Why still not trading?

There is a saying that "when there is greed be fearfull and when everyone is fearfull be greedy". Now every tom dick and harry is talking about investing in market and earning great returns. Are we in a bubble ? There is no easy money in markets but currently u will get lot of advice on which stocks to buy from everywhere. What should one do? Pause SIP , remove all money from stocks park it in Liquid fund, FD, bonds, do nothing? Thoughts

Is it thrill? Or easy gain? Excitement? Or easy is boring?

Recently can see many ppl discussing about trading in stocks than investment. Also I do feel that the likely hood of Zerodha and other platforms to grow with the number of demat accounts being opened is increasing every year. So will trading become a common thing which many would try as a part time and turn into full time with the catastrophic growth that everyone is projecting india in next 10 years ?

I am good with equity investing would like learn trading. There are a lot of resources and scam shops to teach. I don't want to fall for any con so asking you expert to share their firsthand experience. Thanks in advance.

I have been investing in stocks as a side gig (since undergrad) and now full time trader for about 5 years Not RJ /WB returns but decent to enjoy non corporate life (I also have rental income to sustain). More and more people I speak to, they are misguided by youtube / telegram influencers. Drop in your queries and I will try my best to help. Not selling or providing tips to buy / sell.

People say you can't time the market but I am curious what is the junta on Grapevine thinking about investing in the current times. Also where do I invest now? I have some 1L to invest that would not impact my current liquidity.

Whenever I read articles on this topic, they give theoretical explanation and pointers. However, they lack practical examples related to the point they're explaining. If you're aware of courses or articles that explain stocks with examples and case studies, please share it. Thanks in advance.

I currently have around 8L lump sum available to invest and was looking into equity funds. however most the SIPs are at an all time high. I don’t wish to reallocate my portfolio a lot, so I’m looking at it for the long term (~4-5 years minimum), but wished to make sure I’m investing at the right point. is there anyone who’s stuck in a similar situation, what would you recommend? (do think that 2024 will be more growth driven for the economy than 2023) looking to put it in with the following split: 50% - Large Cap 30%- Mid Cap 20% - Small Cap should I wait some time or put it directly in?
