Investing in stocks isn't easy. You have to stay on top of multiple companies and predict how the future will unfold. While investors confidently hold on to stocks during bullish cycles, many of these same investors fold during bearish markets.
Many Redditors discussed stocks they sold too early in a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1ley7km/what_stock_did_you_sell_too_early_and_deeply/">recent post</a> that is gaining momentum. Some Redditors lost out on massive, life-changing returns just by exiting reliable companies during corrections.
"If I waited a year, I would be 10x," one Redditor stated when talking about buying Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in 2020 and selling at breakeven in 2022.&nbsp;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Volatility Led To Many Exits</h2>
One investor regretted selling Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares eight years ago. Another investor sympathized and said they also sold Tesla eight years ago, citing 10% daily swings as the main reason for exiting.
Tesla was one of the biggest winners during the pandemic and has gone up by more than 1,000% over the past eight years. While some posts contained nothing more than people talking about their losses, this one contains a valuable lesson.&nbsp;
If you invest in a company for the long run, you have to endure volatility. Sharp price swings are especially common for growth stocks that have tremendous long-term potential. Ignore the price swings and consider where the company will be in the next decade.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fears Are Overblown</h2>
Another Redditor mentioned that they owned 1,000 shares of Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) about 18 years ago. Netflix doesn't receive as much attention since the FAANG acronym is out of style, but it's still a top-performing stock, especially for early investors.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
Netflix shares have gained anywhere from 30,000% to 50,000% since 2007, depending on when investors bought their shares. That's a massive gain to lose out on, but 2007 was right before the Great Recession, so it was common for people to exit the markets frantically.
One commenter offered an interesting perspective on Netflix stock that highlights how some investors were thinking at the time.
"There were a lot of experts over the years, especially in the beginning, saying how other media companies were going to make [Netflix] irrelevant or basically put them out of business."
Those concerns were unfounded, and it goes to show that some people forecast the absolute worst-case scenario. These overblown narratives may have caused some investors to abandon ship, especially during the Great Recession.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Profits Don't Feel Good If You Leave A Lot Of Money On The Table</h2>
Some people posted impressive gains in the comments section that don't feel so good knowing how the assets performed in the long run. One investor bought a bunch of Bitcoin at $0.50 apiece and sold them for $250 to buy a house. It's the type of gain you rarely get, but it still feels like the Redditor missed out on a great opportunity with Bitcoin now above $100,000 a coin.
Another Redditor thought they did well when they bought Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) shares for $2-$3 dollars and sold at $9.50. It's a 3x profit, but AMD stock now goes for more than $100 per share.&nbsp;
It's easy to beat yourself up about missing out on 10x returns, but most investors should love a 3x return. While it makes for entertaining content, dwelling on missed opportunities isn't the right approach for building long-term wealth. You can learn from your mistakes and commit to long-term investments instead of selling amid volatility.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Encompass Health Stock In The Last 5 Years

Approval ratings for President Donald Trump have fallen in the lead-up and aftermath of an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/46061928/iran-oil-attack-us-qatar-trump-negotiation">attack on Iran</a>, according to a new Morning Consult poll.
Trump's approval among voters has taken a hit on several key campaign issues.
What Happened: While the focus was on Trump's economic policies and a potential global trade war from tariffs in Trump's first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/04/45069781/trumps-first-100-days-what-he-delivered-where-he-fell-short-how-markets-reacted">100 days in office</a>, voters are now turning attention to international conflict and the potential for more involvement in the Middle East.
A Morning Consult <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/donald-trump-congress-policy-republicans-polling?utm_source=briefing&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=washington_am&amp;utm_content=062425">poll </a>conducted June 20 to June 22 showed Trump with a net approval of -8 points. Voters gave Trump a 45% approval rating and a 53% disapproval rating, meaning more voters disapprove of the president currently than those who approve of him.
The -8 net approval rating tied a low in Trump's second term since he took office in January. Trump's net approval also stood at -8 in late April when concerns of Trump's tariff policies were top of mind for voters.
On the handling of Israel/Iran, Trump had a 43% approval rating and 46% disapproval rating with 12% saying they don't know or were unsure.
Perhaps most concerning for Trump in the new poll was his 49% approval and 43% disapproval rating for his handling of immigration. This +5 rating marked a new low in Trump's second term and was down from +13 just a month ago. The results could show that voters think Trump is being too aggressive with his immigration policies.
Another troubling survey results for Trump is the lack of support for the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." In the poll, 49% of voters opposed the bill while 37% supported the bill. This is down from previous weeks of the poll.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Trump won the 2024 presidential election in both the Electoral College vote (312 to 226) and the popular vote (49.8% to 48.3%). Trump, as a Republican, also has majority control in both the House and Senate.
While Trump may have been popular with around 50% or more of voters ahead of the 2024 election, he has lost support since taking office.
While past months saw Trump lose support due to the economy, the latest poll shows strong distrust and disapproval due to foreign policy.
One reason for the change could be less focus on the economy with tariff rates declining and the stock market booming.
The S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), is nearing new all-time highs. The ETF is up 4.7% year-to-date, which comes after it was negative for several months during the start of Trump's second term.
The SPY was down 7.8% in Trump's first 100 days in office, marking one of the worst starts to a four-year term in more than 50 years.
The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which tracks the Nasdaq 100, hit new all-time highs on Thursday. The ETF is now up 7.1% year-to-date, a significant turnaround from a -9.5% performance in Trump's first 100 days.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.

17 Analysts Have This To Say About ConocoPhillips

Lindsey, a woman in her 30s, recently wrote to Dave Ramsey with a major concern: her husband wants to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40799247/he-quit-his-full-time-web-developer-job-to-start-a-t-shirt-side-hustle-now-he-earns-175k-a-year-work">quit his job</a> and sell their fully paid-off house to open a restaurant. The glaring problem in the whole situation is that he has no experience, has done no research, and doesn&#8217;t have a business plan.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey&#8217;s Warning</h2>
In a <a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1936072044442968566">post on X</a> and a related video from &#8220;The Ramsey Show,&#8221; Ramsey naturally didn't hold back.
&#8220;The No. 1 way to go broke is to open a restaurant,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It's like freaking guaranteed.&#8221;

</ul>
Lindsey explained her husband's plan: sell their $500,000 home, move the family into an apartment, and use the money to buy a restaurant, despite having no prior experience. Meanwhile, she would continue working and bring in their only steady income of $85,000 a year.
&#8220;Oh no,&#8221; Ramsey&#8217;s co-host Rachel Cruze repeated while reading the letter. &#8220;Oh, geez. I don&#8217;t even know if I can get through this.&#8221;
Cruze emphasized that Lindsey has a voice in the matter: &#8220;You have a vote too. This is your life as well.&#8221; &#8220;And you&#8217;re on the deed of that house. So don&#8217;t sign it,&#8221; Ramsey added before pointing out that restaurants are not only risky but have one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42805180/dont-invest-in-rap-restaurant-and-liquor-companies-says-mark-cuban-heres-his-advice-to-nba-players-and-other-millionaire-athletes">highest failure rates</a> in the business world.&nbsp;
He mentioned that the average restaurant has a 300% employee turnover rate per year, making it a difficult and high-stress environment to manage. &#8220;You lose all your people three times a year. That&#8217;s a lot of drama. That&#8217;s a lot of stuff to put up with.&#8221;
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Safer Way To Pursue The Dream</h2>
Instead of jumping headfirst into such a risky move, Ramsey laid out a much more practical and safe path for anyone dreaming of opening a restaurant.
&#8220;You do a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44319385/shaq-makes-his-6-kids-pitch-a-business-plan-if-they-want-cash-you-want-me-to-be-the-bank-im-gonna-do-exactly-what-the-bank-is-going-to-do">business plan</a>,&#8221; he wrote on X. &#8220;You go to work in a restaurant. You learn the restaurant business. You work in leadership in a restaurant, management in a restaurant. You understand purchasing in a restaurant.&#8221;
He continued: &#8220;Then you redo your business plan, because now you're going to be smarter. Then you start a catering business on the side. And you grow your catering business so big that you buy a food truck.&#8221;
By that point, he said, you'll be earning enough from the catering and food truck business to open a restaurant with your own money. No need to sell your house or quit your job.
Ramsey also referenced real-world examples of failed restaurants, pointing to last year&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/24/05/38924081/bye-bye-biscuits-red-lobster-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection">bankruptcy of Red Lobster</a>. &#8220;Just ask Red Lobster. They just filed bankruptcy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Too many shrimp.&#8221;
For Ramsey, the main point is that dreaming big is fine, but doing it without a plan or experience can result in losing everything. In Lindsey's case, he urged her to stand her ground.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $124.37, after a 1.38% spike. Over the past month, American Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFG#NYSE">AFG</a>) stock increased by 1.12%, and in the past year, by 1.10%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>American Financial Group P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
American Financial Group has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 23.4 of the Insurance industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

A Look Into American Financial Group Inc's Price Over Earnings

Gen Z is approaching corporate life with a vastly different attitude than previous generations, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-gig-economy-mindset-corporate-america-2025-6">Business Insider</a> reports.&nbsp;
With Gen Z set to comprise <a href="https://imagine.jhu.edu/blog/2023/04/18/gen-z-in-the-workplace-how-should-companies-adapt/">30% of the workforce</a> by 2030, this shift in attitude and work culture will have long-reaching impacts on corporate America. Businesses will have to adapt to these preferences, or risk not being able to attract and retain top talent.
So what exactly is Gen Z looking for in a workplace? Work-life balance, flexibility, roles that stretch them, unique benefits packages, and opportunities to regularly try new things, Business Insider says.

</ul>
Workplace culture experts told the outlet that younger workers prefer roles that are dynamic and flexible. "Early career professionals want variety,&#8221; executive coach Kathryn Landis told Business Insider. &#8220;They want to see different parts of the business. It&#8217;s kind of that trend of the gig economy coming to corporate America.&#8221;
This is reflected in the amount of time Gen Z wants to spend in a position before they move on. Landis told Business Insider that one student recently said they were looking for roles they could be in for six months.&nbsp;
&#8220;When I was growing up, five years at a job was the minimum before you&#8217;d consider jumping ship — I feel like you don&#8217;t even know where the bathroom is after six months,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But that was a reasonable threshold for her to put it on a résumé, get some experience there, and then move on to the next role. Two years might be more average these days, but the mentality is just very different.&#8221;
Ryan Leak, an executive coach, agreed with Landis' assessment, telling Business Insider nearly 40% of his Gen Z clients are looking for roles that help them grow quickly.&nbsp;
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
&#8220;I think that speaks to a mindset that really values experience over stability,&#8221; Leak said. &#8220;They view themselves more as free agents building a portfolio of skills. They look at it as if they&#8217;re designing a career. So what older generations may have seen as job-hopping, I think Gen Z sees as career design. They aren&#8217;t chasing titles. They&#8217;re chasing impact. They want their job to really matter.&#8221;
Companies with the best retention rates of Gen Z employees offer unique perks. Leak told Business Insider that benefits packages that include things like gym memberships and child care assistance go a long way with younger workers. Landis said a focus on flexible work options, whether that looks like hybrid schedules or Tiger Team rotations, which allow workers to rotate through projects more quickly than they would in a traditional position, is highly impactful in keeping employees.&nbsp;
"I think the more companies and leaders who think in [an agile] way are going to find themselves creating the kind of cultures people want to stay in,&#8221; Leak told Business Insider.

Are you on the path to becoming a millionaire? If you want to know for sure, it's good to see what millionaires already have. Even better, see which money habits they all seem to have in common.&nbsp;
You can do this research yourself, but why do that when you can get quick access to the five things every millionaire has in common? You might check off all five items on this list. In that case, you're on your way to a seven-figure portfolio. If not, it may be worth seeing how you can align your finances and goals to have these five traits.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investments</h2>
Millionaires make regular investments in assets like stocks and real estate that gain value over time. Stocks are the easiest asset to enter since they are highly liquid. Cryptocurrencies have the same convenience. You don't have to build or maintain a property to buy stocks and crypto.
Real estate is another popular asset since people will always need places to live. Real estate also has unique tax advantages that you won't find with stocks.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Used Cars</h2>
Most millionaires don't blow through their money, especially people who take decades to reach the seven-figure milestone with steady investments. They look for ways to save money, and one of the best ways to cut your expenses is by purchasing a used car that gets the job done.
Used cars have already endured a lot of depreciation. It's better to get a car that has already lost value than it is to drive a new car and watch its value plummet the moment you pick it up from the dealership.
Opting for more affordable cars will give you extra money to pour into your investments. Then, your wealth will compound faster and set you up for a seven-figure portfolio.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A College Degree</h2>
A college degree is not required to become a millionaire, but many of them have college degrees. It's more common for millionaires to get degrees from public state schools than top-tier private universities.
Many people use their college degrees to pursue new career opportunities. It's better to have a college degree than it is to not have one. However, you shouldn't be discouraged if you do not have a college degree. Some people have become millionaires off a high school education.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">401(k) Plans</h2>
Many millionaires invest to build wealth, and they also tend to use 401(k) plans to boost their wealth. These accounts come with significant tax advantages, and most employers match a portion of your contributions.
It's good to max out your 401(k) plan each year. Doing this for 20 years can help you establish a strong nest egg, and if you can max out your 401(k) plan for more than 20 years, that's even better. Plus, when you turn 50, you can make an annual catch-up contribution in addition to your regular contribution.
Combine a 401(k) plan with an IRA, and you can contribute even more money to tax-advantaged accounts every year.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zero Credit Card Debt</h2>
The last thing most millionaires have in common is that they don't carry credit card balances. While any debt has interest, credit cards are notorious for their high rates. You can end up with an APR that's close to 30% if you don't manage your credit card debt and end up with a low FICO score.
The best-case scenario is an APR of about 20% for most cardholders. Millionaires don't spend more than they make each month, making it easy to pay off their credit cards each month. By paying off their credit cards on time, millionaires avoid interest while enjoying all of the perks that come with having a credit card.

Investors regularly panic when the stock market endures a downturn and rush to sell their assets. It's a tale as old as time that demonstrates the rewards that come with patience, and these types of stories frequently end up on Reddit.
A Redditor in the Investing subreddit recently asked if people were <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1lf8tkp/are_you_still_investing_in_this_market/">still investing in this market</a>. The original poster mentioned that they know some friends who are holding cash and waiting for the market to drop. However, Redditors were pretty adamant about staying the course in the comments.
"Never totally get out of the market," one of them declared.&nbsp;
Redditors shared their thoughts and explained why they are still in the stock market.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Go Long For Over 20 Years</h2>
Everyone has different goals and timeframes, and having a clear understanding of your financial situation can lead to better decisions. One commenter suggested that staying in the stock market is optimal for people who can wait 20 years.&nbsp;
This same commenter also warned people not to put money in the stock market if they need it very soon. For instance, the money going toward a down payment next year or the upcoming rent payment shouldn't be in the stock market.
"Recently, most pullbacks recover quickly, but when it doesn't, and you need the money, you'll have to cash out at a lower price. Lots of people suffered from this," the commenter explained.
One person replied with a caveat, saying that you should save up cash until you have $20,000 for quick access. Once you reach that milestone, the commenter suggests going back to investing.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">All Cash Since The 2000 Dot-Com Bubble</h2>
Leave it to Redditors to share humorous takes while diving into important topics. One commenter jokingly said that they have been all-cash since the dot-com bubble because the stock market is too risky.
"Making a steady 1% a year in high yield after inflation. Feeling smart," the commenter continued.
Redditors jumped in on the trend, with the humor building as more people left comments.
"Same bro. I've been keeping all cash since 1982. Too many bubbles to keep track of. I keep my cash under my mattress," another commenter joked.
The message behind these posts is important. Bubbles come and go, but the stock market has continued to trend upward in the long run.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks Go Up With Inflation</h2>
Some Redditors mentioned that cash gradually loses value due to inflation. While high-yield savings accounts can mitigate this effect, interest is taxed as ordinary income, making it an uphill battle.
However, stocks tend to go up with inflation since companies gradually raise their prices. While the stock market can perform poorly with hyperinflation, gradual inflation often results in asset classes reaching new highs.
Holding cash for the long run is a losing formula since it consistently loses value. Some Redditors are using margin instead of retreating to capitalize on the fact that fiat currencies lose purchasing power over time. While that makes your bank account's purchasing power weaker, inflation also makes your existing debt easier to pay off.
