I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 85K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% per year in dividend returns. Any advice?

The idea of buying and investing at low prices and selling it at high prices was probably developed by Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. I have witnessed this many times in my life, as Warren Buffett stated. not a financial manager. We never made more money than middle class wages, my wife and I. With a $4 million stock portfolio, we intend to retire at age 58. We have never sold even one share of stock before.

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024

Taking early notes from Warren as to the importance of sound asset diversification and risk management It can't be overstated. I've been trying to grow my portfolio for sometime now and it’s been stagnant, I would greatly appreciate any other suggestions.

I have been a dividend focused investor for a long time. This does not mean I don't own growth stocks, I do. A well rounded portfolio should be a mixture of both categories. I invest in the market, but never put all my money in market.

The idea of investing a significant sum of money may be both thrilling and intimidating. There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings to about $1M over time?

Warren frequently makes good arguments. But hearing from someone with his level of experience is also beneficial. Given that the majority of my holdings ($650K) consist of Nasdaq, Apple, and Tesla companies, his opinion or any other professional recommendations on what to do would be greatly appreciated. I entered the market early, but I'm not sure if I should sell or buy back at a bargain considering the status of the

After retiring recently, I'm uncertain whether my 401(k) and IRA will ensure a stable future. With $1 million set aside, I'm seeking an approach that matches my risk tolerance and financial objectives. Would you recommend investing in stocks or purchasing rental property?

In both the short and long run, a bear and bullish market provides equal avenue to amass good gains I've seen people make 6figures profit as high as $200k in a bear market and I've seen them pull it off much easily in a bull market, it all comes down to having the right information and applying it.

[LaurenFeller-dduf]

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the 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.

[EverlyndPerez]

I can understand people being bearish with these conditions. However, it is not reasonable for most people to sit on the sidelines while your cash position debases by 10% or more per year..What is the best way for me to avoid inflation eating up my cash reserve of about 200k while investing it?

[biankabrodeur]

This is my fifth year after retirement. I’ve been following the 4% rule thing, but this isn’t really how hard I expected things to be. I still have about $146, 000 outside funds in my IRA to invest. Pls how do I take advantage of this?

Successful investing is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. Investing is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.

I believe every Investor should start with ETFs for a solid foundation, then diversify across asset classes and maintain disciplined, regular investing to minimize risks and maximize growth.

As an lnvestment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.

[tonysilke]

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.

[roddywoods]

A lot of folks have been going on about a May rally too and said stocks that would be experiencing significant growth these new year season, any idea which stocks this may be? I just sold my home in the Boca Grande area and I’m looking to remunerate a lump sum into the stock market before stocks rebound

[Angelinacortez]

As an avid investor, I often mull over how accomplished investors are able to amass fortunes through their investment endeavors. Presently, I hold equity exceeding $545K from a recent home sale, yet I'm uncertain about my next investment move. Should I consider buying stocks at this time, or should I await another opportunity?

[RusuSilva]

investors can never be sure what will happen next, bearish periods ultimately establish a new set of stocks to buy and watch while setting the stage for a robust new uptrend. I have been reading articles of people that grossed profits up to $250k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?
