I'm considering a big investment of about $40,000 in gold because I suspect it could be a great move. However, I'm still a bit skeptical. Any thoughts or advice on this?

[@JennaHerberholz]

Given the current market volatility, I recommend finding a financial advisor who can guide you on entry and exit points for your chosen shares or ETFs or Gold.

No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.

Given the persisting global economic crisis, it's essential for individuals to focus on diversifying their income streams independent of governmental reliance. This involves exploring options such as stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the adversity in the economy, now is an opportune moment to contemplate these investment avenues.

[@rogerwheelers4322]

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

[@joshbarney114]

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, 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 out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

[@FabioOdelega876]

I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.

[@joshbarney114]

I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like Marisa Breton Dollard who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

[@FabioOdelega876]

Marisa has the appearance of being a great authority in her profession.

She has a fiduciary duty to protect my best interests. I sent her an email outlining my objectives and also booked a session with her; thanks for sharing.

An obvious way to invest for a recession is to buy shares in businesses that are likely to experience steady demand even in a downturn. Typically, those are consumer staples, utilities, and heathcare companies, but off course such decisions cannot be made by an average Joe, a financial advisor is important in making these decisions

[@Mrshuster]

When deciding whether or not to purchase a share, these factors might undoubtedly come into play. However, I never make a purchase solely based on that reasoning; instead, I always consult my financial advisor, who has assisted me in gaining $985k in an exponentially growing, well-diversified portfolio.

At this moment, it is crucial for individuals to prioritize investing in alternative streams of income that are not reliant on the government, particularly with the existing worldwide economic crisis.

The price of gold has never changed. It is the value of your fiat currency that changed. Gold is still worth $30/ounce. It just takes $2k+ modern inflated dollars to have that $30 from my childhood.

Basel 3 accord policy states that Physical gold is now a tier 1 asset. As good as money. Gold derivatives on the other have been reclassified as tiers 3 assets. This all happened in April 2023- now put two and two together and now you understand why central banks have been accumulating physical gold- bringing the price to new all time highs. Enjoy

MSM seems to never know that gold became a tier one asset again in 2019. Central Banks no longer need the USD to meet reserve requirements or trade. That fact is de facto reason #1 for the worldwide accumulation, but is somehow ALWAYS missing from every explanation.

[@tonybonesLD]

Because it’s a hedge for inflation. It’s not that gold costs more now, it’s that the value of the USD is inflated so bad.

[@ryanwiler4808]

Gold is one of those things that is valued purely for what it is. What it does is mostly irrelevant, although electronics have started to become a factor - albeit very recently and quite novel in how they effect the market. That being said, when things go really south, things are values purely for what they do, nobody has the excesses to care about things for what they are. As such, gold is likely to lose much of its tradable value as it will only appeal to a very niche audience. Regular people will barter.

[@SeanTalkoff]

[@DavidCovington-st2id]

Its best if you buy growth/blue-chip/large caps stocks only. Also, as a newbie its advisable you work with an investment advisor to help set up a well-structured portfolio.

[@SteveDutton-v]

Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

[@penguingobrrbrr353]

Because people passivly put money into something thinking it would just keep increasing forever.

[@MrLegendra]

@@AL-lh2ht How does it work?

[@fdhgbjsk]

Various factors going on here, I'll try to break it down. The stock rally is mainly limited to certain sectors, a lot of the market pump is coming from tech stocks - which have seen actual profit and productivity strides - whilst consumption-lead stocks have been pretty weak because general consumption and savings have been very low. Why is the market rallying to trade stocks at ridiculous P/E ratios? Because there is more capital being allocated to the market in the form of retirement savings and funds, the market fuels itself as long as there are more people entering the job market than leaving, hence, why we have low unemployment. The issue: Baby Boomers are entering retirement, this is the largest generation in history, and, thus, the largest storage of wealth - as they near retirement they hit peak earnings capacity, which is attributed to the market to keep it pumping through retirement funds. Once they stop working, they have to draw-down on these savings to meet expenses, which leads to a stronger capital outflow in the market since more money leaving the market than entering. The essential functioning of the market is built on demographic profile, the perfect model is Japan which has had more people leaving the workforce than entering for the past 20 years. If in this trap, the most advisable circumstance is to rely on foreign investment to rally markets, so, you need to weaken foreign markets so investors will move to your market, helps explain policy regarding Russia and China now, doesn't it? Thus, in sum, the market does well because there is a sector pushing growth whilst demographics are favourable in terms of capital allocation for investment. Downside is this is a temporary circumstance. Gold does well because bank interest rates are weak comparative to inflation so gold is a better store of value, whilst most demand growth is due to foreign companies experiencing massive volatility - i.e. Russian, Indian, and Chinese investors going heavy in gold to store wealth.

[@Walker-py5ox]

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

[@RositaVaranda]

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money.
