  • The financial sector and derivatives may have a Hindenburg moment if the US Treasury market collapses. Rising market illiquidity in the $14.8 trillion U.S. Treasury market, according to Bank of America, might affect other financial markets.
  • As an elder millennial, one of the few advantages is having lived through the Great Recession. My advice. Reduce unnecessary expenses, increase your savings by investing in financial markets and do not sell. One thing I know for sure is that diversifying your income can help insulate you from much of the craziness going on in the world.
  • Hi! I’m excited to be here in your channel and I’m interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.

    I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled goal.-

    When he said “my real dad not my biological dad,” that was probably the realest shit I ever heard.

    cant believe 20yrs ago he use to go to the post office himself to deliver books for it customers and today he is the richest man in the world. Wow! Wat a story.
  • A lot of folks have been going on about a January rally and said stocks that would be experiencing significant growth these festive 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, is this a good time to buy or no?
  • amidst lockdown, a blessing in disguise. At once, I consulted an advisor to stay afloat and with subsequent investments, I'm only 15% short of $1m as of today.
  • Invest in stocks is a great way to invest your money. The team is constantly checking the market for changes and make sure that you are always informed about the best time to invest. As a result, I have made more money than ever before, and I don't have to manage my portfolio on my own! Invest in stocks, it's worth it!
  • High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

    Investing and doing business will go a long way in building up finances in times like these. Credits to Sir Trevor James Beckerman for putting me on He recommendations are highly commendable
  • Investing is considered a bedrock in making generational wealth. Most people don't know when, where or what to invest in. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance and ideas. Meaningful contributions are always welcomed.

    Please bring Larry Page & Elon Musk on the show... Like the comment so that they notice...

    I agree the stock market is a very good way to make passive income. I have heard of several investors who were making more than $40k a month from the market. I'm ready to go into the market now, but I'm careful to not make a mistake. Or are there are safe bets?
  • It amazes me greatly how I go from living an average lifestyle to making over 63k per month I've learned a lot over the past few years that there are plenty of opportunities in the financial markets; all it takes is just to focus on the right thing. Credits to Zach Micah Demers

    David Rubenstein is a blessing to many. I achieved success with the easy steps below.
  • @james.atkins88
    Earning money and preserving it are distinct endeavors. The absence of comprehensive investment education in schools underscores this notion. The instances you've cited are well-grounded, particularly in times of market crises that have enabled me to achieve significant financial gains. While many may shy away from challenging times, I approach them with a positive perspective, a sentiment shared by my advisor.

    Many people will panic to find a charger before their phone dies, but won't panic to find a plan before their dreams dies

    My honest advise to new investors ,buy and hold quality stocks. Ignore market forecasts and opinions, they're mostly entertaining but not very helpful.

    The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I start investing my cash in other to achieve all my dream with the help of Lucy Mary Liam. The difference Mrs Lucy Mary make in my life is second to none. It's definitely a life changing kindness. I really appreciate her effort in my life time.
