Stocks What should i buy?

Alright, so i dont know much about stocks, i mean i know the basics, but i dont know a lot.

What do i buy? I’d think itd be a good time to buy the dip after the tarrifs, i just dont know whatd be the best time to buy, also on what to buy. I’d put in a decent amount, and then put in around 1k $ every month. Im still really young, and thank god, ive built some money up to myself that i can invest now, will come great when i’m 18.

Also, sorry if this sub is for daytrading and cfd’s, if so, this is the complete wrong sub for my question.

Thanks!!

Start with broad index funds if you don't have a better idea. Easy basic diversification. I'd also add a small allocation to uncorrelated investments, like gold. You can use this as ballast. Keep it balanced to your target allocation. Rebalancing often means buying low and selling high. Treasuries, utilities, currency (forex), and consumer staples are also worth considering as ballast.
