  • Is this a good time to buy stocks? I know everyone is saying stocks are at a discount and all, but just how long will It take for us to recover, obviously there are strategies to maneuver in this present market but these strategies doesn't come common to the average folk, or am I better off putting my money elsewhere?
  • After a nightmarish 2022, shell-shocked investors have losses to recoup and plenty to ponder, as an inflation report and a raft of other data did little to change expectations that the Federal Reserve would likely continue hiking intrest rates even if the economy slows down, Which means more red ink for portfolios for the first quarter of year 2023. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $250k bond/stocck portfolio

    Dividends are what got me into investing in the stock market. The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. Have over $600K in my portfolio as I bought a lot of dividend stocks before, I'm buying more now, and I will buy more when it drops further.

    I used to think everybody went broke during the Great Depression and other major crashes but they didn’t… Some made millions, I also thought everybody went out of business during these times but they didn’t, some went into business, there's always depression/recession for some people and there's always a good time for others, it's all about perspective.
  • 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 60, I would appreciate any advice on potential investments.
  • Every day we have a new problem. It's the new normal. At first we thought it was a crisis, now we know it's a new normal and we have to adapt. 2023 will be a year of severe economic pain all over the nation.. what steps can we take to generate more income during quantitative adjustment?I can't afford my hard-earned $80,000 savings to turn to dust
  • 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.

    Simply do this; disregard the market opinions and projections. I'd suggest buying shares of reputable firms and holding them for long that's exactly why investing in stock now will be the best a favorable decision
  • There are lots of mixed opinions about stocks and there projection in the next coming years, I aim for short term solid gains from market correction and I'd definitely jump on the boat if I knew a thing or two about day-trading, but then again what do I really know? I'm just looking for the right moves to grow and hedge my stagnant reserve of $370k from inflation.
  • I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.
  • The fin-Markets have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stocks and bonds. My $400,000 portfolio is down by approximately 25%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before will be highly appreciated.

    I really admire Howard Marks! So much wisdom in his words.
  • @Alexibawendi
    I began investing at the age of 40 primarily by leveraging my hard work and dedication. Now, at 45 years old, I recently achieved a milestone where my passive income exceeded $100,000 in a single month. This success reinforces the importance of following this valuable advice. Take action and make it happen
  • @AF_CSL
    Excellent interview! This guy is spot on! Thanks!
  • Howard Marks is a hero and someone I attempted to model myself after. We are very lucky that he’s willing to teach so much. Kudos.

    My number 1 investment advise that investors nowadays tend to take for granted is "diversification". You must never put all your eggs in one basket. I'll give an unrelated example; An associate of mine lost almost all of his inheritance in the FTX saga and now he feels investments are a scam. Personally, as one who has been into Real Estates for as long as I can remember, I made my first million earlier this year from stocks alone (used the services of an expert though). I also experiment with a couple of other things. Imagine what the situation would had been given the present housing market if I were solely banking on it. Goodluck!
  • The stock market has been a really tough one this past year, but I watched an interview on CNBC where the anchor kept mentioning " karina mattis ". This prompted me to get in touch with her, and from August 2022 till now we have been working together, and I can now boast of $540,000 in my trading portfolio.
  • Thank you for breaking it down!!We'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
