New to investing

your goal in life is to make profits with the least effort/capital

most successful businesses revolve around
>buy low price shit
>hype your shit (i.e. value-add, PR, market)
>sell low price shit when everyone bought your bullshit

remember the mantra of greed is good is BULLSHIT

set an immoveable target (don't let current events affect your goals)

set an exit strategy, plan B

no risk no reward but make sure you set yourself up for failure before proceeding
