Hi! I'm an Indian looking to start investing in the US stock market with $88k. Should I focus on index funds or individual stocks? Also, any tips on handling currency exchange rates? Thanks!

[@PhoenixReborn-v6v]

With $88k, I'd suggest a mix of index funds and a few individual stocks. Diversify and watch currency rates by converting in smaller amounts. Good luck!

[@Damncars456]

Index funds are a safer bet to start. They offer good diversification. For currency, keep an eye on the Rupee's strength-convert when rates are favorable.

[@DreamweaverShade-h9p]

Individual stocks can be great but do your research. The US market is different-consider consulting a CFP before jumping in to avoid costly mistakes

[@Tsunaniis-j5l]

Pls how can i meet this advis0r? i want someone to help me invest an Inheritance, i dont want to lose it to inflation

[@DreamweaverShade-h9p]

I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations since this is an online forum and everyone situation is unique, but I've worked with Melissa Elise Robinson for years and highly recommend her. Look her up to see if she meets your criteria.

Thanks Mate, the sad truth is that no one has a clue, we all react to what happens as it happens and try to analyse it but can’t predict an iota of what is going to unfold in the markets… content creators are like amplifiers, when times are good they affirm it and try to tell you why it’s good and that it’s looking bullish but then all of a sudden the market turns bearish and everyone affirms it again and try to analyse why… it’s so sad that many are so powerless and it's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady during trading...managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 19Bitcoin in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Sandy Barclays, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

[@xiartist]

Sandy Barclays program is widely available online..

[@MozzNik]

The market has gone berserk! whether you're a newbie or a veteran trader, everyone needs a sort of coach at some point to thrive forward.

[@xSMILEx24]

I appreciate the professionalism and dedication of the team behind Sandy’s trade signal service.

[@AdrianPieciorek]

The clarity and precision in Sandy’s market predictions are astounding. I'm so grateful to have found her reviews here on KZbin as well.

[@ajmagnu]

Due to the recent fall in the market, I don't think it's advisable selling, it would be more beneficial and yield more profit...

[@MatthewMcmullen-io9pd]

I could listen to this guy talk about economics all day in his Italian accent.

[@eddiebeer4516]

Great interview. As far as the Fed cutting rates or not, there is a narrative I would like to point out. The Fed may WANT to crash the markets.

[@dodoboy66]

Nice interview. Very insightful and helpful.

[@GRumpyonekinobi]

Ryans a great interviewer. I like hearing from Alf.

[@BluegrassStoic]

What do you think of the assertion that we've already been in a recession for the last year, or that there's always a rolling recession somewhere in the economy? Mainly I wonder if this would lessen the magnitude of the recession if and when it comes.

[@bombast9866]

One long ad. Fuq dat. Not watching

[@nfranceschina]

really cleared some questions in my mind that have been rattling around for a long time... like "who cares if they raise interest rates, most people have fixed mortgages"..... but NOT IN 2008! everyone was gambling with variable-rate because "home prices are always going to go up!" geez... now I have to go watch The Big Short again :)

[@siddhartha-1-4-u]

love to see him on once a qtr...esp. in this time of big change

[@deltacodealpha]

/b When someone on your show says crypto doesn't have cashflows. come on guys, I wish you would say but ETH does, or USDC does. Don't let those gems go unanswered

[@beautifulpeopleonearth]

The Fed's talk of interest rate cut leaves me pondering what stocks/crypto to buy now and when do I sell? I'm unsure how to properly allocate my money to achieve an optimal portfolio in this present economy, my goal is $3m for retirement.

WE MUST build a new currency - detached from USD. Bitcoin is a great universal collateral from which to build. That FED has this much control over USD is insane. New currency would be built on TRUE Free Markets, high interest rates if the market demands it. USD needs HIGHER rates, not lower! 12% mortgage is historic average.

GREAT SHOW BROTHER

[@aw7614]

man this was incredibly bearish to hear market pumping now.. good time to exit ? 😂 unfortunately holding cash is almost as painful as holding eth at this point (sorry guys lol)

[@Penetratosaurus]

Amazing crossover. I freakin' love Alf and the Macro Trading Floor

[@dre44r56]

Gold in a recession, seriously! Because it's done so well in the past. No thanks, I'll stick with Bitcoin.

[@Rawsavon]

David: "Have we held interest rates at record high levels for too long..." Bruh... If you expand your timeline beyond this most recent "blip", interest rates are still very low. Just talk to any boomers out there about rates throughout their lifetime.

[@Dex4Sure]

national debt was nowhere close to current levels, so these rates are far higher relative to national debt than ever before.

[@Rawsavon]

@@Dex4Sure Several things incorrect about your statement... a. They were not discussing debt as this was near the beginning of the conversation, and this is an error that Bankless continues to make (most number go up peeps are making the same error by failing to look past this most recent few years 'blip' in time). Interest rates are actually still quite low (just not compared to the last few years). Just look back to recent times in the 80's when they were around 20%. b. Debt, by itself, is not an issue. It is not the overall number that matters. You have to consider a couple things with debt: -Is it a good investment or malinvestment (does this road spur growth/make money or is this a ghost city that brings in nothing) -What is the ratio (not the overall number)...a person making 10k a year and taking on a million dollar debt is far different than a billionaire taking on that same debt. c. As mentioned above, you have to consider the ratio (debt to GDP), and this is another spot where your statement was incorrect. We have seen times where our debt to GDP ratio was just as bad as it is now. So this is not unprecedented, and rates, historically speaking, are still low. Though I am certainly not saying that our debt is not an issue.

Thanks for the show, this guy was super interesting

[@mus8189]

imagine bringing a bond market guy to a crypto show... these guys don't know crypto

[@Sumojoe-g3q]

Its insane, this guy never mentions gold or crypto, even when t screams in his face..... he pays to come on this show probably

[@oohmybuddha123]

This guy has been calling recession since 2022. Why should it be true now?

[@mr.p7616]

I have a theory regarding risk assets that in some ways has proven to play itself out recently. With the rampant inflation, taxation and lack of growth in the economy, the average investor is looking for a lottery ticket rather than some blue chip stock. The traditional stock investment isn’t going to change their situation, thus a lot of crypto investors are investing in small caps, that have the potential to change their fortunes. So regardless if the next Pepe meme coin is a sound investment, that’s where the money is going. I believe, high risk assets will sky rocket as BTC will inevitably take its rightful place as a hedge against a collapsing financial system.

Alf been calling for a recession for over a year now lmfao 😂 if you keep at repeating the same thing (and just change the explnation every few months) youll be right eventually!

[@johnconnor2572]

3 seconds fell off Jk ily there is no meme

[@jimmim3000]

Alf and these guys have no idea what they're talking about. The economy is completely rekt and there are no jobs. It's ridiculous that they're talking about crypto like it's trad-fi. Even mentioning gold on this channel is so cringe.

[@ANTREU96]

Why is debt always seen as a bad thing but the solution is always cuts and never taxation to the literal millions of millionaires (and don't tell me that they put their money off shore, that is false)
