I used to think it was just about buying stocks, but I didn’t realize there are strategies for managing risk and actually making a profit. Now I feel kinda stuck since I’m not seeing any gains in my portfolio. Do you have any recommendations on what I should consider? I’d really appreciate it!
It's not just about having money to invest in stocks; it's about knowing the right strategies for profit and managing risk. That's why working with an investment advisor is important-they have insights not available to everyone.
I totally agree with you. I started out investing on my own too and lost quite a bit. After the 2020 crash, I managed to pull out about $160k. I then invested that money with an analyst, and in just seven months, I made almost $380,000. It's amazing how having the right guidance can turn things around!
It’s really heartbreaking to see how inflation and recession impact low-income families. The cost of living keeps rising, and many struggle just to meet basic needs, let alone save or invest. It’s a reminder of the importance of finding ways to create financial opportunities. You've helped me a lot sir Ricky! Imagine i invested $50,000 and received $190,500 after 14 days
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Ricky Wen.
Retirement becomes truly fulfilling when you possess two essential elements: ample financial resources and a meaningful purpose in life. Make prudent investment choices to secure good returns and ensure a comfortable retirement.
Rising prices have affected my intention of retiring at 62, working part-time, and building my savings. I'm worried about whether individuals who weathered the 2008 financial crisis found it less challenging than my current situation. The stock market's volatility, coupled with a reduced income, is making me anxious about having enough for retirement.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $$275k to $850K...
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.
Horrible all this spam comments suggesting brokers or financial advisors to make you rich on a fast track. These sharks always pop up at great content like Azuls videos.
I tend to be if anything too conservative in my investments. I could have definitely had a larger net worth if I had maintained my aggressive allocation I had while I was working. I have absolutely no regrets. I haven’t always made the most profitable decisions but every decision I have made with my investments I made with the best information available at the time. Not going to chase returns at this point in my life.
One of my mantras is “take no more risk than what you need to achieve your goals”. You only need to become financially independent once in your life. Good job protecting your nest egg. And, keep enjoying that peaceful sleep that comes from knowing your financial future is secure . 🪺 Azul
Just be ready to "help" and question the advisor to insure you understand what they want to do with funds. dont just accept their plan without being comfortable and studying thoroughly yourself..they aren't always looking at the possibly best option for you...even the best ones may miss things.
I’m 67 , retired 2 years. My allocation is 60/40. I think we are going into high inflation . Think tariffs and national debt, perfect inflation storm. And maybe stagflation. Also I am assuming we will see a 20% or more correction.i think equities will have a 5 year “winter” of low or flat growth. However, I figure stocks will recover in the long term, and prove to counteract inflation.
That is the best type of catch-up to play. Nothing wrong with that. As you know, it is very hard to do so congratulations on making it happen. You’re retired self will thank today you in five years. 😎Azul
@@AzulWells Thank you for taking time for the comment. I try to comment on every one of your videos I see as I want to see your channel grow. Keep up the great work!
I think the stock market will just keep going up. 401k 's didn't begin until 1978 and even then hardly anyone was contributing. Fast forward 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, 40 years...More and more people began contributing and the stock market just keeps going up, up, up. And even if there is a 30% correction, it will bounce back quickly because of greed. We're all greedy by human nature and want to prosper. I could be totally wrong. But unless there is a nuclear war, I don't see how the market goes down as long a employees and employers keep piling money into their 401ks. All that money's got to go somewhere...most probably into the stock market.
2025, new year, new you ! I am re-evaluating everything from the perspective that we have just this moment and STOP hanging onto the past. Past contacts, projects from the past that are not done, get rid of it all and look forward, have a forward looking mindset. Get serious about what you want in your life and say NO to other distractions. Focus and get a sense of accomplishment vs a sense of overwhelm !
I love your attitude and goals Dan (and the yellow VW bug from your profile shot). Here’s to a great 2025! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. 🚙Azul
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience..
how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking??
I’m from Sydney Australia and that doesn’t affect me.. I’ve just subscribed because he articulates financial concepts clearly in ways I can easily understand and he has a calm nature making his videos enjoyable to watch.. keep up the great work 👍
@@cathyn2907 I agree with everything you just said, but he also needs to get up to speed when it comes to we the peoples' $s being electronically generated in order to meet federal expenditures..., and by the way, the reality of this Equity Spending (ES) process is coming to the great sovereign nation of Australia as well.
When did he say the national debt doesn't exist? And what nation was he referring to? Remember that the Internet is global, so he may not have been talking about your country
Where did he say that the national debt does not exist yet we have a national debt? That makes no sense. No one should follow a financial advisor that says that our national debt does not exist.

This is incredible. Could you recommend who you work with? I really could use some help at this moment.
Her name is ZAREEN GRACE CHURCH . I can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like
I’ve just looked up her full name on my browser and found her webpage, very much appreciate this
Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to. Start saving, keep saving, and stick to investments.

Absolutely! Profits are possible, especially now, but complex transactions should be handled by experienced market professionals.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Ricky Wen.
Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things
Ricky Wen demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit

Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.

reported three spammers today alone and another one who's always trolling the same regurgitated comments.
Thank you Azul for your guidance

Wasting your money with others is the biggest mistake.
I'm currently playing "catch-up" with additional 401K contributions in a conservative fund. Less than five years away from retirement.
That is the best type of catch-up to play. Nothing wrong with that. As you know, it is very hard to do so congratulations on making it happen. You’re retired self will thank today you in five years. 😎Azul
I have a feeling that I have heard all these concepts before... Nothing to take with me to my day...

Everyone should keep in mind that this "financial advisor" is on the public record as stating that we have a national debt that does not exist.
Where did he say that?
I’m from Sydney Australia and that doesn’t affect me.. I’ve just subscribed because he articulates financial concepts clearly in ways I can easily understand and he has a calm nature making his videos enjoyable to watch.. keep up the great work 👍
