Buying silver and gold is easy, but it is renowned for stability during economic hard times like this. The main problem is investing in stocks, dividends and even cryptocurrencies to grow your portfolio.... I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $190K for some time now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions

Since ancient times, compared to fiat currencies, cryptos, commodities, bonds, treasuries, stocks, goods, properties, land etc, Gold will always have value over time so long as Humans trade, save and keep it for their future generations.

Why look for yield, gold is money. While the fiat is based on debt to sustain it system, which seem falling apart.

The US stock market continues to be an amazing long-term investment with some of the best risk-adjusted returns

when in US printing fiat money for every 100 day 1 trillion printed as debt and heard from next month 386 billions to sell bonds to support debt then one should wonder this fiat currency debt based system can be sustain?. Hence possibility of reset is mounting hence gold is the final basis for renewal. Therefore gold price is on going on the increase.

This is my first time watching CNA Explains and I really enjoy it. As someone from the US, I'm interested in getting diverse news from around the world. I've also watched FirstPost with Palki Sharma and I appreciate her way of explaining things and providing historical context, along with her articulate delivery. However, I have noticed that she tends to have a biased reporting towards India, which is understandable. If CNA Explains can offer a similar perspective on the news like FirstPost, I would definitely welcome it. I do have one suggestion though, I find the CNA announcer to sound rushed and the fast talking is not ideal. It gives off the impression that she isn't interested in explaining things to viewers, as if she's too busy or too important. It would be great if your announcers could learn from Palki, who appears poised and has a calm demeanor that is very inviting to viewers. It feels like having a genuine conversation rather than being sold something by a fast-talking salesperson. Olivia Masiki should pick up Palki's poised mannerisms. Her voice is tense and she sounds like a cold news announcer than a poised teacher like Palki. But I'll subscribe and check you guys out more.

The US Dollar have to be depreciated to the bottom as much as whenever they printed out the fiat money likes no tomorrow as never before 😢😢😢

There is no sure safe haven, but Gold is one universal world currency! The only better world currency is fuel, food, and medicine!
