In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

[@jessicasquire]

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

[@Lemariecooper]

Despite utilizing the correct strategies and possessing the right assets, there can still be variations in the investment returns among different investors. It is important to acknowledge that experience plays a crucial role in investment success. Personally, I realized the significance of this and sought the guidance of a market analyst, which enabled me to substantially grow my account to nearly a million. I strategically withdrew my profits just before the market correction, and now I am taking advantage of the buying opportunities once again.

It’s important to choose stocks that are expected to hold uo in inflationary environments. To combat the negative effect of inflation, it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation. I have seen People making up to $500k in a month during high inflation

[@alexyoung3126]

One strategy is to invest in assets that performs well during inflation. Another strategy is to focus on companies that have the ability to pass on price increases to their customers. Its also important to maintain a diversified portfolio. It may be a good idea to speak with a financial adviser who can help you develop a customized investment strategy based on your individual goals and risk tolerance

[@joesphcu8975]

I used to manage my stock portfolio by myself, all that time I did not make any significant returns (but also did not suffer losses). Then out of nowhere 2008 happened, and I lost 50% of my savings in a very short period. That prompted me to hire a F.A. Since then I have been learning a lot about the stock market and I have made up to $1M in returns

Despite the fact that I invest, I am disheartened by my incapacity to assess each company's performance and decide whether or not now is the best moment to buy stocks. Inflation is consuming my money supply. I now require accurate market trajectory data, but I'm not sure what to do about it.

[@anthonybonarte5861]

There are several opportunities to produce high returns, especially in this depressed market, but such complex transactions can only be executed by seasoned market professionals.

[@khalilronnie]

@@anthonybonarte5861 I fully agree, which is why I enjoy delegating decision-making to an investing coach. It is virtually difficult for them to underperform given their specific knowledge and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is focused on leveraging risk for its asymmetrical potential and restricting it as a buffer against certain negative developments. I've worked with an investment coach for more than two years and have made over a million dollars.

Investors can’t predict the future, bearish periods automatically give way for a new set of stocks to buy and watch while setting the stage for a new profitable uptrend. I have come across articles of people that grossed profits up to $250k during this crash, what are the best stocks to put on a watch list or buy at the moment?

[@kaylawood9053]

It's precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don't have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.

Cool guest, 1:39 he's talking about the fed's balance sheet being so negative and he says, "It's not exactly a practical problem, but it is a highly important symbolic one." Meaning, imo, that with the dollar so dominant the fed can continue to run negative but it speaks to broader systemic problems. Excellent. This guy has been in it so loong, is always interesting and always negative, or famously negative, I think.

We need to work out a more perfect ways of doing business with the rest of the world. Is obvious that the old way is not working anymore and we need to change the path. China is moving very far ahead of us now when it comes to economy. weather is called whiff of stagflation or not, let's take the money we are using in fighting a senseless war in Ukraine and develop our infrastructures, bring back companies that can create jobs for people. Also now I think is better for any reasonable person to start investing in solid minerals like Gold,Lithiun, Silver, Tin, Oil and Gas. this is where the rest of the world are turning into now.

[@mikealhertzman2530]

I strongly believe your opinion. Last year was a very terrible year in my life, I almost lost everything in bitcoin/stock market. But fortunately, this year I engaged with Nestrade investment and Thank God so far. Nestrade is a firm that will teach and guide you on business opportunities. They bring investment to investors.

[@andersonstew4928]

Yes true, let's start buying shares and start investing beyond the US boundaries. I know that most German now invest in Other countries like Croatia, with China stock brokers, who help them in building their business empire. I guess is wise and better to invest with Firms that serves as a mediators between big investors and small investors.

[@olivergeorge8788]

Yes diversifying the economy is the best way to go now. America US$ still poses superior above other currencies in the world. Is more better for Americans to start buying shares and investing in physical wealth, the monetary assert is going down on daily. I know of euro trade and Nestrade investment firms. These 2 firms invest in physical projects and then sell shares to investors. They secure big projects and sell shares to investors.

I have been too embarrassed to post anything prior to today but maybe somebody here has some input. If my investments do well this year I MAY be back to the same total dollar value I had in October of 2021. So that is perhaps 2 years at no growth. This year my 83 year old mother told me she put SOME of her funds in a GIC that is paying her 5 percent. If I earned 5% on my investments these days I’d be jumping for joy. Is the buy and hold forever strategy the right move, or do I need a better financial advisor? They have NONE of my money in GIC;s or anything like that.

Oh no, 2 years without growth, you poor thing. Nevermind the previous 2 years delivering a 50% return through a global pandemic. How are you coping with this tremendous loss? Sorry, not loss... lack of gain? Pathetic.

Numbers aside, Is Communism compatible with Free Enterprise? Here is the fundamental reason why it is not. Free enterprise was created by free people with individual liberty protected by law, (vast majority in the USA and the rest in Europe). Our elected handed over our free enterprise, (and our lives), to communism in china (with no expensive EPA regulations ever added to the trade agreements, and are only a hindrance to Western Culture, note) starting in 1978. But communism does not respect individual liberty at all, so proper/moral business can not be had with communism, as poverty grows in the USA and Europe. There is not an Economist in the world who understands that to the core of philosophy. One huge problem we have is,---we will accept money from anybody no matter how immoral they are. The fix? Spread individual liberty protected by law, with the right of the citizenry to create and compete in free enterprise, all over the world. And get rid of this crappy education system that has also been taken over by communism, that taught our economists that freedom and communism are compatible. Doug in Michigan

[@mccormyke]

The tax exemot obscenely rich will find sime way to hurt workers. Federal Reserves wants wages to be just enough to subsist & calls anything above this dangerously inflationary. We don't have inflatiin anyway. We have Greedflatiin & Federal Reserve knows this as well as we do. The massive free money debt cirporatiobs used to buy back their stocks at far above valuation somehow is not inflationary at all.
