You just summarised WBs’ message
Stocks extended their year-to-date rally following the CPI report, with the S&P 500 last up 0.8% in afternoon trading. but I don’t know if stocks will quickly rebound, continue to pull back or move sideways for a few weeks, or if conditions will rapidly deteriorate.I am under pressure to grow my reserve.
The recession is here, where do investors look at for wealth gains now? mortgage rates still on the rise with higher imports and lower exports, yet the Fed is to lessen cost. Something will eventually break if they keep raising interests and quantitative tightening.
if you want to hold on to cash, put it in a safe deposit box, if you want assets, buy things people need in a shtf society, food, ammo, wood, water filters, tools, have a skill at building and fixing
when we go into recession, tech will do poorly as a sector considering what’s going on in the world, while defense stocks should be doing good, but always do your own research, or speak to a valid advisor before investing your money
Agreed, I’ve always delegated my excesses to a pro, ever since suffering portfolio steep-down amid covid-19 outbreak. As of today, I’m semi-retired with barely 25% short of my $1m retirement goal after subsequent investments, and only work 7.5 hours a week.
truly appreciate the implementation of ideas and strategies that result to unmeasurable progress, thus the search for a reputable advisor, mind sharing info of this person guiding you please?
My CFA ’Sophia Maurine Lanting’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
