[@Davidstowe872]

In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.

[@Rachadrian]

If you need advice, consider speaking with a financial advisor. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.

[@Dantursi1]

you are completely right, Advisors have information and paths that are not disclosed to the public.. I profited $560k in 2023 under the tutelage of my Fiduciary-counselor. Am I selling? Absolutely not.. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.

[@Jamesbrown1126]

This is huge! think you can point me towards the direction of your advisor? been looking at advisory management myself.. seeking ways to invest and make more money with the uncertainty in the economy.

Annette Christine Conte is among the most accomplished portfolio managers in the industry, widely acknowledged for her outstanding work. I highly recommend taking a closer look at her impressive portfolio.

Appreciate this recommendation, hopefully I can get some insight to where the economy is headed and strategies to beat inflation with when I hear back from her.

[@JamesHawley-b3k]

We are already in the big crash, Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

[@AUSBERRYGrefford]

People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

[@DeborahPowell-u1j]

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.

[@JamesHawley-b3k]

The past 25 years have been good considering how the next 25 years will play out. I believe the last 25 years of silver and gold advances will repeat on steroids.

[@ginnastaeugy]

Well explain thank you for bringing up this video Financial education is indeed required for more than 80% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject. The value of the US dollar is declining due to inflation, but it is increasing in comparison to other currencies and commodities such as gold and real estate. I'm worried that rising inflation will cause my 550k in my retirement funds to lose value, But with the help of Sandy Barclays I hit 220k this week from my investment of 45k, I am truly grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you have given me over the past few months.

BTC is way better than the dollar in all respects except one. And that exception is it is not accepted everywhere. But the cool thing, even now, is that you can convert BTC to almost any local currency. Read the book before you pass judgment on something you are not educted on.

It is always a serious issue if someone is advertising something focusing only on one property of it...not mentioning any problems/issues related to this product. Lawrence is doing exactly that with bitcoin...beware! I don't like what he's doing.

I believe it's not just Bitcoin itself that will prevail, but rather the underlying idea and its unique characteristics. While it offers fast transaction speeds and the ability to transfer large sums of money, its current volatility raises questions about its long-term sustainability. It's uncertain whether Bitcoin will remain dominant or if a new digital currency will emerge to revolutionize transactions.

18% of Central Banks surveyed (73 total) by the OMFIF (Official Monetary & Financial Institutions Forum - London) plan to increase USD holdings over next one to two years, up from 6% a year ago. The average proportion of Central Bank Gold reserves (reported at least) has increased from 9 to 11 percent over the past year. 15% of those surveyed said they expected to increase their exposure over the next one to two years. Interest in increased holdings of Chinese Renminbi appears to have stalled for the time being. A number of Central Banks, incl the European Central Bank, National Bank of Poland, NZ Reserve Bank & Reserve Bank of Sth Africa have articulated that delivering returns is a part of their investment objectives.

Based on the FT reporting of the OMFIF survey it appears yet another set of examples where the West is seeking the instant gratification of short-term gains and the East continues a longer foundation growing play of accumulating real commodities and the alternative/solution to ever increasing distrust in fiat currency vehicles - Real money, Gold.

If Larry Fink is buying BTC you can rest assure that it will go a lot higher ..but also they won't let you own it

I like this guy but he didn't hear about bitcoin in 2008.

If the Fed cut rates to make the debt servicing easier, inflation will heat up. But wouldn't that break the Fed's political independence?

[@bpb5541]

We are in a no win situtaion now. We could inflate our way out of it.. but the debts are so high it would cause massive defaults and unemployment.. less taxes and less GDP. Or we could crash. Crashing is the better of the two options. Either one is horrible.
