The World's Easiest Introduction to US Stocks

"The book that makes US stocks easy to read after reading the grandparents' book" is a US stock investment book published by Hans Media, following last year's "If you know the trend, you can see the US stocks you should buy now" and "US Stock Investment Bible."
Unlike the previous two titles, which were intended for investors with a certain level of knowledge and investment experience, this one lowers the barriers to investing in US stocks, making it easy for even beginners with little experience investing in US stocks to read, understand, and apply.
This book, which covers a wide range of topics, from why you should be interested in asset investment and why you should invest in "US stocks," to how to select good stocks and practical stock analysis, will serve as a detailed and friendly guide for those new to US stocks.

The answer to that question is already there if you look at the 'Richest People in the World' list published by [Forbes] every year.
All of the people on the top 10 list are businessmen or investors.
Not only that, 8 out of 10 are American, and 8 out of 10 are wealthy stockholders.
Unfortunately, salaried workers and self-employed people cannot afford to live on the rich list.

Dollar assets are particularly powerful during times of global economic crisis.
Because in times of crisis, investors around the world invest conservatively.
In times like these, money tends to flow into the dollar, which is considered the safest currency in the world.
This is why, whenever there is a global economic crisis, the value of the won falls and the value of the dollar rises.
Therefore, even if US stock prices fall, the value of the dollar rises, reducing the decline in asset value when converted to Korean Won.

From “6 Reasons Why You Should Start Right Now”

Just as one of the primary functions of clothing is to keep you warm, one of the primary functions of a business is to make money by leveraging its assets.
When buying warm clothes, we check how much wool or cashmere it contains.
Stocks also require you to know how to distinguish between wool and cashmere to find those that offer better returns.
However, most people start investing in stocks just by listening to what others say.
If you can read financial statements and interpret various indicators on your own, you'll be able to select companies suitable for investment without being swayed by the opinions of others.
Just like how you can tell that clothes with high wool content are warm in the winter.

Not only in love, but also in the business world, less competition makes it easier to do business.
Low competition intensity also means that the market is not yet mature and is in its early stages.
Being first in the market in its early stages allows you to be competitive on price (taking advantage of economies of scale) before other competitors enter the market.
Not only that, it also helps strengthen brand equity as it earns the title of “original” from consumers.
In this way, you can build a wall (economic moat) to prevent enemy invasion before the market grows.

In the United States, members of Congress are required to report any stock transactions within one month.
You must report not only your own transactions but also those of your family members.
As lawmakers engage in legislative activities, they often have access to valuable information. Therefore, checking their stock trading history can be a valuable resource when selecting future investment targets.

People have the illusion that if they have a few successes, they will continue to have success the next time.
When you first start investing in stocks and experience a few successes with small investments, you may end up investing a large amount of money in the future under the illusion that you will be successful in stocks again.
By the time you invest additional money, the market is likely to be overheated, increasing the likelihood of losses.

If studying business doesn't suit your aptitude or you don't have enough time to study due to your work life, it's better to invest in passive ETFs that track the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100 indexes rather than stocks and focus on your current job.
There is nothing more foolish than abandoning your job to invest in stocks.
Stock-tracking ETFs automatically diversify and rebalance your investments, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Among the 5 things to watch out for in US stocks,

Since most U.S. stocks pay dividends four times a year, you can receive dividends every month as long as you have three stocks whose dividend months don't overlap.
The appeal of dividends is that they can withstand bear markets well because dividends continue to be paid when the stock price falls.
In fact, many investors prefer a falling stock price because it allows them to buy more shares at a lower price.

Among those around me who have started investing in US stocks, there are many who watch YouTube videos related to US stocks.
However, it seems that not many people actually visit the website of the company they purchased and read the annual report.
While it's nice to watch videos kindly analyzed on YouTube while lying in bed, it's also a good idea to personally collect the company's IR data, which served as the basis for video production.
