Massive respect for not only avoiding the word "crash" in your title but also not making it all caps with a shocked thumbnail of your face up in flames.
Oh great, just as I save up $75k in my emergency fund, the market decides to go on a $6.4T rollercoaster ride. Perfect timing! 😅 I guess my dreams of early retirement are going to take a little detour. Any tips on where to even begin investing without losing it all?
Hey, at least you’re ahead of the game with that $75k cushion! But honestly, market drops are just part of the game. I’ve seen these dips before, and if you play it smart, you could come out stronger. If you’re really unsure, though, a good financial advisor made a difference for me. Maybe worth a thought!
"I’m in the same boat...finally got some money saved up, but now I’m stuck wondering if I need an advisor or just try going solo. Where do you even find a legit advisor? I don’t want to end up with someone who just pushes me into expensive funds."
There are a handful of CFAs. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘Linda Aretha Reeves’ for some years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s known in her field, look her up.
"Watched Linda Aretha on Bloomberg finance summit 4 years ago and her presentation was fantastic! If you want someone who knows their stuff, she’s a solid choice."
One of my lecturers at Uni told us to “never believe economists - as long as they’re talking about the future” (the man is also an economist, ofc). That kind of explains the situation. Despite a wealth of knowledge from the past, having somewhat decent and established indicators, recency bias and the opiniated nature of the field still makes everything unpredictable. Staying calm and focusing on the fundamentals is honestly the best advice one can give. Thank you!
Economics is called "The Dismal Science" for very good reason. Behavioral economics (a recent addition to economic models) is a refreshing more successful change, but it doesn't help forecast the stock market.
But isnt the whole stock market or the economy totally based on beliefs and predictions ? Everyone whos selling or buying has a reason to do so (thats a fundamental isnt it ?) which can be predicted and smart people mostly always benefit from it. Whats your opinion on it ? Well, staying calm and focusing on the fundamentals as you said, will always be the best advice !
Unfortunately, People crave certainty and simplicity far more than accuracy. Combine that with fear and you have a receipt for a scam (or maybe a skilled politician). At a minimum you have their attention and that is the currency of the internet. When someone says "I am not sure... a reasonable amount of evidence seems to be generally pointing in this direction. So maybe" That is someone I want to listen to. It is the most important sign that this person at least understands what they don't know, and thus has likely done the most homework. I love your content man. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I agree. It has always been through tough/hard times that "skilled people" rise to the top and bring out the worst scandals in history. The best advice is to stay calm and stick to the fundamentals and that was the message f this video.
I just have this idea of half of Finance TH-cam, with its penchant for Shocked TH-cam Face(TM) sending awful comments to this guy. "Stop being so calm and rational, it's impacting our business model."
Optimism/ pessimism isn't treated equally. People call for a crash and when it doesn't happen, they aren't held accountable. But if you say the bulls are running, you'll be ridiculed if it tumbles.
You are correct! S&P 500 is up 2000 points from Aug 2020. It has NEVER been this high before in HISTORY. 2000 point growth since 2020. Almost the fastest growth in history. Some economists just live in a bubble.
I am a long time critic of utuber in this business. But it is refreshing to actually hear someone say, we don't actually know what caused it ....thank you
Give it time. Some of the greatest historical bull runs in stonks have happened during overall bear markets. Stocks often rip higher after massive sell offs.. but they are death throes, not a real recovery.
It feels like skepticism over AI is getting more and more common. I see more and more AI skepticism. And it feels like a big % of the overall market was drivin by an AI hype battle. AI has absolutely made my life worse (useless call centers, useless chatbots, 80% of my Facebook feed is now AI generated sponsored content, 80% of google and big search results seem to be AI generated and wrong.) But it has yet to make my life easier. I watched a big salespitch on a new LLM product lately. It was just an search engine that linked to their existing forms. Which, are great, but it was just a plain language search engine, which is both old tech and meh. Most of the productivity gains I have seen are people being carefully trained on how to use it - and then it was minimal, and costs as much as hiring a human.
It's yet another tech bubble - companies are so short sighted that they drop billions on the next "big thing", only to find a lot of it was just techbros making things up to fleece money from greedy VCs. First it was big data, then blockchain/metaverse, and now AI. AI is sure as hell more useful than those others, but it's far less AIG and far more world's largest predictive keyboard...
I barely noticed the market going down. I like recessions since it allows me to buy things at a discount; Markets go up, markets go down. Been working full time for over 30 years, seen all kinds of markets in those times. Focus on the fundamentals: live within your means, don't be over leveraged, and have a large emergency fund.
@@John_winston Live within your means, don't borrow heavily and have a large emergency fund. Preferably 3-6 months of your critical spending as an emergency fund.
When getting my masters in Data Science, one of the big case studies we work on for data error is the Jobs report. The jobs report is almost never accurate since its a projection and not actual numbers. When looking at the report a year in the past you see how jobs numbers are drastically different than what's reported. So it's a bit concerning our entire economy can go into an emotional recession from fake numbers 😅

I know why the stock market crashed. Its because I decided to invest my full investment goals the end of July, instead of spacing it out over the whole year.
Could you make a video explaining the Plaza Accord? I have read that it might be the reason why the Japanese economy went into a recession back in the early 1990s and why it has not been able to recovered.

One thing I have learned about the stock market is that it is very very manipulated. It will not let investors know when it go up or down. It will always do the opposite what investors think it might do... If investors can figure out what the market is going to do, companies will go bankruptcy.... So I don't waste my time and energy to bother what the market is going to do...... for me .. Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 532k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Milton Harper's, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.
If the market has taught me anything, it's that it always recovers, but I can't seem to focus on the long run, when major factors like my retirement and my reserve are wreaking havoc on inflation. I require a solid data trajectory and solution as soon as possible.
Milton's analyses delve deeper than surface-level trends, encompassing technical, fundamental, and sentiment analysis to offer a comprehensive view of the market.
With intel, it was never part of the "AI boom", its management has been failing to innovate for years. So it should have cut dividend and emplyees like a year ago. its has nothing to do with the over all cutting of employees in the tech sector due to efficiency optimization.
Hey Richard @ThePlainBagel ! Could you do some videos or even shorts on some of the indicators used to determine the health of the economy? Before this video, I didn't know the VIX index and Sahm's rule. I have not gotten a good grasp on macroeconomics yet and thought you could help! Good video as always.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks
@@Lourd-Bab However, if you do not have access to a professional like Clementina Abate Russo, quitting your job to focus on trading may not be the best approach. It is important to consider all options and seek guidance from reliable sources before making any major decisions. Consulting with an AI or using automated trading systems can also be helpful in managing investments while balancing other commitments.
Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Focus on long term investments in property, stocks, and bonds. Avoid copying, daytrading and 'chart astrology'. Diversify across different geographies, industries, and value chain stages - to reduce your risk. You can do this with ETFs, or by selecting different stocks yourself. This is the best way to invest for more than 90% of people
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?

I lucked out since this let me buy a bunch of stocks I was looking at which then had a sharp decrease in price so I got to buy more than I was budgeting for. And then the next day bounced back a bit. rare case where I managed to time the market.
The sell-off is being triggered because of one simple fact: a significant portion of the capital which is invested in the US stock market (& US FX/currency) has its foundation built-upon QUICKSAND. Meaning, much of the capital originates from margins, currency loans, and other dubious/speculative locations. Before this pull-back, the S&P 500 was closing-in on a 100% gain, in FIVE YEARS. Consequently, given historical context & data, you can assume a SIGNIFICANT PORTION of that 100% is from capital which is VERY "weak." Imagine, if you will, the stock market is a skyscraper you are building. And, to save money while building it, you decide that every 10th floor will have wooden (skeletal) beams, instead of reenforced steel. Sure, you will save $, and after construction, the skyscraper will stand proud! However, this structure is now INCREDIBLY VULNERABLE to unforeseen/unplanned events, such as earthquakes. Japan + Jobs report was a 3.0 on the Richter scale. Not enough to DESTROY the building, but, people have heard loud "cracking" noises from those wooden beams...
Don't forget the next part "Hello, I am an engineer, I am willing to certify this building is sound. I just need 100million$. If the building fails, you can blame me, but I don't care because I'm rich AF".
Long term investors don’t get emotional. Rather than share price driven, it’s all about tracking your companies’ quarterly results and their growth prospects. Pullback is normal and “healthy”. If you have been doing this for more than 5 years and assuming you are holding the right stocks, you probably know their fundamentals inside out. Let compound growth continue. No fear.
I mean, we shouldn't be surprised. Everything was inflated in price and we needed the correction to avoid even more damage. If anything its healthy and nothing wrong with buying on dip (just be safe out there and wish you all well :D)
Prices always fall because people sell. People often are forced to sell from margin calls. So BitCoin is actually more vulnerable than Gold, since investors are forced to liquidate BitCoin to make margin call in another investment. So if everything drops, it's not necessarily that say BitCoin is fundamentally going to drop or fall, it's falling because of outside selling pressures. What should be concerning is if a stock or asset falls while the market is going up (people are buying).
I was looking forward to your video on this topic and you didn’t disappoint. I think there was a lot of retail panic selling toward the end of the drop too, but that’s not a bearish indicator for the economy.. Just means retail money is often less durable than it should be. Anyway, love your content! Keep up the great work!
This was a spooky few weeks. I just got back into stocks last month, because I wanted to get in on QQQY. So this Correction, plus the Defiance Stock Split, caused a massive dip that had me lose 20% at one point in my portfolio. I also Margin everything I can, too, I have a goal to rush to next year (don't worry, I don't plan on quitting my day job). It's sad so many others lost their spine, especially just before the reverse stock split.
Lol. We know exactly what happened. Japan saw a 7% dump. That lead to futures taking a dump, which lead to risk desks forcing liquidations on firms to meet their risk requirements. It was a positive feedback loop that went through the night and into the next day. Right now, you still have options out there at higher costs than firms are willing to buy, while keeping this risk on their books (i.e. it's costing more to deload risk as a result of the increased vega). This will all likely be mostly over as of this next Monday once expirations push values closer to zero. If you're looking at what happened last week and this week in macro terms, you're missing the big picture. It started with risk desks forcing liquidations which resulted in the market taking a collective sh!t with their over-leveraged positions.

The market has gone berserk! whether you're a newbie or a veteran trader, everyone needs a sort of coach at some point to thrive forward.
If the market has taught me anything, it's that it always recovers, but I can't seem to focus on the long run, when major factors like my retirement and my reserve are wreaking havoc on inflation. I require a solid data trajectory and solution as soon as possible.
I appreciate the professionalism and dedication of the team behind Milton’s trade signal service.
Milton's analyses delve deeper than surface-level trends, encompassing technical, fundamental, and sentiment analysis to offer a comprehensive view of the market.
With intel, it was never part of the "AI boom", its management has been failing to innovate for years. So it should have cut dividend and emplyees like a year ago. its has nothing to do with the over all cutting of employees in the tech sector due to efficiency optimization.
Hey Richard @ThePlainBagel ! Could you do some videos or even shorts on some of the indicators used to determine the health of the economy? Before this video, I didn't know the VIX index and Sahm's rule. I have not gotten a good grasp on macroeconomics yet and thought you could help! Good video as always.
I second this idea! @theplainbagel
Everything is overvalued PEs are so high its hard find companies with good balance sheets and at undervalued price.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks
@@Lourd-Bab However, if you do not have access to a professional like Clementina Abate Russo, quitting your job to focus on trading may not be the best approach. It is important to consider all options and seek guidance from reliable sources before making any major decisions. Consulting with an AI or using automated trading systems can also be helpful in managing investments while balancing other commitments.
@@Bestjudy001 Oh please I’d love that. Thanks!
@@Lourd-Bab Clementina Abate Russo is her name
Lookup with her name on the webpage.
Great summary and level-headed advice as always!
Tldr: no clue!
I also have no clue why analysts even earn money 🙄
Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2023 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Focus on long term investments in property, stocks, and bonds. Avoid copying, daytrading and 'chart astrology'. Diversify across different geographies, industries, and value chain stages - to reduce your risk. You can do this with ETFs, or by selecting different stocks yourself. This is the best way to invest for more than 90% of people
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
'Rebecca Noblett Roberts' a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
I merely Googled her name, and her website up right away. So far, it looks interesting. I sent her an email, and I hope she responds soon. Thanks
Totally agree. Stock market always overreact to the latest news. Especially if it's a bad one.
Best channel for financial updates, keep going (from italy🇮🇹)
I lucked out since this let me buy a bunch of stocks I was looking at which then had a sharp decrease in price so I got to buy more than I was budgeting for.
And then the next day bounced back a bit.
rare case where I managed to time the market.
Good for you. I tried that trick and it failed, I stick to ETFs now.
@@Lonovavir just get SPY and that's pretty much all you need to know
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much. I've tried all the strategies but this is takes the cake! You really don't understand how much this strategy helps!
My portfolio is up 1.63% for the day, down 2.09% for the week and up 2.28% for the month. Up 11.47% YTD.
Best finance channel on TH-cam. 1 mil subs soon!
The sell-off is being triggered because of one simple fact: a significant portion of the capital which is invested in the US stock market (& US FX/currency) has its foundation built-upon QUICKSAND. Meaning, much of the capital originates from margins, currency loans, and other dubious/speculative locations.
Before this pull-back, the S&P 500 was closing-in on a 100% gain, in FIVE YEARS.
Consequently, given historical context & data, you can assume a SIGNIFICANT PORTION of that 100% is from capital which is VERY "weak."
Imagine, if you will, the stock market is a skyscraper you are building. And, to save money while building it, you decide that every 10th floor will have wooden (skeletal) beams, instead of reenforced steel.
Sure, you will save $, and after construction, the skyscraper will stand proud!
However, this structure is now INCREDIBLY VULNERABLE to unforeseen/unplanned events, such as earthquakes.
Japan + Jobs report was a 3.0 on the Richter scale. Not enough to DESTROY the building, but, people have heard loud "cracking" noises from those wooden beams...
Don't forget the next part
"Hello, I am an engineer, I am willing to certify this building is sound. I just need 100million$. If the building fails, you can blame me, but I don't care because I'm rich AF".
@@donm2067 HAHAH, for sure!
I didn't know about the Carry Trades, so thanks for that info 👍👍
In times like these, limit orders are awesome.
Something to note on the Berkshire AAPL sale; the sales took place in Q2, which means they ended no later than the end of June.
Thanks for this video! I was frustrated because I didn't understand what the issue was.
With so much panic and rumours, this was so refreshing thank you : )
Long term investors don’t get emotional. Rather than share price driven, it’s all about tracking your companies’ quarterly results and their growth prospects. Pullback is normal and “healthy”. If you have been doing this for more than 5 years and assuming you are holding the right stocks, you probably know their fundamentals inside out. Let compound growth continue. No fear.
It rose so fast so quickly. If it drops 20% from its 52 high, I don’t see why that is a problem.
Crazy point of view here.. it'll go up again ?
Prices are already correcting themselves from the crash
Thanks for yet another great video!
This is the commentary I was waiting for! Other youtubers didn't fail to embarass themselves with al the doom and gloom talk they could muster!
Great video Richard love your TH-cam channel
I mean, we shouldn't be surprised. Everything was inflated in price and we needed the correction to avoid even more damage. If anything its healthy and nothing wrong with buying on dip (just be safe out there and wish you all well :D)
This was presented in a very understandable way. Thanks!
On the other hand, on Thursday there was a serious recovery as buyers took advance of market price decreases.
We will eventually call every down-tick a crash.
The Nekkei dropped 12% while the VIX spiked to 60 during institutional pre-market trading... all on sort-of-bad US job numbers?
A.i is overhyped but if handled properly, it will be a pretty big deal when its used in the right places.
Calm, concise and well researched as always. Keep it up
Could not figure out what was going on with all the competing narratives out there, was hoping that the big bagel would do a video on this, thanks!
Thanks for explaining the carry trade bro. Simple and easy to follow. You know stuff xD
Prices always fall because people sell.
People often are forced to sell from margin calls. So BitCoin is actually more vulnerable than Gold, since investors are forced to liquidate BitCoin to make margin call in another investment.
So if everything drops, it's not necessarily that say BitCoin is fundamentally going to drop or fall, it's falling because of outside selling pressures.
What should be concerning is if a stock or asset falls while the market is going up (people are buying).
I Always enjoy your style and your honesty.
Your channel is the best place to learn about trading. Thanks for your valuable work!
This is exciting. Now I can purchase more stocks at reasonable prices.
Perfect video. Kahneman and Buffet would be proud
I was looking forward to your video on this topic and you didn’t disappoint. I think there was a lot of retail panic selling toward the end of the drop too, but that’s not a bearish indicator for the economy.. Just means retail money is often less durable than it should be. Anyway, love your content! Keep up the great work!
Amazing video as always! Very concisely explained
This was a spooky few weeks. I just got back into stocks last month, because I wanted to get in on QQQY. So this Correction, plus the Defiance Stock Split, caused a massive dip that had me lose 20% at one point in my portfolio. I also Margin everything I can, too, I have a goal to rush to next year (don't worry, I don't plan on quitting my day job). It's sad so many others lost their spine, especially just before the reverse stock split.
Loved the honesty here!
Don’t make us wait this long for your input again!! We need someone sensible to calm us down (you)
He is as full time accountant plus TH-cam. Respect that please.
Lol. We know exactly what happened. Japan saw a 7% dump. That lead to futures taking a dump, which lead to risk desks forcing liquidations on firms to meet their risk requirements. It was a positive feedback loop that went through the night and into the next day. Right now, you still have options out there at higher costs than firms are willing to buy, while keeping this risk on their books (i.e. it's costing more to deload risk as a result of the increased vega). This will all likely be mostly over as of this next Monday once expirations push values closer to zero. If you're looking at what happened last week and this week in macro terms, you're missing the big picture. It started with risk desks forcing liquidations which resulted in the market taking a collective sh!t with their over-leveraged positions.
Thanks Richard, your words of calm wisdom are always welcome 🙏
if you don't know what your doing, leave you portfolio alone and keep on cost averaging the dip.
It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover.
Thanks for making this video. Great work!
I'm only down 10% compared to last month. I think it's overblown, but I would not mind getting cheaper shares if it goes down.
I know really little about finance/economy and I just wanna say that I really appreciate your insight and knowledge
Thank you for all you're doing to calm the markets, Chairman Coffin!
