To summarize, Africa is the next land of opportunity

[@wilsonnyah8447]

I like the clear distinction between startups and SMEs. I also appreciate the lady in green stating that SMEs do not have to disguise themselves as startups to get funding. I wish they talked more about VCs which fund SMEs.

I'm not kidding when I say that the market crash and high inflation have me really stressed out and worried about retirement. I've been in the red for a while now and although people say these crisis has it perks, I'm losing my mind but I get it Investing is a long-term game, so focus on the long run.

[@nathanjane7729]

I can’t focus on the long run when I should be retiring in 3years, you see I’ve got good companies in my portfolio and a good amount invested, but my profit has been stalling, does it mean this recession/unstable market doesn’t provide any calculated risk opportunities to make profit?

[@Mathew-bp5bm]

There are many ways to gain mouth-watering profits, particularly in a down market, but such complicated trades can only be executed by qualified market gurus.

I’ve been down a ton, I’m only holding on so I can recoup, I really need help, who is this investment-adviser that guides you ?

[@justinscott6855]

Definitely! All of this happened in less than a year after I researched for his web name ''Jackson Sten Marsh.' told me what to do. I started with less than $100,000, and now I'm about 17,000 short of having a quarter million dollars.

Saddle up. The Fed needs to raise, raise, raise. Interest rates are still way too low. They must crush inflation or you can kiss your wealth goodbye.
