I'll start the ball rolling. Just started investing in the stock market 2 months ago (got in during the tech selloff).
Started by researching a lot into EV companies (first stock I bought was NIO), and I've learnt loads about where EVs (and "next-gen vehicles") are at now, things like L2 to 5 autonomous driving, robo-taxi services, battery & charging techniques, production line factors, etc.
Reading about companies also taught me quite abit about various business models and the regional startup scene (especially in Indonesia).
I've also recently gained interest in crypto, and as a CS student, blockchain is an interesting data structure to me. Got me thinking about NFTs and other possible use cases for decentralised databases.
How about y'all?

I think the art part of investing is coming in, slowly, but surely, over time. Whether to wait for one more day before entering, or transact immediately.
After investment is made, how to deal with it when everyone around is sort of losing their heads. How to say, "nope, I'm not chopping my own head off."
And in the case of things heading south, to have the guts to say, "I've made a mistake. Cut loss."

Invest in what you understand (circle of competence). Don't invest in what you don't. If you can't explain what you're investing into within 3 sentences or less to a friend who has 0 knowledge about what you're buying into, you may not fully understand the investment.
Don't act on a hot tip, do your own due diligence. One of the biggest mistakes I made was listening to my stock remiser who pitched penny chips and promised the moon. Always do your research.
Don't time the market; Insiders, fund managers, professionals who have access to information readily way before you do are already in it. Dollar cost averaging into solid businesses you believe in. Big boys are the ones who manipulate the share prices, don't act emotionally. They have unlimited resources to burn, we small frys don't.
