Will I be missing out on cheaper stock prices if I wait a few months to build up my capital?

Honestly, there needs to be a mindset shift here. Fear of "missing the boat" is why many investors make irrational, bad decisions. Always set rules for yourself when investing. I would say investing 1-2k at once should be the minimum amount.

Don't worry about missing the boat. If you're young, its much more important to create a criteria for investing. Also, you should probably focus on the big wins.

Opportunities are everywhere, and at any point in time.

I always share that there is no rush to participate in the market. The mindset to be in the market, the money management ways and the method you use to participate is important.

Will like to address the word "cheap".

Many times we are looking for "cheap" stuff. How do we define it as "cheap"?

It is cheap relative to its previous high? If that is the case, we have to ask why is it cheap? Is the company not growing in earnings? Is it losing money? Cheap cause of scandal? Or fraud? Is there something changing that causes the company to lose its competitive edge?

In fact, we at The Growth Hunter look at stocks that are ~10% off the highs. Most people will shun these stocks saying it is expensive.

What if we told you that the earnings of these stocks are in its growth stage and its earnings are increasing at least >20% and some have earnings increasing 100% or more? The current price where it is close to the high, is actually cheap because when the future earnings are announced, the price will rise even further and explosively.

See how the perspective of "cheap" differs?

Hope we offered you another lens to this, we share more on
