The collapse of Margin debt leads to a decrease in stock prices and trigger a wave of selling as investors try to cover their losses, Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $145K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions

[@harrisonjamie794]

I'll suggest you find a mentor or someone with experience guide you especially in this recession. especially for your 401K, IRA and portfolio diversification.

[@MarcelPhilips]

@@harrisonjamie794 I agree, I thought I was doing alright profit wise, until I needed assistance with diversification, I reached out to a financial advisor and in less than a year I was just $51,000 shy away from $640k which is like 7x more than I make on my own..

[@harrisonjamie794]

@@MarcelPhilips I've been thinking of going that route been holding on to a bunch of stocks that keeps tanking and I don't know if to keep holding or just dump them, think your Inv-coach could guide me with portfolio-restructuring..

@@harrisonjamie794 I've shuffled through a few advisors in the past, and KRISTIN GAIL CUNNINGHAM remains the most resourceful thus far. Her strategy proves profitable, and sustainable both in a bull & bear market. Most likely, her deets can be found on the net, so you can confirm yourself.

Kundan Raj Dehingia how can you have a particular best industry? Each firm will have a specialty or strength possibly in a particular “industry” as you call it and in addition to this it’s hard to put a finger on this due to the sheer momentum of many factors across the board
