The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

[@Michaelparker12]

This is still a window-shopping market. But there are a lot of intriguing stocks to watch from a variety of sectors. 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.

[@hersdera]

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

[@SandraDave.]

impressive gains! how can I get your advisor please, if you dont mind me asking? I could really use a help as of now

[@hersdera]

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 Melissa Terri Swayne for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing.

[@benjamindavidson22]

3 years ago, I started investing with $300k, but I've only made about 6% total, or 2% per year, which my friends say is very low. I also put $800k into a 401k with a financial advisor, and it's now worth about $1.2 m3 years ago, I started investing with $300k, but I've only made about 6% total, or 2% per year, which my friends say is very low. I also put $800k into a 401k with a financial advisor, and it's now worth about $1.2 million after 10 years. I think I need to revamp my portfolio. Any advice on what to do with my money would be greatly appreciated.

[@phillogan1]

I don.t really know your risk tolerance or asset allocation, sounds like just bad stock picking. Also unclear if the advisor is providing any other value via financial planning or other decision making. But likely-scenario is just bad stock picks. Index -funds, Etfs and -chill.

[@Johnlarry12]

You should de-finitely fire your advisor! That's a bad financial-advisor. Over 5O years of data reveal that those who work with fiduciary advisors typically earn more than those who go it alone. I've been fortunate to work with one for 6 years, resulting in a $3 million-portfolio.

[@johnphilip1]

Your ad-visor must be really good. How I can get in touch? My re-tirement portfolio's decline is a concern, and I could use some guidance.

[@MickyGlover]

I foresee a recession lasting 2--3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal- Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. In-flation 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 glo-bal 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.

[@AmithKaury]

Nu-merous 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 agree-ment allows investors to participate in sophisticated trades, ex-clusive to seasoned individuals, and unavailable to amateurs. Attempting to be a high-stakes trader without an IS-DA is akin to trying to win the Indy 500 riding a llama.-

True. My port...folio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high -dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds.

[@donna_martins]

Yeah, things may be hard right now, but I've come to realize both bear and bull market, recessions and economic boom, all provide opportunities to make high gains, I used to call bluff on folks that bragged about making a fortune from such down-markets until I happened to do so myself

[@Walter_hill_]

I agree. I've been working with a financial advisor since 2020, and I return up to 15k every month, and I don't even have to lift a finger. Although I also think the reason I make this much is because I started with significant capital.

[@Trevor_Morrow_LTD]

That makes a lot of sense. To be on the safer side and not second guess your market decisions, I’d suggest you reach out to a proper investment adviser for guidance, they’re better equipped at understanding market patterns/movements and adjusting portfolio to match up with these market trends

[@Walter_hill_]

There are many independent advisors to choose from. But I work with Vivian Jean Wilhelm and we've been working together for almost four years and she's fantastic. You could pursue her if she meets your requirements. I agree with her.

Well the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward and such impeccable decisions are better guided by professionals, but you need to be a skilled practitioner to carry out such successful transactions.

Indeed, that's accurate. I've been in contact with a financial advisor who manages the entry and exit strategies for my portfolio, which started with an initial reserve of $80K and has since grown to around $550K.

Given the persisting global economic crisis in US, 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.

[@leojack9090]

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.

[@hasede-lg9hj]

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 6years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.
