Great video, The first $100, 000 invested was amazing. But when you hit $300, 000 it’s like smashing the glass ceiling! I cried.

Recessions are part of the economic cycle, all you can do is make sure you're prepared and plan accordingly. I graduated into a recession (2009). My 1st job after college was aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today I'm a VP at a global company, own 3 rental properties, invest in stocks and biz, built my own business, and have my net worth increase by $500k in the last 4 years.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

[clarisse]

right on small cap. I am long TSLY I have a 100 grand to put into the markets now it has shown bullish strength but I am very skeptical about tech and blue-chip stocks.

There are many other interesting business and stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire..

[Vivienedouglass]

I dont even know where the market is headed to right now. my portfolio of around 200k is not increasing more than 5% and people are predicting a crash .

The main focus for markets now is Nvidia, which has powered a large chunk of the S&P 500’s recent earnings. Nvidia’s stock, up more than 90% this year, rose 2.5% in New York on Monday, sending the Nasdaq 100 index to another record high. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

With so few stocks driving up the latest rally and the majority of "traders" looking to "get rich quick" as the shin comes off those profits, it's time to realize "you'll never go broke taking profits." Buffett is also selling! I'm still uncertain about selling my $200k portfolio.

[ClaudiaSchreiber-bp]

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 of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.

Love Tom Lee. He is honest and calm, doesn’t spread fear in tough market environments in his interviews. 👍

How do i make money from the market crash? i want to redistribute around $200K stocks in my portfolio. what strategy should I use to maximize gains rn.

[albacusBC]

But there are still many stocks with growth potential still growing. My wife and I sold our house in Florida to move to Texas. I invested some of the money from the sale in the stock market. The portfolio is up 300k this month alone. I guess she knows the investment is making profit, but we've never really spoken openly about it. It's one of the best choices I made.

[BrettaANordsiek]

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement of about $150k. I want to know: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets, or do I look into alternative sectors?

[lilliankerr-zc]

Rate cuts commenced in June 2024, taking 6-8 months to complete. A potential crash, if any, might occur by March 2025. The soft landing narrative is gaining traction, making this big recession everyone is calling for less likely. With $1 million from a business sale, I'm seeking profitable investment opportunities for the next 3 years.

[BrewerVera]

Biggest lesson i learnt in 2024 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.

[roddywoods]

So how exactly can we guard against the coming financial reset for 2024? Like what are really the best strategies to make our portfolio recession proof against the incoming financial reset? I'm very worried about my $110k stock portfolio.

[A_francis]

I am holding a cash position right now, of about 300k. I know a dip is supposed to be the buying opportunity, so whats the best stocks to dive into, in this recession?

[Ogden]

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?

[stockchatshow]

Why didn't they ask him about his prediction of the Russell 2000 small caps index rising at least 15% in August. How's that going?

[KristleNasworthy]

Great job, the author definitely knows his stuff.
