This is my longest video ever -- and most educational. I hope that it can help anyone new out there really start to invest in the market :) ALSO: PLEASE BE AWARE OF SPAM COMMENTS. They are rampant bots that I try to filter out but they keep popping up!

Can i ask something without getting judged? I've spent almost two years trying to figure this out. I've paid for courses, switched strategies more times than I can count, and every time I think I've finally cracked it, the market proves me wrong. At this point I'm honestly wondering... do regular people actually become consistently profitable, or am I chasing something that's never going to happen?

I started investing stocks with $3,350, and since following my mentor for a few weeks now and I've gotten, $14579. It's a small gain to many but large to me as the more I get, the more I can do by staying consistent

Just started aggressively investing in stocks. Before I just spent everything on stuff I dont need. Now im going to try to put everything i dont need for bills into 10 to 20 different stocks. Has to be better than wasting it.

Amazing content as always, I started investing earlier 2026 now I just hit $350k. I spent years watching videos like this, wondering if it was ever actually going to happen for me or if I was just dreaming. Today, I finally logged in and saw that number. It's not about the flex; it's the fact that I can finally breathe and take care of my family forever. If you're at your lowest right now, please don't quit. Your life can look completely different a year from now if you stay focused. Sending this win to everyone who's still in the trenches.🌟

When I first started learning stocks, I honestly felt lost. Learning from Matthew J. Holbrook helped me understand market trends, entries, exits, and risk management in a much simpler way. I like that he explains the reasoning instead of just saying what to buy.

I came in clueless and left feeling like a professor.

My question is where could I possibly find a high yield saving account, Roth IRA account, or anything else with an APR of 8%. Highest I’ve seen is 4.2%

3:00 - That example about putting a million in a savings account really hits home. Earning $100 a year on that much money is wild. It definitely drives home the point that letting money sit isn't the smartest move.

The production quality is very impressive It made my day better.

@pathWealthMindset 1 year ago

This is the most in-depth and informative video I’ve ever made. I hope it serves as a valuable guide for anyone new to investing in the market.

I know some people will not believe this, but it's my reality: I just hit $2M today. I spent years watching videos like this, wondering if it was ever actually going to happen for me or if I was just dreaming. Today, I finally logged in and saw that number. It's not about the flex; it's the fact that I can finally breathe and take care of my family forever. If you're at your lowest right now, please don't quit. Your life can look completely different a year from now if you stay focused. Sending this win to everyone who's still in the trenches.🌟⭐️
