[@palmersolga]

After a horrendous 2022, shell-stunned financial backers have misfortunes to recover and a lot to consider, as an expansion report and a pile of different information did close to nothing to change assumptions that the Central bank would probably keep climbing intrest rates regardless of whether the economy dials back, And that implies more red ink for portfolios for the principal quarter of year 2023. How might I benefit from the ongoing unstable market, I'm currently at a junction choosing if to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio.

[@jackbills]

Center around two key targets. In the first place, remain safeguarded by realizing when to offer stocks to cut misfortunes and catch benefits. Second, get ready to benefit when the market turns around.I suggest you look for the direction a representative or monetary consultant.

[@aK-rk3hi]

The companies have just as much blame as the scumbag monopolizing resalers have, the make these shoes such limited quantity to advertise, to create artificial hype over their shoes, to boost their sales, sadly it's working and is a successful tactic, more companies are using artificial supply and demand manipulation to their advantage now days.

@Fredrik Roempke Some people with Shops, get people to break into their shops for them. This way they get 100's of 1,000's of dollars back in old shoes that didn't or wasn't selling and pay the people that did it for them money for doing it out of the insurance money they get.

[@jsilva7005]

No we can definitively knock it. Most resellers don’t even have a store front. They’re making money under the table and I guarantee they are not reporting the actual amount if they if they report anything at all so right off the bat they don’t pay their share of taxes. Now what service or good do these resellers provide to the community? Nothing They are reselling shoes that were originally on the market at a reasonable price, for a ridiculous markup. They are a middle man, except usually a middle man makes it easier on the customer. This middle man actually screws the customer over by buying all the supply at retail and this forcing customers to pay these ridiculous prices if they want the shoe. They are literally parasites. Tell me I’m wrong and if so how. But you wont say anything because I’m right.
