  1. Stock investing 101: The stock market is largely driven by forward-looking corporate profit potentials. The main reason US stocks have done so well for 15 years straight is because the profit growth has been very good. So while the constant up and to the right price moment does seem unreal to some, it has so far been justified by business fundamentals. I came from china to study in the US and started investing in US stockmarket since 2011, and there has been yearly warnings about stock market just can't keep going up like this starting in 2017 and yet the corporate profit always came in better than expected, so those people who stopped investing missed out on hundreds % of gains. Remember 3 things: stocks will always go up in the long run because it's a measure of corporate profit potential, and that always goes up as mankind continues to develop new technologies that increase overall productivity. So any pullback will always be temporary unless a world ending event like nuclear war or astroid collison. (2) diversify your investments to decrease risk. Don't just buy US stocks, but also international ones. Also invest in bonds, realestate, commodities, ect . (3) you can't time the stock stock market, as no one knows when growth or crash will start or end until it has already happened, so keep buying little bit every month and invest for the long run in humanity's long term advancement.

  2. @0:52. To be fair, the foreign exchange rate has NEVER been used to adjust for stock market performances. Please do not use that reason now. That's manipulatinf data to mislead people. Economists do NOT add extra % to the stockmarket performance last year when dollars were getting stronger in 2024, and they are not subtracting that when it's weakening in 2025.
