Are we headed into a recession in 2025?

[@TeresaMicheals]

I’ve been reading up on the economic indicators, and it seems like a recession could be looming in 2025. Inflation is already eating away at savings, and now interest rates are still high. What’s everyone doing to prepare?

[@Robby767]

Honestly, I’m worried too. My portfolio took a massive hit during the last downturn, and I don’t want a repeat. I think a lot of us underestimated how quickly things could spiral. Diversifying now feels like a priority.

[@louisahernandez]

That’s what I’ve been thinking about, too. I’ve seen people try to time the market, but it rarely works. In times like this, not having a solid plan or sticking with emotionally driven decisions can be disastrous. I’m looking for a way to stabilize my portfolio before things potentially get worse.

[@Kseniaramesh]

Agreed, I've always delegated my excesses to an advisor, since suffering major portfolio loss early 2020, amid covid outbreak. I'm now semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week, with barely 25% short of my $3.4m retirement goal after subsequent investments to date

[@MONROEJACQ]

Thanks for sharing your experience! I've been managing my portfolio myself, but it's not working out. Do you have any recommendations for a good investment advisor? I could really use some help

[@Kseniaramesh]

My CFA, Joseph Nick Cahill, is a renowned figure in his field. I recommend researching his name online; you'll find all his credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, he is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

Trump's comments have a psychologically chilling effect. People will save and not spend for a few years. The recession has begun.

[@abcdedfg8340]

Trump is worth watching, but our problems are more home-grown. I think we need to start treating workers better. Germany and france are more productive per hour than the united states in many cases. They provide decent pay, 5 or 6 weeks off so employees are motivated and not burned out, and decent protection for families and employee rights. If you dont want to treat employees with respect as japan did, then expect stagnation. Or get that 30 percent productivity boost from letting employees enjoy life. Enough of the american model. Its time to leave it behind. It led to trump and destroyed the middle class struggling with medical bills and student debt. We need to create a satisfied and productive middle class like in western europe. This middle class could also support business and keep spending up so we can have a more stable economy and society as it used to before the 1980's when we decided that making the top1 percent richer while everyone else fought for scraps was a better idea. Because who in the middle class would want to be able to afford to enjoy life, afford a house, or afford a family? According to some people, we should just work into burnout, race to the bottom for wages, and make a society just like Japan where the economy is stagnant, people are burned out out, and they cannot afford homes or families in many cases. Great idea. Just my opinion.

Canadian businesses not investing in Cda mainly because of high interest and anti business govt policy. Just looked at recent Bce decision to cut 20% investment in Cda and invested 6 billion in US... thanks to trudeau abd crtc..

[@hentaicrypto]

@@Brained05 You are right it doesn't have much to do with rates. The root cause of the decline is that there are too many idealist Marxist academics advising politicians.

In light of the impending recession and the fact that inflation is still far higher than the Fed's 2% target, several of the most prominent market analysts have been expressing their views on how terrible they believe the next downturn will be and how far stocks may have to fall. I need advice on what investments to make because I'm attempting to create a portfolio for my children that will at least be $800k in value.

[@LUCIASMITH-d1z]

There are many interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.

[@richardhudson1243]

Only a good FA will be enough to guide you through the current market volatility. I've been speaking with an advisor for a while now, primarily because I don't have the necessary expertise or stamina to handle these recurrent market conditions. The fact that I made over $300K during this downturn proved that there is more to the market than the typical person is aware of. The greatest course of action right now is to have an investing consultant, especially for people who are nearing retirement.

[@HittingWithB]

Yeah. Wondering why the market hasn’t reflected it. Could it be due to the high volatility keeping stocks funded?

[@abcdedfg8340]

I don't think so. We are beginning to fix the housing market and now the middle class it seems too. Wages have been stagnant for the middle class for 4 decades. The last decade was even more brutal for the middle class as housing and rental costs skyrocketed, and now that problem is being fixed steadily. So I expect it to take some time to fix the imbalance. I suspect much more spending has finally begun to move from rent and mortgages to supporting businesses that results in more long term jobs over time and across more industries. I can personally attest that among the people I know, things are finally starting to slowly improve in terms of housing affordability, and even many are starting to see better benefits and wages. While I think that we need to manage our economy and society well to protect the middle class, I am skeptical because it seems to me even possible recessions that have not yet happened are used as excuses to drive down wages. But this is strictly my personal opinion.

What I can say is is the people I know are better off than a few years ago. Wages, work conditions, and housing are all finally starting to get fixed after 40 years of stagnation. But its going to take time. I know the people who own mega-yachts in exotic locations may not be happy with that, but there are many more middle class people than them. If the middle class makes more money, then the mega-yacht owners may have more investment opportunities. Also it will better support our businesses and creating good long term jobs.
