Chosen by GOBankingRates as a Top Money Expert, Cuban shares his expertise and provides tips on how to build wealth and begin an investment journey.
What’s the No. 1 thing everyone should do to build wealth?
Have appreciable assets. Whether it’s a home or a mutual fund — something that can appreciate in value over the long term
What metrics do you look for/what research do you do to determine if a company is a good investment? Are there also non-quantitative factors you look for?
For private companies, it’s a lot of things. Is it a great entrepreneur, is it a strong product, is it differentiated? For public companies, I recommend people focus on investing in funds. Investing in individual stocks has gotten harder over the years because there is so much money chasing stocks.
What advice would you give someone wanting to start investing but unsure where to begin?
Learn as much as you can but be patient. There are no shortcuts.
