I finally started investing my savings. I did the absolute minimum amount of research. Opened a broker account a week ago. Yolo'd some money into the $BBBY memestock. Went up over 200% in a couple of days, crashed hard and I pulled out with hardly any losses! Put most of my money into a world ETF which has been steadily losing a percentage point every day for the past 6 days.
It's supposed to be long term so I shouldn't even be checking it. Idk how smart it is to invest into the world economy right now, but I convinced myself that since every generation in recorded history thought the world was going to end on their watch, that my perception is probably warped and it will only crash and burn a little but stonks might still go up.
I think I might actually be better off betting on elections on betfair. Some very special people on there by the looks of it.
