Building Smart Investors is a meetup that examines the role of education in long-term success within financial markets. Held on May 13, 2026, at AMAR in Cluj-Napoca, the event addresses why many participants enter trading and investing with unrealistic expectations around quick gains. It focuses on building a clearer understanding of risk, strategy, and market behavior through structured discussion. The program covers distinctions between investing, trading, and speculation, common errors that lead to losses, how knowledge compounds in decision-making, and the contributions of discipline, psychology, and risk management. Experts from traditional markets and crypto provide perspectives on navigating different conditions.
