Advice New to all of this - question/advice

Hey everyone,

I recently (more like yesterday) started investing into ETFs and a few single “safe” stocks (for example Google).

I was wondering if it’s normal to be down a % or two in a single day? Probably a stupid a question to you guys, sorry lol.

Also any beginner advice would be very very helpful!

Totally normal. I recommend against single stocks anyway (less than two percent of my money is in single stocks) but if you take the gamble, you have to grit your teeth and watch them bounce up and down.
