Would you seek financial advice from TikTok or YouTube?

With the development of the internet era, social media's influence is growing, and so is its impact on investments.

Surveys show that 34% seek financial advice from TikTok, 33% obtain financial advice from YouTube, while only 24% seek advice from financial advisors.

 

As individual investors, where do you get investment advice?

  • TikTok has captured the hearts of most users due to its short content format and straightforward expression;

  • YouTube provides videos of around 10-20 minutes, allowing investors to gain a deeper understanding of financial concepts;

  • Pro financial advisors can provide detailed investment plans and advice, but generally at a high cost.

Retail investors want pro and free financial advice

Most investors may want to obtain investment tips from professional financial experts for free on financial platforms. This has become a trend in financial platforms today.

However, identifying who is a professional investor and determining whether financial content is beneficial have become the most concerning issues for individual investors.

Why not consider obtaining trading clues from Trade Feed, where you can follow investors with high winning rates and similar trading styles.

    🌟🌟🌟投资在很大程度上是一个个人之旅,虽然向专家学习很好,但认识到盲目跟随的陷阱也很重要。我喜欢阅读《华尔街日报》、路透社以及《商业时报》和《边缘》等当地报纸的最新消息。我也看YouTube视频,但我对这些有选择性。

    我也订阅老虎交易订阅,在那里我可以找到我的一些老虎朋友是如何交易的。这是一个有价值的资源,加上老虎证券每天发布的其他文章,我可以获得金融市场最新消息的快照。最终,我有责任决定哪些新闻是相关的,哪些新闻适合我的投资策略。

      No matter what the experts may say at the end, it is up to us to do our own due diligence.

    这些只是平台。更重要的是谁是内容创作者。如果它是一个可信的创造者,它就是一个潜在的来源。当然,如果一个人不确定,寻求建议也是很重要的

    some financial advisors have turned to Tik Tok / YouTube and other social media platforms to talk about financial, investment, etc. these are the platforms that can reach masses and gain a wider audiences.

    some of them are actual financial advisors while some... not quite so I guess it's good to listen to them (those legit ones), their analysis, explanation, etc...

    however, please do not take their words and invest blindly without doing further research as they may not be always right in their predictions.

    take charge of your own finances and investment and always trade within limit. always remember to have risk management and have a diversify portfolio.

    this way, you can ensure you sleep well at night.

    我从我的HNW朋友那里得到了投资建议。他FA超级好但是TA不好。而我擅长TA,几乎了解SG市场的最新动态。因此,我依靠他的FA来帮助我进入购买股票。


    有时候,我确实会看那些youtube,不禁会想,他们是在提供真正的建议,还是试图在一些股票上攻击其他youtube。


    无论如何,请听完youtube或tik tok后DYODD。

    当我第一次开始我的投资之旅时,还没有抖音。Youtube主要用于观看搞笑或音乐视频。也许那是gd的事情。我不得不在图书馆露营,借书来学习投资。这是一个缓慢而痛苦的过程。但我觉得这是值得的,因为youtube和社交媒体上有许多欺诈和自称的专家。


    当我们进一步挖掘他们的背景时,有些人拥有虚假的资产价值,显示虚假的结果,有些人只显示成功的交易,有些人只有1-2年的经验,表现得像是主题专家,他们喜欢在股票或期权投资(出售课程和软件,或“牵手”)之外寻找收入。外面是狂野的西部。


    任何人都可以买一把枪开始射击,甚至不在乎他们是否能击中目标或意外杀人。


    有真正的&适当的大师,但他们通常促进缓慢和稳定的投资,这是不受年轻人欢迎的。

    I personally don't use those platforms for financial advice - but if I did it'd be prudent to still do your own research rather than just trusting their stock picks

    youtube the channels and people are more informative in their longer video, but the annoying things are the advertisements.. so many of them !!!

    tik tok I like all the short entertaining videos that are randomly shown to individuals which we wouldn't have knew or come across in our life .

    but for investment advice i will still go for youtube .

    I get mine from @Adam Khoo on YouTube actually.. His investing and trading style resonates with mine. No strategy is perfect, you just need to find one that suits your style, risk appetite and investment horizon.

    TikTok & YouTube are free social media platforms that provide information in bite sizes. pros & cons to free info available online. as long as gen z do their due diligence before diving in head first, no harm using these platforms as first point of financial advice

    I follow reputable financial channels on YouTube, such as 陈剑老师, 小Lin说, Adam Khoo, and Mr. Money TV. They provide valuable insights into basic financial knowledge and explain the current financial landscape. Compared to books, news and radio, their content is more accessible to the public anytime anywhere. However, it's important to be cautious and avoid blindly following buying/selling advice from self-proclaimed "gurus."

    I wonder about who creates the content on these sites/apps and for what agenda. I feel there are a lot of avenues for online information which are only there to make noise and steer you to a dead end. People go on and on about liquidity and how there’s not enough for everyone to get rich. So isn’t it in some of these “news” source companies to misinform the reader or viewer in order to get them to invest in chatter, rather than quality, good growth stocks using strong analysis of fundamentals, technicals, global business news etc.? Sorry, but for me “Motley Fool” is one of these chatter “news” sites. I used to follow some of their advice about “winning” stocks, and lost out every single time. They need some people to lose their $, so that prices of the real “winning” stocks can be relatively safe and steady. Too high too quickly can mean what goes up must come down…DYOR & use videos from reputable sources or individuals who have no conflict of interest for learning about TA, FA period.

    I do refer to Youtube for financial advice at times. However, at the end of the day, you still have to do your own due diligence [serious] [Victory]

    I think I will just stick with my own research. If not pro financial advisor will be my first choice.
