That's fantastic! Your potential appears to be enduring. It is always wise to diversify your income streams and create a well-thought-out plan as a means of preparing for unforeseen circumstances and ensuring the growth and longevity of wealth. I have been investing for 11 years, and I am extremely satisfied with the choices I have made. The encouraging news is that it is never too late to start on this path.

[@jessicasquire]

Congratulations! I share your fascination with investing. As a single dad, I understand the challenges of balancing various responsibilities. It's disheartening that you haven't seen any profits from your investments in different sectors. It's possible that you may be overlooking some crucial factors. Have you considered seeking guidance or advice from a financial professional? They can offer valuable insights and help you identify any areas where adjustments or improvements may be needed.

[@patrickbrussels4454]

While there may be opportunities in the market, it is crucial not to dive in blindly. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors that can contribute to your financial growth, I strongly recommend seeking the assistance of a professional. Personally, I invest with STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS , a renowned consultant. A quick internet search using her name will provide you with relevant information and convenient ways to get in touch with her.

[@jessicasquire]

@@patrickbrussels4454 I am thrilled to have this opportunity, and I am delighted to share that I have discovered the professional's website. I have wasted no time and have already contacted her by sending a message.

[@donaldwatson51]

I recently made more purchases. Saving money for a market downturn is likewise a bad idea. There are numerous ways to look at recessions and depressions, we cannot always expect to make large returns, and taking chances is better than doing nothing. The bottom line is that you will achieve remarkable results by diversifying your portfolio and making wise decisions. My portfolio's raw earnings rose by $608k in just 5 months.

[@danieljackson87]

I do not have a single fund that I invest in because I have a range of jobs. I certainly don't behave that way. I model my behavior after that of Julie Anne Hoover, a seasoned financial counsellor licensed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Since then, my returns have risen swiftly in contrast to the IRA's gradual development. What I have is only used by her trades, not by a few really niche businesses.

[@mikeharry96]

@@danieljackson87 That's amazing! I want to talk to her if she is this talented and possesses A-list skills. I continue to lose 20% of the time even when I clone transactions using a MAM account as well. Where do I find her contact details?

I believe the wisest decision that should be on every individual list is to invest in a different stream of income and don't depend on the government to bring you money. It's always better to work smart and not hard.

[@user-xp6sc6su9c]

Hi, could you be kind enough to share the info of the investment advisor guiding you, please?

[@graywilliams_77.]

Just search her name on the web. She's a registered broker.

Okay, thanks I just found her website and left a message for her.

[@stephaniestella213]

The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. $52k dividends received in 2022.

[@alexyoung3126]

I agree! That's why it is advisable that you have to invest while you still have a regular job or earning a regular income, and do it constantly. You still need to have something that will keep you going even if you're investing. Good financial planning and money allocation is the key.

[@joesphcu8975]

I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured some money in value stocks and digital assets,i accrued over $80K in dividends last year

[@lawerencemiller9720]

I’ve been down a ton, I’m only holding on so I can recoup, I really need help, who is this investment-adviser that guides you?

[@joesphcu8975]

I have “Helene Claire Johnson” as my investment advisor. She has a solid reputation in her field and is a true genius when it comes to diversified portfolios, which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns. She may be a name you are already familiar with; a Newsweek piece helped me to do so. You can search her on google

[@lawerencemiller9720]

She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.

[@kortyEdna825]

I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore.

There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.

Great video, a number of the most eminent market experts have been expressing their views on the severity of the impending economic downturn and the extent to which equities might plummet. This is because the economy is heading towards a recession and inflation is persistently above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. As I'm aiming to create a portfolio worth no less than $850,000 before I turn 60, I would appreciate any advice on potential investments.

I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.

I was in my mid 40s before I looked at my retirement and what I had to do about it. I was renting and had no pension. I was lucky to come across the ads of a company called "ferrochrome securities" They organised my wrecked finances and made me set priorities. First on my list was sorting a home that I would own when I hit 60. Then looked at how much I would need if I wanted to retire at 60. This gave me my goal, and I am happy to say that 10 years later, and 5 years from retirement I am on track. Amongst the few things they helped me to realise was adjusting my IRA, inputting capital into annuities, corporate bonds and other securities and leaving them to compound and grow. Because of them I have been able to grow my capital x5 in 2 years. It's pretty exciting once you start the journey !

Good video. I have a large cap growth and a value fund I use as my core holdings. Depending the market I buy what is on sale. Last year I bought more growth, this year I’ve bought more value maintaining a 50/50 blend split. Buying just the S&P500 would likely be easier, but this approach allows the use of market cycles to not buy at extreme valuations. Time will tell..

[@fredatlas4396]

I had a similar idea, but I don't think I've got it quite right. I put some of my portfolio in a separate part with Ishares S&P 500 Health sector etf combined with Vanguard ftse all world high dividend yield index etf, 50/50. But it looks like both of those etfs are mostly value stocks and appear to be mostly moving in same direction, at least at the moment. I thought about swapping the health sector etf for a standard S&P 500 etf, but I don't think that would be a good idea at present. So I'm sticking and see how it unfolds, just rebalance once a year. The etfs are IHCU & VHYL. I also have a ftse dev world etf combined with a bond etf as main portfolio

Never put ANY money into bond funds, unless the have durations of two years or less..and only if they are 100% invested in U.S. treasurys..if the last year in the bond market hasn't shown us anything else..it's that one should NEVER own a long-term bond fund..WAY too much duration risk. INDIVIDUAL long-term treasuries or individual T.I.P.S. which are bought at issue, and held to maturity; are a different story..as long as you are sure that you CAN hold them to maturity. As for equities..there is NO reason whatsoever, to own anything other than a U.S total-stock-market index fund. NONE. As long as you know for a FACT, that it is money that you will not NEED, for a minimum of ten years. It drives me crazy, when so-called "experts" and "advisors confuse inexperienced or nervous investors, with this seemingly endless "mish-mosh" of needlessly complicated (and expensive) BLIZZARD of all kinds of different different mutual funds, in the name of "diversification". Read, "Common Sense on Mutual Funds" by the late (and GREAT) John Bogle..and just be DONE with all of this CHAOS!

[@fredatlas4396]

Sound advice, but what if you will be needing your money within the next 10 yrs for retirement. Shouldn't you then be trying to de-risk your portfolio as you get close to retirement, especially if you plan on buying an annuity at least if the annuities are paying good interest at the time. What would you use to de-risk if not a bond index fund or etf

[@jamesmorris913]

​@@fredatlas4396Fred- The key word that you said, is "need". If you know that you absolutely NEED these monies for basic survival, once you are sure that will no longer be contributing "new" money to your portfolio..then, I would have ALL of my money (401K, IRA) in nothing but a short-term, U.S. Treasury fund. The Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index Fund, would be an outstanding, very stable, choice.
