Baba keeps on insisting that I learn Trading

Taaza Tareen

Well not exactly Trading but he wants something like it. I am still a Student doing my Undergraduate. If I had to guess he probably watches some videos on tiktok and heard about it and now wants me to do it too. Same thing with one of my uncles. So much so that both of them have at more than 4 occasions now offered to give me around 4 lakhs JUST to Learn and see.

But I have been just pushing it away. Idk anything about finance. Most of our money is sitting in a bank account in Meezan where we get about 7% in return. I just keep on telling them that it's best to just Put our money into a decent return- low risk/charges account. And that we shouldn't think about Active Investment/Trading like they have probably heard someone make a Fortune in on Tiktok. They know the risks- kind of- I have tried conveying to the best of my knowledge. But even after that they still suggested that I best learn something about it myself. I have suggested talking to some Professional but Baba is hesitant and wants me to be well informed on it by myself.
