The one thing I hope (to people who are investing right now) that they do not get discouraged with current market conditions and just quit and get the bad experience that they might later on put on the future generations.

Give it time, get detached from the market noise & just either a) invest in ETFs (set it & forget it) or b) invest in good well managed companies w/ positive cash flows

& keep learning via books & audio/video from credited sources like Warren Buffett or Peter Lynch or Phil Town
