Ep 6. The Art and Science of Portfolio Structure
Manage episode 295633761 series 2931434
Kristen has gotten further into crypto, but isn’t really sure what she is doing. Fortunately she only invested $300, because she bought in right at the peak and lost 33% of her profit overnight(Recorded 5/21/21 ). FOMO is real! Kristen also downloaded her first trading app and realized there is much more to learn before making moves!
Colby introduces the panic/denial continuum and they discuss the market manipulation at play in social media. As the old adage goes “When other people are fearful, be greedy; when everybody is greedy, be fearful”. Now that Kristen has downloaded a trading app, and dipped her toes into some speculative crypto plays, Colby introduces the next steps of the process: determining portfolio structure and investment goals.
It’s time to start thinking about investment sectors of interest, learning to identify trends, and determining time frames for investments(looking at you, capital gains tax!).
