    The Top 10 Ways You Should NOT Invest Your Money

    We've all been there. Played the market and didn't bring home the big bucks. You're not alone.

    1. By letting your emotions get the best of you

    2. By choosing stocks randomly based on how funny the ticker sounds when you try to say it out loud

    3. By pretending that you have superpowers that help you choose the right stocks to save the day AND your bank account

    4. By relying on advice from your latest awkward date (more drinks don't mean wiser decisions)

    5. By investing everything in the first stock you get excited about

    6. By trying to stay in-the-know with the latest buzz words

    7. By waiting until the last minute and realizing you need help

    8. By relying on the power of magical substances

    9. By pretending you understand how stocks work

    10. By acting like you have a million dollars to waste
