice.

This forum is really a very great way of learning that how to invest and where to invest and what are the tricks to invest and earn a good profit. Here are a lot of people who are much expert in giving great ideas to earn great profits. Along with that I am also getting my own ideas to remain secured.

I do get my investments ideas here in the forum and other sources in the internet. I study first the profile of coin and look for positive review and check on the history of the market before i will decide to invest. I do carefully think if i am going to invest because as we all know that crypto currencies are volatile and risky specially alternative coins thats why we need to be careful and we have to know the risk we are taking.

For me I followed some advice from a friend who in trading with earning huge profit. Also, those selected persons which is well known in terms of trading basically knowledgeable. Above lists is good as you are comfortable on their decisions and usually its our decision making in investments.

All of the above are the valid sources of information for me, I have followed my instincts in the past and it paid of so also I have listened to suggestions that had either paid of or worse off. Its part of the risk of the game. For those I relied upon, it has been based on personal relationships and sometimes from someone comments in a thread right here on the forum.

I never get and take ideas from my friends and siblings. They generally know things wrongly and made me wrong investments in the past. I check some graphics provided by famous crypto traders. I also try to follor the last news about the projects. They all give me a perspective for next investments.

Many wallets? Do your mean is hold many altcoins and compare the profit between them? Indeed, if you have good PC and support use desktop wallet for hold your coins, that is best choice safest your funds.

Here i follows two things only for the trading and investment .
First thing is to follow myself that which is better for me According to plan , whether it is looking good for long term or not , overall i made analysis myself and figured out that should i invest or not .
And second thing i followed is of the experienced person who are doing these work in bulk , i mean when they invest in any project then i also asked them that should i invest also ? Is it profitable? , When they say yes , then i makes investment directly .
So overall i am not going according to my mind thinking and only following the all possible ways for the analysis before investment .

eeexactly:))

I have few background in investment because my mom use to run her own business and I think I learned it from her growing up also me and my friends are share same kind passion in investing our money so we share ideas about it.

I got the idea from a friend and then from my sibling. He is really good at trading and I'm still new in trading however,while observing him I get some point on it. He is using many wallets and different trading sites so that he can compare the profits of each coin. Then I conclude that there are some coins that have really high value and it's really good.

Picking out the best project to invest in might be difficult process especially if there is an existing project in same industry but it becomes easy to pick one if the project shows commitment and brings out something different from what already available on the market and a combination of other peoples ideas and my own help make that million dollar decision.

I was followed BTC trading group in face book and what's up for getting ideas  but I only believe that  my special ideas in investment .

This is what im doing too on which i dont really rush things up and i do go with my own decision without seeking information from other first.I do always find on reliable persons on a certain investment and i do tried out small amounts and wont really decide to put huge sums or going all in specially when im not really sure on the venture.If you do observe that it does give you some return and you already gained knowledge then that would be the time to make some add-ups.

Actually I got the ideas from this forum and a group I've joined about cryptocurrencies and what is the best thing to do if you have a capital and wanted to invest in certain coins for long term and honestly I was lucky to join that group and was able to profit from the coins I've invested. I never regretted the decision I made when I followed their advices and of course I followed my instincts too.

I follow Few Professional Traders and Try to follow their Thought processing and Ideas and I fine tune to My style and necessity. By the way it's been 6+ years for me Trading Stocks,forex,Commodities and just now started trading Bitcoins too  . I follow only one Trading Approach and that's Price Action with the support of Few indicators

 I Myself Get ideas from Different Communities like Nial Fuller Price Action Community, FinancialHubIndia, youtube videos, and many more paid courses.
Apart from this i also follow Price action Technical Indicators From Eminiwatch.com, those are my favourite picks and i have been using those Indicators from past few years and till now it was a quite decent Journey.

Currently, I am not thinking about investments. I am trying to learn how to involve a new business. I am looking for advisor to start a new trade.

All I did was reading here in the forum most of the time. Then, by doing I never thought that I was learning for so many thread section which I opened and read it, and sometimes I saved their advises, then I put  it in my mind. Until I found out to myself that I am one of the community here now giving some tips of advices to those newbie and other have a question.

Not all people can be really expert and this is quite true with trading especially with cryptocurrency. Maybe this is the reason why brokerage firms are now offering copy trading where we could just follow the trading moves of an expert or a well-known trader. However, we have to own our decisions even if we are just copying so no regrets later is allowed.

I have joined few telegram groups and there are some crypto experts who occasionally post their thoughts on different coin, Than I just check about those coin myself and try to verify every information posted on the group about that coin myself before investing in them.

Also I try to follow updates and news in crypto space to get idea about next possible pump. I go through every ICO and try to make a deep research about them before investing in them on first day/hour to get huge bonus.

I have no knowledge about investment.  But I am trying to know about investment. Google is my number one teacher for this.

I do what my mind says me to do. Whenever there is an investment scheme i get to know about i first make a research on it. I get my homework done and then i ask my friend who is an expert in bitcoin field and he is in this field from a long time. I consult him and then i rethink of the investment scheme and then decide what to do. Sometimes even if my friend says me to invest in a particular scheme i don't do it just because i don't feel good about the scheme. For instance, my friend said me to invest in bitconnect but i didn't because i feel it will have a price drop drastically when no one buys the tokens.

I make my own idea by reading from many sites and if I think the idea can be work then I will doing many things to make it happen. sometimes I read from other people to search inspiration for myself and I think so far its work for me and I can found many idea by reading their story. beside that, from reading many source, our skill and knowledge can increase and its help us as a way to make money in the end.

Before I follow my own ideas, that idea needs to build up and shaping it, I need lots and lots of reading, researching and asking questions related to that investment. I also visited some review site, but only to read what the viewers comment regarding what are they experienced in that particular investment. And I don't follow some investment guru, they talk the same ideas.

Yes , of course because i decide with my conclusion that came from ideas .

regarding the pundits i also follow if their are reputable people who are proven legitimate and after is deciding or concluding on that ideas that i know from them.

When I invest I followed myself much because hype just so trading own your risk.
I just believe in rumor from the company as well as good news with sayings in trading buy rumors sell the news. if you are going to believe you only own the background check on the company and their news updates. when you hold that you are happy with your investment

I'm​ just get my ideas in investment by exploring the bitcoin and become inspired to the people who earned a big money because of investment. It is hard to find a good online investment, there is many mistake that I have make in investment that leads me in loses of my money but because of that mistake I learned a lot of knowledge about investment in a good company that needed to research first before investing the money.

I learn from the mistakes that I have done by not repeating it again.
Asking people who have succeeded and know the tricks how to get a profit in investment.

I just get my ideas of investment because my friend taught me and he is always there to guide me since i wanted to earn money and i just follow what he always says to me, also from reading topics here in bitcoin talk about the currencies and other things that can help me to do my job also we had a group chat to contact everyone incase there an new coin to buy sharing toughts and ideas there are best.

Not just with forum but we can also get inspirations from the success of other mates who taught us how to be more patience on the holdings that we had on our investments. Their success made us stronger and no discouragements will change our decisions as long as were open minded and determined on every challenges that we had on the bitcoin investments that we had now. The group chats I had also helped me and my friends their had given advices that will surely be absorbed in my mind and everything will be worth useful.

Me too.  Before I invest and get profit I get profit and trade and profit from my profit.

Way to pad a cookie cutter shitpost.

Me, I follow my own ideas in the stock market,  and I'm not telling you scunts anything more, and it's not like anyone reads posts here anyway.   As for bitcoin, well, we're all in it together here and it's no secret.

I don't listen to idiots like Max Keiser and shit on YouTube.  You're guaranteed to lose money doing that.

For me honestly before i getting profit with my investment i just try and test and learn after some doing lots of investment  i learn that don't invest in any investment that gives you fast profit but the fact they are not paying a good profit in the end they turn into scam..
In trading if you invest in altcoin don't expect that you can make fast profit you always need to test and learn first before you can make a good profit  and you will get lots of idea while you are trading. if you don't test and afraid to lose you will not know if you can make profit or not..

I get a lot of information and ideas here in our forum and because of those knowledge that i got in this forum. I just use those ideas and tips for a conclusion and that conclusion give me a new idea that i can use for making good investment. This forum helps me a lot in making good decisions and i don't think that i can make a lot of profit without this forum.

I follow other's successful examples, but first I check if these people are really reliable. I don't follow my own knowledge at first point, because if I don't know about the investment how could I have knowledge about it?

And even believing other's suggestions you should start with a low investment, so you can take your own conclusions in practice if that is good or not for you.

Three brief questions:

a.) Do you merely follow your own ideas?

b.) Do you follow some pundits?

c.) Who are these pundits?

--------------------------

I do trust my own knowledge in linkage with the information posted / written / said by reliable persons such as Fred Ehrsam, Linda Xie, Naval Ravikant, Gav Would, Joseph Poon...

All the best
