"You need a lot of money to start." Fractional shares mean you can start with whatever you have.
"Investing is basically gambling." Gambling has no underlying value driving the outcome. A share of a real, profitable company does.
"You have to watch the market constantly." A long-term, automated plan needs far less daily attention than people assume, and usually performs better than a plan someone's actively tinkering with.
"You need to be an expert to invest well." You need to understand the basics of diversification and time horizon. That's a far lower bar than "expert."
"The market always recovers quickly." Recoveries can take years. Plan your timeline with that in mind, not with the best-case scenario.
"Getting rich quick is possible through stocks." Occasionally, sure. Reliably, no. The entire premise of long-term investing is trading speed for consistency.
"Once you invest, you can't touch it." Most brokerage accounts are liquid. The discipline not to touch it is a choice, not a rule.
Believing any of these usually costs people either an opportunity or a mistake. Neither is necessary once you know which myth you were operating on.
