[00:01] you see, when you invest your money in the stock market, you are actually buying shares of a company, which means that you essentially own a small portion of that company, and you can participate in the growth of that company. And the [00:15] of the best investment for long-term there will be ups and downs in the short term in the stock market, the stock market has consistently trended in the upward direction over decades, which [00:28] means that only people who are patient can actually make a lot of money from to make fast money, this one is not for you at all. And for most people, investing in stocks, I would advise that you invest your money in index funds or [00:42] maybe ETFs. ETFs means exchange-traded funds. And these are easy ways to rather than you trying to pick individual stocks to buy and invest in, index funds allow you to invest in hundreds or maybe thousands of companies [00:57] different index funds. Like, for example, one index funds can contain 100 that index funds, it means that you are investing in the 100 companies that are in that index funds all at once. And this is like a smart way to actually [01:12] diversify your investment in the stock market. So, for example, if you invest your money in an index fund that has 100 companies, at least out of all these 100 them are not doing well, then the remaining 80 companies should be doing [01:26] well. I hope you get it. So, that way you are not losing your money.
