I don’t know how but you’ve managed to package an unbiased analysis that is more entertaining than the sensationalized segment of economic and financial news. Thank you for your efforts to be the signal and not the noise. I understand that the economy is currently in a downturn and that we must wait for things to get better

[@hersdera]

Exactly why i enjoy my day to day market decisions being guided by a portfolio-coach, 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 outperform, been using a portfolio-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over $800k.

[@hersdera]

There are advisors in cities around you but I needed services of one who can guide me irrespective of location. ‘Margaret Johnson Arndt’ comes highly recommended especially in times like this. I am hedging and haven't lost much to the recession. I found her in 2020 when the market was at an all time low. Look her up and thank me later.

[@SandraDave.]

I promptly did some research on Margaret’s past. She can control herself well. Her credentials are solid, and it seems like she was the subject of a careful examination. Foreign investors from countries other than the United States can also use her services

[@dougz2855]

Most older people I spoke to regret not investing more money in higher risk stocks as they got close to retirement, great video Marko!

You sir, have set a new "bar" for investing.....and multi-tasking.

It’s always good to have a financial plan. I work with a licensed planner and fixed-income strategist in LA that helps me sort out these plans of investments

[@LeeParkchu]

Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $485k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently

[@SeanJohns-ze8ie]

People downplay planner’s role, until they are burnt by their mistakes. That’s why I’ve been working with expert planners like CHRIS RYAN STEWART

[@SeanJohns-ze8ie]

I wasn’t sure with investing money for a new car, but I’ve made over $58k since 2022 from learning from Chris and still bought my dream car. Thanks😭

Marco, you gotta talk about the housing market. Interest rates all time high, home prices also high, inventory low, no one wants to sell because they locked in low interest rates from a year ago. Feds unsure about what they want to do with interest rates.

[@WhiteBoardFinance]

video coming out in the next few days about this

Stock is the oldest online market we have, we employed it because of the highest quality of services it renders and how successful it is. Today we say cryptocurrency too, all I'm saying us that people should also invest in crypto. It would be helpful.

[@johnthomas5376]

Especially bitcoin the way it's going. I describe Bitcoin as a "digital version of gold

I began my investment journey at the age of 33, primarily through hard work and dedication. Now at the age of 38, I am thrilled to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity.

[@JaneBlac-]

Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

[@ClemenceRoskelley]

Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.

Do you ever do portfolio reveals and cover your investments? I do a portfolio update every Sunday morning check it out, I'd love to get your thoughts on what I'm holding and buying.

[@Mrfoo2002]

Gold is definitely not risk free. It has generally underperformed most of the time except maybe in the 70s and 80s. Gold is firmly medium risk as its price is driven by speculation.

[@erikybarra3898]

Really?! I didn't know that!

[@JunkSock]

Because we have actual sudden inflation I’m assuming this is the beginning of a time where precious metals actually overperform… but we will see

[@dr.josegomez7554]

What's up with them dumbbells bro 😂😂.

[@ctconstrictors5193]

Marco I know your not into gimmicks but yes that is what you'll have to do to build WBFU... we know it and will continue to support of that's the route you take

[@WhiteBoardFinance]

I appreciate it. We’re just having fun guys. Why is everyone so irked by this?

[@ctconstrictors5193]

​@WhiteBoardFinance 😂 I'm not sure if you misunderstood. I'm saying more of this is needed because it's what seems to get the clicks on other channels. Your information in my opinion is much better than other channels but adding in some fun will build your audience which then can build the university. That's what I was getting at.

[@WhiteBoardFinance]

Ty!

Can you make a video on why you think Bitcoin is a good investment?

[@chrisgrantham7654]

Hi Marko, can you do a video on potential BTC ETF and what options are for retail investor who may want to allocate % of 401k in BTC ETF?

[@WhiteBoardFinance]

I wouldn't buy a Bitcoin ETF. That's like buying a gold ETF. Defeats the purpose of buying it in the first place. Not your keys, not your cheese.

[@chrisgrantham7654]

@@WhiteBoardFinance Thanks Marko. I agree completely on owning your own keys and I believe most BTC enthusiasts DCA what they can afford and transfer to hardware wallet. The scenario I was considering for myself is weather or not I should transfer an old employer 401k to IRA with BTC ETF investment option. I obviously have strong Bitcoin convictions. I have to think there are others out there who are contemplating same, especially with 2024 halving looming.
