I just saved up $100, 000 this last quarter, and i plan to invest in the stock market and maybe around 10% in bitcoin

Do you think it's a good time to consider selling some stocks, or is it better to hold onto them for the long term? I’m considering rebalancing my 18k portfolio. I want to include some AI stocks. I'm curious what the best strategies during this period are. I'm also thinking real estate.

Stocks are falling and bond yields are rising, but markets still don’t seem convinced the Federal Reserve will pursue plans to keep increasing interest rates until inflation is under control. I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $117k stocck portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?

I’m eating rice and beans watching this. I’m on my way!

Good for them. Paid off home, contributing to retirement fund and college fund for the kids, plenty in savings to erase their debt, ready to just build up that best egg. 120k household income isn't that high for San Diego, they're being careful.

All my debt was paid off and I genuinely had no idea what to do with my money. I was so used to "end of the month to the end of the day" with my money, I was just weirded out with seeing around double my netto salary in the bank. This call makes very much sense.

Kudos to her for being like "I have a ton of money, what do I do?" It's never a bad idea to get some expert advice to get a good idea of what to do with it

[MrOfficer]

On $120k a year in San Diego I would have liked to have known where she got the $100k in cash from and how did they pay off their home.

[ooblanca]

This kind of information is EXACTLY!!! What I needed and had been looking for. This call is exactly my situation.

[carolinekellysarin]

Investing is putting money to get more money back from the asset later. Speculating is looking at what the price is doing regardless of the business.

[SeanBaker]

$24k is a year's worth of expenses for me. For that, I'm glad!

[sherryie]

Currently I'm just being smart and frugal with my money, I'm in the green 47% over the last 15 months and l've accumulated over $700K in pure profits from DCA’ing into stocks, ETFs, dividends and futures. However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait.

A good mutual fund.

Past performance does not guaranty future results... but long term good mutual funds grow.

I have a mutual fund account that got lost. When found it was a mere $350. In 18 years it has grown to $5500. Just monitoring it and keeping track using it as a comparison to other investments.
It's gone down a couple of times, but it has overall trended up.

Dave sounded so bored with this call, shaking my head. I miss the old Dave where he would be fired up with these kind of calls and he scream “you did it!!! “Come on Dave!

[MochaHammy]

This is a “problem” I would LOVE to have

[NormanGhali]

With all of the current events, what is the best approach to profit from the present market? I'm still debating diversifying my $400k stock portfolio to obtain some profits while minimizing risk.

[nevermisled]

After going from broke High schooler to joining the military and making enough money, nothing has changed I’m still the same person I was a yr ago.

[pepetrinidad]

It's a wonderfull guy to basically tell u that your 100k doesn't help you to built wealth,
