Asset allocation for 2025: Time to put cash to work in the markets?

[@05kkmujgaa]

Increasing tax rates are the reason I rolled over my 401k to a Roth. I don’t want to be 59 paying taxes on current income on withdrawals made from my retirement account. I'm now seeking best possible areas or strategy to keep my retirement contributions on track to my $5m goal.

[@user-567-ut]

Pre-tax contributions may help reduce income taxes in your pre-retirement years while after-tax contributions may help reduce your income tax burden during retirement.

[@JakePeterson-n9d]

That's right, My advisr helped me rebalance my $2m portfolio without triggering capital gains taxes by using tax-advantaged accounts and reallocating dividends and new contributions. They also recommended tax-loss harvesting and strategies to stay within my tax bracket. Thanks to her guidance, I maintained my desired asset allocation while minimizing taxes.

[@EarlDavidson-c7q]

Your investment adviser must be really good, I hope it's okay to inquire if you're still collaborating with the same investment adviser and how I can get in touch with them?

[@JakePeterson-n9d]

There are a handful of CFAs out there. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I’ve stuck with ZAREEN GRACE CHURCH for some years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s known in her field-look her up.

[@SkepticalMechanic-l9x]

glad to have stumbled upon this, curiously inputted her on the web, easily spotted her consulting page and was able to schedule a call session. Ive seen commentary about advisers but not this phenomenal

[@V.stones]

the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skills and knowledge

[@V.stones]

It's crucial for individuals to diversify their portfolios, seek professional financial advice, and stay informed about market trends to navigate these challenges effectively.

[@Sanchyfab]

Financial planning and retirement strategies are crucial, especially in today's economic climate. With global economic fluctuations and uncertainties, it's essential to have a solid plan in place to protect your financial future.

[@Sanchyfab]

Most people miss it but the secret to living and retiring comfortably is finding a way to make returns while your money works for you. My Dad, as i remember started saving for retirement quite late but I know he was making more than 10k returns from his investments monthly and it was completely passive.

[@Deitricklaverne]

Agreed, I've always delegated my excesses to an advisor, since suffering major portfolio loss early 2020, amid covid outbreak. I'm now semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week, with barely 25% short of my $1m retirement goal after subsequent investments to date.

[@Deitricklaverne]

My CFA, Joseph Nick Cahill is a renowned figure in his field. I recommend researching his name online; you'll find all his credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, he is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

[@cindyshs]

Question here👋. I have a 3-fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total Stock, and 33% International. Seeking complete growth, I shifted to 100% stocks. However, I worry that S&P 500 and TSM overlap too much. Lately, I've been in the red for a month, and it's taking a toll on me. As someone who works hard for their money, investing anxieties are overwhelming. I'm torn between selling everything and waiting it out.

[@markharch2233]

Breathe, relax, and refocus: market ups and downs are just part of the journey. Also, consider hiring a financial advisor - expert guidance can bring much-needed calm and clarity.

[@laurapadd]

Thats right! A good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisors in exploring new markets, but over the past 10years I’ve had a financial advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I’ve made over $3million in gains… might not be a lot but i'm financially secure.

[@danawishln]

Can you share details of your advisor? I want to invest my increased cash flow in stocks and alternative assets to achieve financial goals.

[@laurapadd]

There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with 'Eleanor Kate Fenn' for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

[@danawishln]

Just looked up Eleanor Kate Fenn and found her consulting page. I’ve got to say her credentials are truly impressive! I've scheduled a call to discuss further

[@Brucelanham845]

I reached $138k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and insights you've shared with me over the past few months. I began this journey in October 2024. Financial education is essential for over 70% of the population, as only a few are truly literate in this area. Thanks so much Natalie Rose Strayer.

[@Stevedixon-l5l]

I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Natalie Strayer, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.

[@daky4523]

The very first time we tried, we invested $2000 and after a week, we received $9500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.

[@ToddMcKone.C]

You trade with Natalie Strayer too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.

[@ArthurDale-s4i]

I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?

[@HarrietJewell]

I was skeptical at first till I decided to try. Its huge returns is awesome. I can't say much.

[@tatianastarcic]

Markets look like 2015-16. Probably going back to all time highs, but will probably go sideways until fed signals rate cut, Recently sold 25% of my $285k portfolio comprising of plummeting stocks that were recommended by certain financial KZbinrs, quite devastating!

[@LUCIASMITH-d1z]

not their fault, the stock market seems to be more of a casino for gamblers now than a place for investors. even if you were averaging down on ailing companies, its your duty to properly research, buying the dip does not guarantee a rebound

[@jeromesand]

Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

[@JacobsErick-u8r]

this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

[@jeromesand]

Finding financial advisors like Melissa Terri Swayne 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.

[@HoskinsShanellNicole]

Thanks for sharing, I just liquidated some of my funds to invest in the stock market, I will need every help I can get.

[@JONINOTORUS]

Very smart and articulate specialist, TD is well represented.

[@srourfamily]

this video is great and buy on dips!!

[@jamilmalik6296]

Well explained.

[@tivertontom]

those that were ready ... will reconsider with this dip

[@tivertontom]

5-7 trillion US .... and they missed out record year(s) ... i missed a lot because of fears of recesssion

[@George-f8h]

Some people will jump back now for fear of missing out another record year and possibly get crushed in a downturn.

[@dimitrikanatselis6344]

Sometimes it’s best to admit you just missed the move. Equities are expensive now.

[@srourfamily]

less credit card and use cash drip system and invest conservatively such as 200 a mont and get going!!

[@meomeomeomeow]

Hope no one buys into the fancy strategies they are marketing in the end, very few long/short managers beat the market.

[@yangbomb2]

What's up with this equity junkies that sing the same song of "Time to put cash to work in the markets", "too much cash on the sideline" for years?

[@Rhodabyler-u6y]

As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top-level investors are able to become millionaires through investing. I have a significant amount of capital to start with, but I'm unsure about the strategies and direction I should take to help me generate substantial profits like some people are this season.

[@Michaelsun-z8k]

I’m not in a position to offer financial advice, but given the significant amount of capital you're working with, it would be wise to consult a financial advisor who can guide you in developing a strategy tailored to your goals and risk tolerance.

[@sunruth-n8s]

The truth is, the role of an investment advisor can often be overlooked but should never be underestimated. After facing a significant portfolio loss in 2020 during the COVID pandemic while trying to manage my investments on my own, I decided to reach out to an investment advisor. At that time, I had about $126K left in my portfolio. Now, without having to lift a finger, I'm semi-retired, working only 7.5 hours a week, and I'm just 15% short of my $1 million retirement goal thanks to my subsequent investments.

[@BruutBlondiee]

This is incredible. Could you recommend who you work with? I really could use some help at this moment.

[@sunruth-n8s]

My CFA is ASHLEY GARNER ABBOTT, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did

[@letterkey-k9i]

Excellent share! Curiously inputted Ashley Garner Abbott on the web, spotted her consulting page ranked top, and was able to schedule a call session. I've seen commentaries about advisors, but not one looks this phenomenal.

[@guardianking9209]

This is worthless. So many jargons that an average investor has no clue how to leverage the info.

[@DLAM19]

Stock market is way over heat! Debt, debt, and more debt! American has lost purchasing power and inflation will go up! Market will crash sooner than later! Time to buy gold and silver!
