How Did You Get Started With Investing?

By the end of 2020, after the way the COVID-19 pandemic impacted my used car dealership, I decided to begin phasing myself out of the car business. I knew I would have some cash at my disposal after liquidating the inventory, and wanted a way to make more than the 0.4% my savings account was paying at that time. I started trying to learn about how the stock market works, and that is when I learned about stocks and ETFs that pay dividends.

You Have Become Somewhat Of A Financial Influencer On X. How Did This Come About?

I never really considered myself a top financial influencer, but I share knowledge when I have it, and don’t try to pretend to be an expert. The only platform I am active on currently is X in 2025. Do you focus on income, growth, or stability most now with your investments? My major focus is income. My IRAs have monthly payers with some stability, but recently I have been focusing on weekly payers with high yield in the rest of my portfolio.

What Is Your Favorite ETF Right Now?

Now that ULTY went to weekly payments, that is my favorite. I get a lot of bang for my buck. What are your thoughts on the recent market volatility and outlook? With the talk of tariffs and conflicts in the Middle East, I expect choppy waters in the short term. Long term, I expect things will smooth out and the markets will go up.

What Do You Do In Your Personal Life That Helps With Your Financial Success?

I married a woman who has been a great partner and kept me grounded. Our hobbies include things like shopping at yard sales, flea markets and country auctions, so we like bargain shopping. As my father taught me, “It is not how much you make, it is what you keep.” What is your top piece of advice for retail investors? Follow your own instincts, do your own research and don’t blindly follow the crowd. If you like a particular asset for investment, buy it. If you feel iffy, sell it.

Thank you Paul Green for your time and insights in this exclusive interview!

Ari Gutman is a VP at Defiance Investments, retail investor, dividend stocks expert, and finfluencer YouTuber.

How Did you get started investing Ari?

I have always been fascinated by money—particularly not only how to earn it, but more importantly, how to make it work for us. From a young age, I was intrigued by my uncle, who worked at Fidelity and managed billions of dollars. He consistently emphasized the importance of investing, advising me to focus on assets I truly understood. I vividly recall him using the newspaper to show me stock tickers, encouraging me to “pick a stock and track its performance.” Though I was just a pre-teen at the time, his advice stayed with me. By my early 20s, once I felt financially secure, I decided to begin investing in the stock market. My journey began with total stock market funds, which eventually evolved into a dividend investment portfolio. Today at age 30 my focus has shifted toward growth-oriented investments, particularly in light of our rapidly advancing technological landscape.

How Did You Become A Finfluencer And What Platforms Do You Use?

In 2020 I began creating YouTube videos with the goal of helping individuals improve their financial well-being, with the hope that the impact would extend to their families. The Talmud’s powerful quote, “to save one life is to save the world,” has always resonated with me. I apply this philosophy to my work—helping just one person financially can have a profound ripple effect on many lives. Currently, my primary platform is YouTube, though I am beginning to expand my presence on X as well in 2025.

What Are Your Favorite ETFs Right Now?

Initially, I began investing with a focus on single funds. Over time, my strategy has evolved towards a growth and dividend-oriented approach, with two key ETFs forming the foundation of my portfolio.

Aside from Defiance Funds, my primary ETF choice, aligned with the future technological landscape, is a top technology ETF. This provides growth, diversity, and some quarterly dividends. What I do in my personal life definitely helps with financial success. I am an avid reader and have come to appreciate the profound impact that knowledge has on success. Through reading, I gain more than just the information presented on each page. I also learn to see the world from diverse perspectives, enhancing my ability to approach challenges and opportunities with a broader mindset—an invaluable skill in making informed investment decisions.

What Is Your Top Piece Of Advice For Retail Investors?

That investment advice would be to constantly “Feed the fire” of your assets. What I mean by this is simple: never stop investing. Once you have established a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy, just stick with it. Whether weekly or monthly, consistently contribute to your investments. Over time, you will be pleasantly surprised by how your money grows and works for you with the power of compound interest.

Thank you so much for the exclusive interview Ari J Gutman!

Follow Famous Finfluencer Dan Cash on X

How did you get started with investing Dan?

Investing really started as a means just get ahead. TD bank had a Christmas Savings account which wasn’t advertised. Any time I got a tip at work, I would throw the extra $20 in this savings account. The bank never issued a debit card or a bank deposit. In November, the bank would send a check with the amount. This money every year is what I used to fund Christmas. This was the foundation for a forced scarcity mindset. This was the ground work for being able to put money aside, and living without. Once the habit forms, similar to the marshmallow test. Anyone is capable of investing. Stumbling upon Rich Dad Poor Dad opened up the possibility, but putting in small practices and getting used to see money in the account without the need to spend it was a game changer. It is like anything else that takes practice, a muscle if you will.

You have become a top financial influencer on social media. How did this come about and which platforms are you on?

Since I was about 6 years old, I had been fascinated with money. An obsession. However it was because I was trying to get home. Being in and out of foster care, crack houses and eating from trash cans doesn’t exactly paint a great picture of success. But success doesn’t come to the meek. It shows up to those who desire, and go after it, against all odds. America is home of the come back kid. Social media grew really fast seemingly over a year time frame during recent health crisis. I tried posting things that just made sense to me. However it wasn’t without its challenges.

Members of State Street messaging me saying that I shouldn’t post financial advice, asset managers telling me I can’t post content around finance. As well as it getting to the point where people were stalking me and my family. Which quickly resulted in my no longer allowing my family to be part of my social media life. Which in hindsight is nice to not share them with the rest of the world. Later on down the road I learned how important this was. The more financially affluent you are, the less and less you post about family, what you ate for dinner or sharing the intimate vacations you take with family. You end up becoming a target. I have hosted a couple fund managers on my podcast, but my love of the game was never to make money at it. Because let’s me honest, I don’t. I do this because I get messages every day from people struggling to find a way out of the proverbial rat race. I have been blessed with whatever gift this is where life is happening for me. And I am just hoping others can share along in that journey.

Tell us about your book, how they can improve a person’s financial knowledge.

The book Son of Bitches to Riches, in 24 hours was an Amazon best seller. Now I say best seller, not best written. There is a clear distinction because reading and writing I did not become fluent in until I was roughly 19 years old. It reads like I speak, direct and to the point. The next book will be released later on this year in 2025. In Son of Bitches to Riches, people can learn the basics such as the 4% rule, rule of 72 and how seemingly indifferent people you would never suspect in a public setting, might actually be very well off. The first half of the book profiles my life into early adulthood, and the second half profiles some of the most wealthy elites families in America. I have had the pleasure of knowing over the years. How they live, what they do and how they spend money. My new book, is a profoundly exceptional book that will deep dive past the basics and onto the more complex wealthy elites. The things only heard in the halls of places like Wharton business school. Things that might not be intentionally hidden but only shared within close groups. Stay on the look out for that book release.

Do you focus on income, growth, stability most now with your investments?

All of the above is crucial for my investing strategy. In my mind, it is important to think about legacy, retirement and the now. One bad remark, can ruin a persons reputation, which is of upmost importance to me. I would never want to steer someone in the wrong direction. Finance is so multi-layered, any one strategy can be right for one person and so incredibly wrong for someone else. The confines of your investment strategy is regulated to your ability to think in abstraction. My advice to everyone has always been, what is the goal, who is the person you need to become in order to reach that goal and work the equation backwards. Until the image in your mind is so clear, the only way to screw up is to deviate from the plan. This requires a great deal of strategy like chess, but imagine you are playing 4 separate games, independently stacked on top of one another at the same time. One wrong move and the entire coupling unraveled if protections aren’t in place.

What is your favorite ETF right now, or favorite 2 ETFs if needed?

Right now my favorite ETF is XDTE without a doubt, and secondly that would be VTI. Both track the S&P500 which over long periods of time and can grow exponentially. Returns over the past 100 years have been nothing short of exceptional. If you are looking for diversity without diluting your account, it’s very easy to do. Overall, I have real estate, mineral rights, oil, gas, military and capital growth. But most importantly everything is American. I only invest in my the companies of my fellow country men and women, and the betterment of the greatest nation to have ever existed. What do you do in your personal life that helps with your financial success? I exercise first and foremost. Before anything else 7 days a week, exercise. Family should come first, however I can’t be the best husband and father to my wife and children without taking care of myself to the upmost. Diet is crucial as well. My hobbies are advanced mathematics and anything engineering related. But when I am not working, and it is family time, it is 110% family time. Doesn’t matter what we are doing. I would rather give 100% of my attention, instead of 50% of my attention and 50% to work. Go All in on family time, if you are going to be there, be present.

What is your top piece of advice for retail investors?

Focus on the few, not the many. I see too many people buying this and that, and being half pregnant on 100 different funds or 12 side hustles and never really understanding what they are buying. I did this for far too long and it is part of the journey. At some point you will realize, you won’t capture every movement in the market and way to many funds to focus on. Professionals can’t do it and neither can you. What is great is you don’t need to either. The billionaires people most aspire to emulate all had one thing in common. That was focus. Musk PayPal, Gates Microsoft, Bezos Amazon etc. it wasn’t until the companies had grown so much, that they needed to diversify for protection against downside risk. Most people won’t fail because they all in on a great idea, it is because they went wide on 100 great ideas and couldn’t give each one the attention they deserved.

Whether you are looking to create new avenues to seize opportunities or simply wish to diversify your portfolio, international stocks can be a great component of your general investment portfolio.

One of the top ways to ease any fears you have about your future is by incorporating calculated investing into your approach.

Even if you find yourself in a situation where the value of the U.S dollar decreases, you will still have sound investments from assets that don’t lose value. After all, you can’t save your way to wealth. You must invest in something and do it well.

Nowadays, there is a lot of uncertainty about the economy and its future outlook. Not only is inflation becoming increasingly prevalent, but prices for goods and services continue to rise at a significant pace.

What are some of the best investment strategies that you should be considering for the coming year? We have come up with a very good infographic that you can use. We will be discussing some of the main points that you can take from it.

1. Buy Gold

One of the smartest investment strategies that you can use for this economy is to purchase tangible assets like gold. This is a strategy that has been used to hedge against inflation for years. It is something that has worked for quite some time. It is one of the best ways to hedge against inflation because it is a tangible asset that appreciates and it can provide you with greater peace of mind even if your currency isn’t doing as well as it could be. When the value of your currency is down, the value of tangible assets like gold usually increases. Thus, you still have appreciating assets even during the downturn of the economy. This can give you the peace of mind that you need knowing that not all of your wealth is being stored in a depreciating asset like fiat currency that’s subject to inflation.

Best of all, it is not going to yield you insignificant returns. In fact, according to the infographic, gold was able to generate a whopping 24% returns in 2024, and China and India are two of the largest global consumers of it. Therefore, you know there will always be high demand for tangible gold.

When it comes to CFD trading, you may have heard of the terms “Fibonacci Retracement”. If you have always wondered what that is and how it is related to CFD share trading, you have come to the right place. Today, we will explain what exactly the Fibonacci trading strategy is and its role in CFD trading. Let’s get started learning traders!

What Are Fibonacci Numbers?

Fibonacci numbers are a special type of numbers developed by Italian mathematician Leonardo Pisano in the 12th Century. The numbers were studied and further developed by mathematician Edouard Lucas in the 19th Century.

The numbers represent a sequence by which every subsequent number is obtained by adding the two preceding numbers. The sequence starts with 0 and go on as 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,144 etc.

When the ratio between two consecutive numbers of the Fibonacci sequence is taken – for example, the 5th and 6th or the 6th and 7th – we get 1.618 as the result. As we continue to take the ratio of the numbers in the sequence, it comes to the result as 1.618033988749895, which is also known as “Phi” or the “Golden Ratio”. Apart from the Golden Ratio, we also get other Fibonacci ratios (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% & 100%) which indicate the relationship between the numbers in the sequence.

What Is The Fibonacci Trading Strategy?

The Fibonacci sequence and ratios are found everywhere in nature. Right from the geometry within a flower to how our human body has evolved. This is why traders started using the sequence in trading analysis too; they figured if the Fibonacci sequence is everywhere, maybe it’s something that may also relate to financial trading. And this was true.

In share trading and forex trading, the Fibonacci sequence is used as a technical indicator to determine the possible way in which specific forex or share prices will move. Essentially, the Fibonacci numbers can be used to forecast the potential price of stocks and forex in a specific timeline. The sequence and ratios can help speculate the future financial performance of the stock market with surprising accuracy. However, let it be known that while useful, results obtained using the Fibonacci sequence are in no way guaranteed.

The objective of using the Fibonacci sequence/ratios in share trading is to help traders understand where the resistance and support levels lie for a chosen trading pair. This information can then help them decide whether they should open a buy or sell deal, and when to enter or exit.

What Is A Share Or Forex Retracement?

In the world of stock and forex trading, retracements refer to a temporary reversal in trends. If the market is currently on a high trend, the retracement could entail a temporary low swing and a subsequent return to the high trend after a short period of time. And vice versa.

What Are Fibonacci Retracements And How Do They Work?

The Fibonacci numbers enable traders to speculate on when the next “High” or “Low” swing may occur in the trading market. In particular, the Fibonacci ratios tell traders when the market could reverse its current trend/position, in regards to the retracement. The technique of using the Fibonacci numbers and ratios to forecast potential prices and retracements in the financial market is called Fibonacci retracements.

When using Fibonacci retracements, traders look to check if the trading pair is at the 50% level. This indicates that the trend is currently stable and unchanging. While 50% is not a Fibonacci ratio, it is used by traders for ease of understanding.

Now, if the trading level goes below 50% and reaches the 38.2% or 23.6% mark, it means the reversal of the trend has begun in earnest. Traders monitor the trading pair to check at what point the levels revert back to 50%. When the trading level crosses 50% and moves towards 61.8% or 76.4%, it indicates how strongly the trend is moving back to its original position.

CFD Trading And Fibonacci Retracements

CFDs refer to Contracts for Difference. In CFD trading, traders don’t take ownership of the actual underlying asset. Instead, they pay the difference in asset value based on its opening value and closing value during trading.

CFD trading works on price speculation. This is where Fibonacci retracements can help. By using the Fibonacci ratios, you can study how your chosen trading pair is currently performing. You can use this information to decide whether to buy more shares or forex CFDs or to sell what you currently hold, with the goal of making a potential profit.

Common Fibonacci Retracement Mistakes To Avoid

Now that we know how Fibonacci retracements work in CFD trading, let’s look at some of the common Fibonacci retracement mistakes that traders make and which you could avoid:

· Don’t mix and match your reference points – If you are using the lowest price point as your reference, always analyze your trading pair with the Fibonacci retracement using the lowest price point.

· Keep track of the long-term trend – While Fibonacci retracements are a short-term trading forecast strategy, you could supplement your decision-making by keeping track of the long-term trend. This is mainly because very short time frames can skew your results. By keeping track of long-term trends, you may be better prepared to take advantage of your Fibonacci retracements.

· Using only the Fibonacci retracement strategy for trading – Just as with other trading strategies, Fibonacci retracement is only an indicator. Relying on it as the sole indicator can become problematic since it shows you only one side of the picture. Combine Fibonacci retracement with other strategies you prefer so you get a holistic perspective of your trend.

Tips For Using Fibonacci Retracements When CFD Trading

· Use the Fibonacci retracement to understand the levels of support and resistance you face when trading in CFDs.

· Use the Fibonacci retracement to identify when to enter the market and when to exit it.

· Use the Fibonacci retracement to understand when to short or long your CFD deals.

· Use the Fibonacci retracement to pick up on trend changes and prepare for any possible scenarios.

Wrapping Up Top Trading Tips

Fibonacci retracement strategy can be a helpful technique to use when CFD trading. Try it today and see how it can help supplement your own trading strategy for improved investing ROI.

The tumultuous years after the recent global events saw a myriad of forex traders venture into copy trading. The more exciting part is that even expert foreign exchange currency (FX) traders are rethinking their stance on copy trading.

Better yet, pairing a remarkable copy trading platform with an honest forex broker ensures you don’t get tricked into copy trading manipulated figures.

2. How Do You Copy A Trade?

4. Is Copying Forex Trades Illegal?

Copy trading is partly legal and illegal. That depends on your country and the item you buy or sell. For instance, countries such as Malaysia ban forex copy trading.

Most nations, such as the USA, Vanuatu, Belgium, and Turkey, legalize forex (and crypto) copy trading.

5. Are Trading Signals Worth It?

Yes, trading signals are worth it. However, you should be vigilant to trade with a regulated broker. That is because forex providers may give unreliable trading signals to lure you into copy unrealistic trades.

After ascertaining the credibility of your provider, go ahead and trade on a top-rated trading platform like Meta Trader 4.

Follow these simple steps to get free forex trading signals. Open a free MetaTrader trading account. Open a free MQL account and choose a signal provider, such as MT4.

7. Can You Make A Living With Forex?

Cryptocurrency and crypto trading platforms have currently created a major hype in the global financial market with their insane returns in price rates. Among them, Bitcoin is currently leading with a market cap of $1.19 Trillion USD. It is easy to exchange in almost all trading platforms.

One of its own cryptocurrencies platforms is Bitcoin Business which has given good returns to many investors with its automated trading platform by reducing the trading risk factors. However, the scenario in India is different when it comes to cryptocurrencies entering 2025.

Crypto Status In India

As per the statement issued by RBI in the last year 2023; whichever institutions, organizations, entities, individuals’ deals with crypto coins will be banned by the banks. Though its statement has not imposed a permanent ban on cryptocurrency in India, has led to shut down and closure of many virtual exchanges.

Also, in the last year, different government agencies like Department of Economic Affairs; Central Board of Direct taxes; Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority; and Central Board of Indirect taxes and customs have supported this statement of RBI and desired to put a permanent ban on the buying and selling of crypto coins. But, nothing got finalized and the final decision was pending.

Following the scenario of 2023, presently in this year, Supreme Court called for a hearing at the March end to look at the crypto regulations but, according to reports and India’s Blockchain lawyer Varun Sethi; it got postponed to the second week of July due to the recently held elections.

As per the current reports and local sources, the government has drafted a bill in the name of ‘Banning Cryptocurrencies and Regulation of Official Digital Currencies Bill 2019’. It is currently circulated to various government agencies in India.

The ministry of Indian corporate affairs declared that there is no transparency in the financial procedure of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto coins. The source of money of these crypto coins is unknown due to no stringent regulations or authority backing it. It has also classified the scheme of these crypto coins as Ponzi Schemes that are giving returns in a fraudulent way. If this continues to grow, it will pose a serious threat to the financial system in India and hence it needs to be banned urgently.

The decision regarding the cryptocurrencies in India has been delaying for a period of 1 year under the committee of Subhash Chandra Garg who belongs to the Secretary of the Department of Economic Affairs at India’s Ministry of Finance. So, this year, the committees and government agencies are planning to finalize it with a full proof clear hearing.

Final Words

Following the last and year and present year’s situation, it is quite expectable that this year might be the end of a crypto era in India. But, then things can be different as well, so patience is all Indians require currently until the final decision arrives.

Especially for short-term trading, technical analysis remains the main pillar for efficient decision-making. Although stock markets began the second half with mixed technicals, that did not prevent new gains from showing up.

Still, new traders in the market are joining the industry and they need to understand some of the basic technical analysis principles. In combination with fundamental and sentiment analysis, that could result in a rules-based approach. Let’s see what retail traders need to master during the early stages of investing.

Trending Markets

Trading involves taking advantage of price movements. Traders need volatility to succeed in the market and also, established trends, so they can buy low and sell high, or sell high to later buy low. A trending market must meet several important conditions, such as:

– The price needs to have a clear directional bias

– Either buyers or sellers need to be in control

– Corrective moves are generally mild as compared to impulsive moves.

It is possible to expand the list by adding new variables, but if these requirements are met, traders will be dealing with a trending market. Although professionals get involved even when prices are trapped in a range or very choppy, beginners should consider only assets that have a clear direction. That way, they will avoid uncertain conditions and not get hijacked by emotional reactions when the price trades violently on both sides.

Indicators

After opening a trading account with a reliable broker, traders will need to download MT4 or any other trading software available. That will be the main gateway to the markets, facilitating trade placements and price analysis.

To conduct those tasks, traders can use a variety of indicators. Moving averages are some of the most popular in the market, representing the average of the closing or opening price for a pre-set period. Although the market might be trending most of the time, it is important to consider prices don’t move in a straight line. Pullbacks to the moving averages will often occur and that is why professional traders are monitoring these lines on the charts.

Oscillators like MACD, Relative Strength Index (RSI), or Stochastic are considered leading indicators, signaling oversold or overbought conditions in the market. Traders use them to anticipate turning points and preserve returns, as much as possible.

The Core Principle Behind Technical Analysis

There is a broad debate around technical analysis especially now when stock markets are decoupled from fundamentals. Recently, US stocks rose despite a big miss on GDP and that makes traders rely more on technical developments. The core principle behind technical analysis is that “history tends to repeat itself”.

The resemblance might not be 100%, but a trader spending many hours in front of the charts will notice many patterns. After that, he can develop rules to place stock trades, manage them successfully, and constantly do that as the markets unfold. Technical analysis continues to be a reliable tool at a time of great uncertainty and until fundamentals will be in sync with valuations, this will be the main denominator for stock market traders.
