I am aware that continuing to invest during periods of volatility can be a smart way to build wealth. I’ve heard testimonies of people accruing over $250k in this red period. What measures can I take to achieve this?

Although ETF's are falling and bond yields are rising, but expositions still don’t seem convinced the Federal Reserve will pursue plans to keep increasing yield-rates until inflation* is under control. I'm still at crossroads with deciding if to liquidate my $357k stocck portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear booth?

You may not have noticed inflation in years past, But 8%+ inflation over the past year should've taught you that the cost of living increases every year (home prices, rent, groceries, plane tickets, home repairs, etc.) Only way to beat inflation is by investing your money...

We are already in the big crash, Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.

Nice content! Few years back i was assistant to a wealthy pen artist and within the short period i worked with him i observed that he had quite a chunk of investment everywhere, stocks, crypto, dividend investing to name a few, so he had revenues coming in from all angles. And in a year his worth doubled. With this i learned that the rich stay rich by investing.

Being successful don' t happen by magic Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choice of investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be 700 guaranteed.

Guess what the most likely outcome is when the stock market hits a new high? More highs! By waiting, you miss out on more gains

[graigsmith]

Crypto is bringing a different revolution in the world economy. People who are optimistic investors earn consistently.... Others will just sit and watch!.

[tradekings]

stocks does not crash, it's a special invitation to buy more.

[skymedium]

it took 10 years for them to get inflation under control last time. People acting like after 2 small dips inflation is already priced into the market.

I find it very interesting, that our country bases how well we are doing by the amount of debt it citizens are in.

[sherdonforbes]

From one S.Forbes to another I approve this message.

Charity makes your money grow and grow in good way. Give the poor people don't put money in bank when your neighbours have not what to eat.

My trading journey was a matriculation of highs and lows, literally just like the market. you up, you down. Now I'm constantly up

The oversupply and devaluation of fiat currency is a critical factor, but the biggest debacle is a global supply chain destroyed by inept national government meddling in many countries which continues today.

The global supply chain, if left alone from national government meddling, would have adapted, adjusted and reconfigured itself - instead, it was prevented from doing this by governments, and we're going to experience the results of this disruption for many years, many more years if world governments continue to interfere directly and indirectly.

The coming bear market, recession if not depression, will provide a plethora of bargains for those prepared to buy. As the economic collapse accelerates and deepens, you can be certain governments the world over will exacerbate the situation, providing even greater opportunities for investors.

The corruption, malfeasance, greed, ineptitude, and incompetence of politicians and bureaucrats the world over will be obvious as they fail to control the economic monster they created.

I'm looking forward to a great, prosperous and better future!

[bruceconnor]

With the high rate of inflation, the economy is heading towards a severe recession. I overheard someone talking about how he grew his reserve from $120k to almost $260k during this Red season, can anyone share tips on how to make such aggressive proceeds in short periods?

[spartan]

I thought it was because people got greedy, selling everything at 4 times the cost, but not seeing down the road. Now, those same people can’t afford anything, and their money is almost gone. Save your money, forget stocks, forget buying anything for a while. Every company continues to raise prices because some idiots pay out of panic. There are recession proof ways to make money. Number one thing to do is not spend right now. I listen, I watch, I research. Look for yourselves.

Fed Chief Paul Volcker had to raise interest rates sky high to wrestle inflation just before Reagan's second term. Will Powell have to do the same?

[andrewstephenson]

Yep, good Talk Steve. 2022 will be a rollercoaster for sure. Stocks valuations are at an all time high while at the same time we have the threat of inflation, rising interest rates and supply chain and productivity issues to deal with. Something is going to have to give. I think it will be the Markets that will have to correct. How much and when - who knows. Sanity hasn't prevailed in this bull run and I suspect it wont prevail in a correction/crash. I hope everyone has their cash ready to jump in at the right time.

[margaretmuralles]

A crash might be just what the market needs. Individuals, businesses and government alike need to live within a budget. Invest only what you can afford is prudent advice.
