First time investing

I am a current college student and with the massive fall in the market over the last few months I feel this is a really good opportunity to invest in the stock market for the first time. I have read multiple articles online about what to look for in a company before investing; balance sheets, income and cash flow statements as well as reading other analysts reports on each company. I am just wondering if you have any advice on other things to look out for before investing/ Any help is appreciated, Thank you

Just invest in VOO and let it sit. Unless you’re planning to put a large amount of time in analyzing company return data and balance sheet strength I would just take a passive approach.

Im currently 45% VOO 25% DIA 35% NDAQ

When I back tested this with monthly balancing it outperformed the market on a risk adjusted basis. Also look into leveraged ETFs like SPXL or TQQQ if you are confident in the direction of the market.
