/biz/ - Business & Finance

I've been procrastinating about investing for 6 years now and never made any moves, and I've amassed a humble amount of 60k in cash at this point. Trying to find good company's from all sectors seems so overwhelming and time consuming, especially when I am competing with so many people.

Would it make more sense to concentrate on one small market/country and perhaps even choose one sector inside of the given market and just analyze the shit out of it in monk mode? For example battery metals mining companies interest me but would I be an idiot spending my free time studying metals instead of being just a casual investing bro and buying some big to semi big sp500 stocks? Also mining is something I may study as a minor in university so I could maybe gain an edge over non mining people with that and certainly it would help to motivate my studies.

I think also Martin Shkreli said at some point, get passionate about a small segment and you can get success at investing, other than that you are just hoping for the best and actually have no idea about anything
