Recession! Crash! Inflation! It’s getting depressing. I have about $100k in emergency fund and I have been seeing good news about the stock market and would like to gain from that since I can’t let my savings be corroded by inflation. What stocks should I into as a newbie to safely grow my money.

Housing prices are unlikely to significantly decrease until there's a substantial increase in housing supply. In the USA, there's a shortage of millions of housing units, and construction isn't keeping pace. The constant demand for housing, coupled with population growth, means that even a slight price drop attracts numerous buyers who quickly absorb the available supply. I'm considering purchasing affordable houses in 2024 and possibly venturing into stock investments. When is the best time to enter the stock market? Some people say it is profitable, but others say it's risky. Any advice?

80% equities 20% cash. I plan to take advantage of the next market downturn where s&p 500 will drop below 15%, the issue is how to allocate stock/bond ratio properly for steady gains, yet the indicators are playing a trick on us with ongoing economy turmoil.

My expectation for 2024 is that markets starts to broaden out more, with the rates cut i have a couple of questions....can I safely invest $220k in the markets? What should I do differently?

[Americanpatriot]

The damage has already been done. Inflation may slow but the poor and middle classes have lost another huge chunk of buying power. I have about $120k in savings and I want to see it grow safely in the stock market….. What stocks should I look at for?

The way I see it this recession most likely has an external cause. The United States is losing influence as a federal currency for the first time in decades. They don't have any more economies to utilize to control their inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than previously. They all lend credence to the hypothesis that a new multilateral world order may be in the works.

[ryanwilliams]

Recession is often the result of external factors, and it appears that the United States is losing its grip as a federal reserve currency. With a decreasing ability to control inflation and a reduction in stocks and oil trading, it seems that a new multilateral world order is on the horizon.

We have experienced the peak of an era and now it is over. The recession destroys everything, including RRSPs. My retirement portfolio of C$400k is in the red. I keep losing because of uncertain economy. I'm sorry if you're thinking about retirement and worried that your pension won't be enough to cover rising living costs. Terrible foreign policy, bad regulatory policy and bad fiscal policy everywhere.

[kelvinjohnson]

Well, I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered and I don't know where to go here out of devastation.

[brianwhitehawker]

We can't ignore the potential impact on portfolios. Bonds are often considered a safe haven, and if they crumble, investors like me might scramble. I’ve been investing for 11 yrs and my $1m portfolio has never been this depleted, how i do hedge this?

[lawerencemiller]

During recessions, assets often undervalue. By investing wisely in stocks, real estate, or businesses during this downturn, you position yourself for significant returns during the economic recovery.

This recession is most likely the result of an external factor. For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works.

[AshtonGrace]

Honestly, I'm unsure if investing is a wise move right now. Take note of how frequently things fail. As I still have some time before I retire, I'm still looking for a better strategy to invest my money despite reading charts and predictions from well-known investors from the past and present. In order to generate passive income, I want to build a solid and reliable portfolio.

[Philippayne-sktj]

It surprises me why everybody gets really worked up about recession and inflation data. Inflation has always existed, and people have been using investments to beat the inflation. The stock market return, for example, always beats inflation. I heard of someone who invested $121k last October, and has grown the portfolio by more than $400k. I need recommendations that can give me similar return.

Thanks for the fantastic content Larry! I just found your channel, immediately subscribed after watching this video.

I'd argue that the reason major institutions have a lot of their money in bonds is their low risk but also because if the Fed is done raising interest rates, the bonds prices are essentially bottoming so it's the best time to buy bonds in a very long time. When rates start going down eventually the rate of return of the bonds if they decide to sell will be great and the safe cash flow for investors (who are major pensions and sovereign funds etc.) is too good to pass up.

[SaintYvess]

Given the re-inverting yield curve and increased market volatility, I'm reevaluating my portfolios, and the outlook is concerning. How should I reallocate funds within my $1M portfolio to navigate the potential economic downturn?

[tommychestnut]

The media is currently barraged with a lot of economic data right now. It takes a lot to see beyond the whole ocean of news on focus on what is important, which is that no matter how low stocks go, they always bounce back. I really ignore all the news and keep investing. I recently allocated about $121k to put in the market as we anticipate a crash. Any recommendations?

[johnlennon]

I recommend diversifying your investments by considering stocks alongside real estate. During a recession, there are potential buying opportunities in the stock market if approached cautiously. Additionally, market volatility can offer short-term buying and selling opportunities. However, please note that this is not financial advice. It's important to be proactive in investing as cash may not be the most advantageous option during these times.
