What's the most effective strategy during this period of volatility with the rate cut? Most of my portfolio is in (20% Index funds, 20% CD's 30% Bonds/T-bills and other assets) I want to explore different strategies to benefit from a potential bubble.
Adding META and NVDA are smart additions in my opinion. it's all about balancing your risk tolerance with your long-term goals. Partnering with a financial advisor can help streamline your strategy.
Absolutely! Wealth is made in bear markets. We aren’t in a bear market, but nibbling heavy red days has proven to be fruitful for me over 9 years of investing. I am at $2.25 mil. Biggest positions PLTR, TSLA, SCHD, NVDA, and now looking to build up DRGO alongside finding quality value/growth stocks to buy like TORM. I got $48k divs last year in taxable divs. Q2 taxable divs this year was $17,388 this year. Don't sell when the market is down. Having a skilled Financial counsellor that puts the time in to do in-depth research can be valuable in strategizing your portfolio.
Oh I've heard similar things about hiring an advisor. It's hard to choose one that's very good though. Could you make some useful recommendations?
Enthused about investing for my eventual retirement.
The advisor I’m currently working with is Eva Diane Herald , came across her in a Bloomberg interview, we've worked for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive, She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
Thanks for sharing, I searched her full name and found her web instantly. After reviewing her credentials and conducting due diligence, I reached out to her.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 every 2 weeks even though I barely trade myself.
I'm from Birmingham united kingdom 🇬🇧, The difference Mrs Nessah Haremza makes in my life is second to none it's differently a life changing kindness. I really appreciate her effort in my life.
I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $10,200 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
How..? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?
I'm from Taiwan I and two other of my friends tried her immediately we testified her performing wonders.
Thanks to Mrs nessah
👍Great video...The most important thing everyone should be thinking about right now is how to profit from different sources of income due to the economic collapse. Thank you Mr Matthew Trading for the daily signals that have been a guide to me in my investments!!!.

She is AMAZING!!! Mellody Hobson always bring clear knowledge and understanding. She is so smart and inspirational. She need to keep preaching that DEI benefits the bottom line and fundamentally the shareholders.
DEI is discriminatory because it is based on color and gender. Trump proposed hiring based on meritocracy and is color-blind.
Most people aren't hired based on merit alone. It's usually a relationship. The idea of merit alone is absolutely laughable.
White people have benefited from DEi since there has been an America. If any group has had preferential hearing over other groups, it's white people. This whole thing is to keep white ppl employed. Not all of us are stupid.
I am so grateful for Mellody’s knowledge, mastery, and expertise. “Math has no opinion” MH
She's not DEI, she is the best of the best.
She should be next commissioner of NBA and give us more Asian NBA players.
Well said.
I love this woman.
now I can understand why producer, legendary director and filmmaker George Lucas married her!
With all due respect to Mellody. What a disingenuous argument. The fallacy that access to certain markets comes down to representation rather than superior products and services and great execution from a business standpoint. Diversity is last on the totem people as far as interest of the consumer. The priority is a superior value proposition, and the rest is icing on the cake.
When you have a diversity of minds building your products and planning your teams you have better products and productivity. For example think of all the money that was missed out by decades of products or services made by men that didn't appeal to women. It turns out when you put women on your team they happen to think about how to modify things to make women happy. This is true for any other minority with different life experiences and needs. Having these people in the room is good business sense.
@briannayuille3846 another fallacy, while the inclusion of women in the design process of women clothing added a much needed dimension. It was not the fact that these new entrants were women but rather that they were creative and open minded. Characteristics that the team that was already employed could of implemented had they applied themselves. It had nothing to do with the fact that the new designers were women but rather that they were competent. Because another set of women would of not had those ideas and maybe a different set of men on the original team would of came up with those ideas. It has nothing to do with identity politics but has everything to do with competency.
@briannayuille3846 as someone of color and who wants people of different creeds to get opportunities. It frustrates me when disingenuous ppl make disingenuous arguments to further their agenda. Which in most cases is done in good faith. DEI is not the solution to diversity opportunity problem. We need to sit down and structure an appropriate strategy that takes all the variables into consideration but prioritizes competence or meritocracy.
@@HoustonKhanyile maybe you feel the need need to pander to White Republicans or something? But I have served on the board of directors for a multi-million dollar organization. I am a multi-millionaire myself. Own a proprietary trading firm. And have worked in other proprietary trading firms and telecom since early 2000s. I'm educated as a physicist and computer scientist, but 30 years ago trading firms would have balked at the idea of hiring physicists, statisticians, and computer scientists for what was traditionally an economics and finance job. I can tell you diversity of background is of the utmost importance. In that background includes experiences and expertise in a wide range of fields beyond what people used to think was required to get the job done. Your experiences in life, including being a minority are important for having a balanced thought process while building products. Being a woman in these fields is another asset just like being a physicist in a world of economists. You being a black man is an asset to any company on top of your already existing skills and expertise.
I think you might have missed something...
