How long does it take to learn the stock market?

Recently, I have noticed there is a craze and excitement among many rural people to get a hand on #stock market. People see them as a quick money making tool. Few of them have left their well paying jobs to trade stocks. Thanks to the easy accessibility to multiple trading apps, an individual can easily open a trading and demat account. Unaware about the charges or fee. They want to start trading and make quick money. There were few who already started dealing in Futures and Option trading. This really amazes me, as I still need to learn this. This made me to wonder,

In my case, I am not pure professional trader, neither hold any huge experince in trading. Infact I prefer to be an investor. I never gave much time to learn trading. But I learned little bit. In the begining,

It was just like learning to drive. It felt scary — You leave the clutch too fast, the car stalls... Brake too hard, and someone behind starts honking!

But over time with patience and practice, things become smooth. Eventually, you’re driving comfortably — even while talking on the phone.

In my opinion, The stock market is the same. At first, it is confusing. But with practice, patience, and discipline, you improve.

Yes, it takes time — But once you learn it, your money starts working for you.

However, finding the craze among my village people, I am wondering, how long would it take them to learn. What you think ?

In good faith - Peace!!
