I'm absolutely shocked that this video has over 7 million views while the Peter Lynch video on the same topic has less than half. Given that Peter Lynch achieved 2800% returns for his investors, that is where I would start. That said, before I became a financial advisor, I simply bought a stock in a company that was becoming more popular, Apple. Watch that stock and see how the share price reacts to what happens in the economy. You will lear more from that than from any video. It will require discipline to stick with it when you see your stock decline but Warren Buffet built his wealth by holding stocks for the long term.
