What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio..

[Alejandracamacho]

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 alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

I was homeless, got into drugs went to prison and then I got to know Jesus and she changed my life... Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $50, 000 in 2months . I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough! Now I have a new identity and a child of God

[DaleHo]

what exactly are the communications that are all over the place? Seems communications are pretty straight forward from FED.

How exactly did the Fed get 2021 wrong? Unemployment was still 5.1% in August 2021 (as reported in September 2021). We were at 3.5% in February 2020, so, no, the labor market had not recovered yet going into Q4 2021 and the Fed has a dual mandate - price stability and labor. Funny how no one ever mentions the labor part when looking back at 2021, and the fact that it took the entire year to break below 4% (in December 2021, as reported in January 2022). You could argue they were a meeting or two late at most to start hiking. No more than that. The market got it wrong, just like they got 2022, 2023, and 2024 wrong. This guy and all the other fake guru's are the ones talking out of both sides of their mouth and sending out mixed messages and saying things that are flat out false.

Mohamed: If it can decline so fast, why the quick rise back surprises you? Does the market need to go by your wish or command?

[KarenLynnOlsen]

The most significant lesson I gained from the stock market in 2024 is that uncertainty prevails, emphasizing the importance of humility. Adhering to a long-term strategy with a competitive edge is key

This host is obnoxiously rude to his guests. We want to hear the expert opinions; the host needs to move to Fox and Friends if he wants to keep talking over people in this uncouth way.

The us debt is what 35 trillion and know one says anything is that data dependent

[danielking]

There are Trilliions sittinig in money market funds. If you think any dip will not be bought why are the cash in money market then??

[agritech]

They should discourage leveraged stocks

[georgemaximus]

He expects a lot from the fed too asking the fed to know exactly what the destination is going to be. So the fed is all knowing with god like power with an exact knowledge of “destination” of the economy should be. We’re In stagflation and unemployment is rising.

Market this, market that—have you ever marked a day on your calendar to date a girl before?

[Moe-yvyi]

They are always surprised, he is a lier

[MrGoodsalesman]

he just mad because he didn't get on the dip.

[shahidahsan]

This guy never say's anything worthwhile.

[NewDealDem]

This dude has doomed on the way up with rates and now with rates going down. Just a bizarre person who mistakes pessimism with ‘seriousness’. Whatever the negative thing to say is, thats what he does.
