Press Release: Stock markets enjoyed enormous public interest last year, and this trend smoothly extended into 2021. It is not surprising - the media paid more attention to the stock markets even before the coronavirus pandemic, especially in connection with strong stories (e.g. Tesla and personality Elon Musk). The collapse in connection with the corona crisis from March last year represented an imaginary addition of gasoline to the fire. It must be added that it was not just a can of gasoline, but a whole barrel!

The index of the 500 largest companies in the USA (S&P 500) fell by more than 30% in one month, but since the lows of 23/3/2020 it has already managed to grow by almost 100%. Unprecedented fiscal and monetary policy interventions in combination with vaccination have ensured calm among the stock market and the markets continue to grow contentedly to new highs.

We must not forget the unprecedented raid of the so-called reddit investors, who took this year's selected titles by storm. They thus embarked on a fight against large institutions (hedge funds) that were shorting certain stocks on a large scale. Among the most high-profile companies whose shares have caught the eye of investors from the reddit group wallstreetbets are, for example, GameStop ($GME) or AMC Entertainment ($AMC).

A lot has happened, and no one would blame you if you lose track of what's going on in the markets. In times when real fundamentals and financial aspects do not have as much influence as the cult of personality, artificial interventions of central bankers or reddit mania, it is very difficult even for experienced investors to find their way and make the right decision.

However, whatever happens in the markets, proper preparation is the basic building block of success. Markets can remain irrational longer than we remain solvent, and the job of the investor and trader is to adapt to the given market conditions. There is no need to hide from an uncertain situation - we may miss out on interesting opportunities. And it is not even desirable to wrestle with an uncertain situation and try for some hussar tricks - we unnecessarily expose ourselves to the risk of a possible higher loss.

The best thing that a smart investor or trader can do is to have a good plan and perfect preparation - to understand what is happening and to be able to adapt their actions to this current event. It sounds simple, but everyone will surely realize right away that it's not that simple and that someone probably won't come up with it just like that. That is why we, together with stock exchange experts, have prepared a PDF e-book called Investment shares in practice, which is also accompanied by two accompanying videos.
