Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

How do you suggest one start with investing?

ETF index funds that are heavily diversified across both sectors and geographic regions are a great place to start - just make sure the total expense ratio stays below something like 0.3%.

Personally, I’ve set mine to automatically invest €500 each month, regardless of what the market is doing. I never try to time it - I just keep buying and never sell. The ones I'm personally buying are iShares EUNL and IS3N with 80/20 distribution.
