I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

[@KaitlynMiller-mv8qx]

Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown

[@maryHenokNft]

Agreed, It's essential to diversify your portfolio. While quality stocks are a solid foundation, you should also consider other assets to spread risk. Thankfully, I can attest to the success of this approach aided by professional guidance seeing my portfolio of $330k grow by 15% this year alone... maybe you should do the same.

The Arabic word intifada ( انتفاضة) means "uprising" or "shaking off". It's used to describe periods of intense Palestinian protest against Israel. The term has been used to describe two major uprisings against the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip:

[@apollocreed1000]

There's no occupation. It's fake news

Intifada is accompanied with alot of Islamist terror and history has proven it. The Gazans need to stop Islamist terror ideology. The Islamist objective to eradicate Israel will never be achieved.

[@industryoverviewsonthego2096]

His definition of intifada is false. You just have to google it. It means a civil uprising. Intifada is an Arabic word that literally means “shaking off”, and in the Palestinian context, it is understood to mean a civil uprising.

[@Zkilll]

Correct, and from the river to the sea means let's all live in Lalaland and sing around the campfire. Things have also context and terms of use, most ignorant people who march in support of Hammas have no idea where to place Gaza on the map. Maybe spend the time educating people to seek for deteriorating hate speech and radicalization.

[@farzana6676]

What intifada means linguistically is very different to what it means practically. Im practical terms intifada is simply a call to promote Islamist terror(hostage taking, violence, killing civilians etc.)

Bill is a walking contradiction. He states he supports Israel at all cost and then says he supports the Palestinian plight. He targets the Harvard dean for being ineffective and neutral on campus Israel/ Palestine conflict, calls her a diversity hire and he himself is a legacy alumni who would not have gotten in on his own merit. He is also the Jim Kramer of the HF world, he states his position publicly while staking against his public position privately. Carl Icahn already called him out long ago. The last thing we need is this guy thinking he can run the country.

[@victorblock3421]

Better put than I can do. Ackman is just one of many thousands who have sided with these NaziCommunists from day 1. He is now only or maybe coming around to reality(not) because he's no longer welcome to the party but yet still stupidly insists he's "for a 2 state solution". What a more-on. He just doesn't get it and never will.

Would harvard suspend students if they used the 'N' word against an African American? After all, it's just a word to make the African American feel of a lower status than other people, but it's not calling for their murder. Why is that kind of free speech likely to get them expelled but cheering and calling for the death of Jews is just free speech?
