"It all comes down to interest rates. As an investor, all you're doing is putting up a lump-sump payment for a future cash flow."

There will likely be no end to the current banking crisis very soon. Experts with over ten years of experience know that credit problems don't go away in two weeks. It's funny to see how some individuals think everything has already finished so quickly. We are seeing a contraction of credit that will eventually lead to a significant downturn of the economy as a whole.

As an lnvesting 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?
-
I am regretting not investing in stocks ever since but still grateful i kept money in the money market. With about $200k maturing soon, i plan investing in the stock market. What stocks should I look into as a newbie to safely grow my money?
-
TAlk about money,I keep loosing in real trade but win in Demo. Should I give up on Trade? What should I do? How may I do better? What I'm I doing incorrectly?

Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid crisis, and even pull it off easily in a favorable economy. Unequivocally, the bubble/collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich

It is difficult to relive this without breaking my phone in a fit of rage.
-
The real story is that no one that was responsible had to pay, in any way.

Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

The rich got richer and the poor got homeless with this crisis. I remember that very well
-
No punishment. How unfair. Nobody comes to rescue me from my debt. What happened to no government entervention? Welfare for the rich.

A number of the most eminent market experts have been expressing their views on the severity of the impending economic downturn and the extent to which equities might plummet. This is because the economy is heading towards a recession and inflation is persistently above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. As I'm aiming to create a portfolio worth no less than $850,000 before I turn 65, I would appreciate any advice on potential investments.

this narrator has the best voice ever to do documentaries.His seriousness,his tone is the very best.I have said this for 20 years.There is no one better...

What I've learned here is a few hundred people should of been pulling time in a federal prison.

It's a club and obviously we ain't in it🎯💯

Buckle up, 2022 looking like round 2. 2008 never stopped, they just pushed the pause button.
-
At 51:00 my stomach dropped. Learning that there were no rules put in place as to how these banks should act or use the money they were given makes no sense. Zero logic. Imagine receiving billions of dollars for doing a horrendous, criminal job.
-
Thank you PBS. This is the kind of documentary we need to see in the USA
-
Every high school and college student should be watching this documentary before graduating, imo.
-
It’s gross how the ones who caused the crisis faced no consequences
