I regularly ponder how top level investors are able to be millionaires off investing. I've got a critical amount of capital that needs to be started, but I don't even know what methodologies or paths will help me make decent profits.

[@kelinicole-r5t]

Having a mentor is my personal recommendation. It seems like a good bet if you have limited market knowledge, but I'm not sure where you'll find an experienced one.

[@carzoneGM]

You are right! I've diversified my portfolio across various markets with the aid of a financial adviser, I have been able to generate a little bit above $450k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

[@SuperDevon1994]

who is your financial coach, do you mind hooking me up?

[@carzoneGM]

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've been stuck with *KAREN* *MARIE* *GENDRON* for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.

[@SuperDevon1994]

Thanks for this. I just googled her name and found her webpage. I'm really impressed with her credentials and I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.

I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

Numerous opportunities exist to achieve substantial profits at present, but executing high-volume and nearly flawless trades requires the expertise of real-time professionals with an ISDA Agreement. This agreement allows investors to participate in sophisticated trades, exclusive to seasoned individuals, and unavailable to amateurs. Attempting to be a high-stakes trader without an ISDA is akin to trying to win the Indy 500 riding a llama.

[@Kaustavpatell]

I'm sure the idea of an invstment-Adviser might sound controversial to a few, but a new study by Motley-fool found out that demand for Financial-Advisers sky-rocketed by over 42% since the pandemic and based on firsthand encounter I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch. I've accrued north of 580k within 16-months from an initially stagnant Portf0lio worth 85K

[@Monicamonasky-]

Inflation is over 10% here in the UK, but as we know it's definitely way more than the Government would like to admit. My plan is to earn more passive income and ride this out, can your Investment-adviser assist?

[@Kaustavpatell]

Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I’ve been with 'MICHELE KATHERINE SINGH' for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing.

[@Monicamonasky-]

She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search for her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.

[@your_being_led_by_your_nose]

Because the corporations and manufacturers want their money. Regardless of shipping.

[@kylegross1081]

Yeah conjuring trillions into existence has nothing to o with it.. smh

[@maxangeles6279]

why do you want rate cuts????????? we want inflation down!! Only keeping rates higher can reduce inflation! You are nuts to want rate cuts.

[@upticktrade]

The problem is the Fed does not understand Economic 101.

[@williambudd2850]

No, the problem is that the consumer continues to spend unnecessarily.

[@mannydavidcastillo1109]

500/600 a month just on groceries for two people it’s just bananas

[@russellschaeffler]

No meat or vegetables?

[@your_being_led_by_your_nose]

I thought retirement with good SS and two pensions, House paid off, etc. would be different. Now there are four places to get your goods and shipping is really screwed up. It isn’t the retailer, it’s the manufacturers. They keep making their money, but at our expense. They Just raise the price.

[@williambudd2850]

When people stop spending money, inflation will come down and only then can the FED lower interest rates and prices will stabilize. If however you don’t stop spending, companies will continue to raise prices and the FED will be forced to raise interest rates even higher and you will feel the pain.

[@xst-k6]

Inflation is transitionary they said 😂

[@snape57]

Disappointing to see so many Feds were unable to sniff this Inflation issue initially 😒

[@ChadBlevins]

How's the view from the back seat?

[@PeterParker-wj3cr]

@@ChadBlevins lol

[@kylegross1081]

@ChadBlevins many people so this coming 4 years ago when these goofs conjured trillions of dollars into existence. It’s not rocket science

[@WilliamMartin-r3s]

Why would rates get cut higher rates are normal

[@mrnice9922]

Ban central bank executives from delivering paid lectures after retirement or getting higher paying jobs with lenders and they will start thinking about common men rather than lenders.

[@X_crypto1977]

Reform the nationwide supply chain and delivery services into the most efficient model possible. Like magic…cash flow, revenue and “growth” will increase. We don’t need 100k in supplies sitting idle on shelves labeled as inventory. We don’t need material managers front ordering inventory that only ends up in a dumpster. We need them to replace materials when they are used. We need an efficient, consistent, reliable, and cheap way of getting stuff from point A to B.

[@lokesh303101]

I am Sorry to say can't afford to Raise but for the Loose and for the Cut meant for the Squeeze.

[@jhull5870]

I believe that inflation will pick up and that the FED should have raised rated months ago. One item that gets little attention is the effect of all of these recent storm events and the damage to property , etc. I would think that the cost of repairs will cause prices to rise.

[@mariehod4767]

u are all Wrong everything will be closing we are DONE as america, everything is DONE the way we knew it, need a new way call Universal basic income before everything closes

[@disneytakeshugedix7463]
