I ask this because all of the investing sub reddits I follow keep saying, "the next down turn is around the corner". Is it though? I would say that what the Fed has already done was pretty irresponsible. Whats to prevent them from continuing to pump up the markets and continue to see ATH? I am not trying to get politial. Just from an investing stand point what is actually going to make the markets go down if everytime bad news is produced, the Fed prints more money? Its like inflation has hit the stock market. How does a bubble actually pop if we just continue to pump it?

good morning.

i woke up to a text asking what's a good app for a 19 year old to start/learn about investing in stocks.

i'm pretty clueless and did some googling and found a few apps that were newbie friendly.

stumbled here and decided to ask you fine fellas!

any help /advice is greatly appreciated

** edit

he wants to invest in stocks he likes/thinks might go up later (his words not mine)

I started investing just before the drop. And suffered big time in Lunkin already. Still I went more chips in, with Pharma and Tech stocks, recovered the losses Somehow I don’t trust the market as economy situation because of COVID is bad, and sooner than later it will drag the market down. What is my best option? Diversify into some recession proof options or just sell all and sit back? Looking at my 401k already discourages me from investing further.
