I appreciate your commitment to educating your audience. We all strive for financial stability and a better life, which can be achieved through smart investments, thrifty living, and meticulous budgeting. I'm thankful for learning the value of hard work for financial freedom early on.

[@StocksWolf752]

Even though I engage in investing, I feel disheartened by my lack of expertise in assessing the performance of individual companies and determining the optimal timing for stock purchases. The erosion of my financial reserves due to inflation adds to my concerns. At this point, I require precise market trajectory information, but I find myself unsure about the appropriate course of action.

[@EleanorBaker474]

I’m a contractor, and my job doesn’t permit me the time to properly analyze my holdings/evaluate stocks myself, so I’ve had a fiduciary actively restructuring my portfolio for the past 7 years now to match the present market condition and that’s how I’ve been able to stay afloat, knowing when to buy and sell…maybe you should do the same.

[@DilaraKamelya]

The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.

To be honest I have no reason to regret so far.

I first heard about Larry kent nick on KZbin. I was skeptical at first, but since I kept reading good reviews and seeing the name a lot, I decided to give it a try.

1. Know what you own = most people own stocks they don't know anything about. A true business owner always knows what business he's doing. Know the business ,know the story. 2. It's futile to predict the economy, interst rates and stock market => people love to do this, but this would be uselful, why wouldn't anyone want to know when the recession is, or which stock will go up and which will go down. 3. The stock doesn't know you own it => don't care whether mr. Market goes up or goes down, ignore it. Just invest wisely in a great business and hold it forever.

Could someone please explain -- or point me to an explanation about -- the mechanics behind his interest rates example at 37:50 when he said "if you can be right five times in a row on $10 grand, you can have $2 billion..."? Obviously he was being facetious in regard to the likelihood of someone actually achieving such an improbable string of correct bets but i'm unsure as to what specific underlying principle of interest rates mechanics he was talking about hypothetically leveraging to see, what seems like, an exponential return. (I wouldn't have asked here in the comments if i hadn't already, first, struck out on my own in my efforts to find the answer with google. ---- In advance: to anyone who's taken the time to read this, let alone to leave any insight they may have, THANK YOU!)
