Congratulations, you've decided to join the exciting world of investing! Starting to invest can be both exciting and a little scary. That's totally normal! The stock market can seem like a wild beast – powerful and potentially rewarding, but also unpredictable. But fear not, intrepid investor!

Taming the Market Beast: Tools and Strategies

Now that you understand the risks, let's explore some tools and strategies for mitigating them:

• Asset Allocation: This determines the percentage of your portfolio allocated to different asset classes based on your risk tolerance and investment goals.
• Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Investing at regular intervals, irrespective of the price of the stock, helps average out its cost per share over time, mitigating the risk of buying at the highest cost.
• Stop-Loss Orders: Stop-loss orders can help you sell your investments automatically if the price drops too much, like a safety net to catch you.
