One up on Wall Street. So that's the book I recommend, One up on Wall Street. Or if you're not sure, if you want a list of books, you can check out my YouTube channel. There's a list of 12 books I recommended. Top books you should read. One upon Wall Street. Peter Lane talks about how to identify an area where you can have an edge. For instance, let's say you're a doctor. Like you Remy, you are a forensic psychiatrist that you're seeing. There's a lot of people being treated with this particular medication. So it spikes your interest. You have an edge. You know more than the average person about medications are using psychiatry or forensic psych. So that could be a place for you to start your research. That doesn't mean buy stocks in that company then or buy stocks in that industry or during COVID We all saw it. We all saw it in our, in our very before, right? We saw what was happening. Pharmaceuticals started getting a lot of funding to do research to find vaccines. Obviously the value of these companies went up over the roof. To an average person, you wouldn't be able to identify what was happening. But to an investor or someone whose mind is trained in investing is thinking what is happening in that sector? Is there an opportunity there? I'll give you an example, another example right before us, AI. Everyone is talking about AI, but you got to build AI. You need chips to build those AI components and all that stuff you need for AI. And then there are companies like Nvidia, which is part of why the value has been going up. So these are like sort of like elementary ways to identify sectors or areas of interest. What I wouldn't do is to invest in a sector I know nothing about because that's gambling. I don't know what you're doing. And in that case, you should just buy a broad, well diversified index fund because you just buy the whole basket. But if you decide to do individual stocks investing or even sector based investing, then you should at least know more than an average person and have an edge and do a bit of research there.
