I love your bluntness. Most people will not pay attention to the actual data and the numbers. They make large-scale assumptions based on how they feel versus what's actually happening or the trend or what data is saying

For those who might not know what levels I am talking about Gandalf 2023 = 3.37% line in the sand Hodor hold the line 2024 = 3.80% Similar talking point to early in the year when we got to 3.80% on the 10-year yield To go below here and head much lower, you need 1. Economic and Labor data weakness 2. Better Mortgage spreads (Half of the big move lower is already done here) 3. The Fed gets more dovish 2024 forecast range 5.75%-7.25% for rates

Given the persisting global economic crisis, it's essential for individuals to focus on diversifying their income streams independent of governmental reliance. This involves exploring options such as stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the adversity in the economy, now is an opportune moment to contemplate these investment avenues.

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.

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.

[@emmapriscilla6132]

I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like Monica Lisa Payne who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
