My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless.
The key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relationship to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That holds true from long term investing to day trading.
I totally agree; I am 66 years old, recently retired, with approximately $1.2 million in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, I didn't do all this alone, but with the help of a financial advisor. Having one is currently the best way to trade in the stock market, especially for people nearing retirement.
Is there any chance you could recommend who you work with? I've wanted to make this switch for a very long time now, but I've been very hesitant about. I'll appreciate any recommendation.
Finding financial advisors like Melissa Terri Swayne who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
I started my 250k portfolio last year with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is way up (22.25%) and VUG is waaaaay up (39.62%). Thanks for the education! Will this provide solid cashflow?
I agree, it's important to balance your portfolio allocations. I recommend a managed portfolio, though their performance can vary. It's best to consult a fiduciary for guidance. That's what my spouse and I did, and we've grown our portfolio to $1.7 million.
I'm furious! 2024 has been a rollercoaster in the stock market. One minute, I’m riding high on AI stocks, the next, I’m plummeting with tech crashes. The so-called “youtube experts” kept giving conflicting advice, leaving me more confused than ever. It feels like gambling, not investing. Why is this market so unpredictable?
I feel your pain, This year has been a nightmare for investors. The volatility is insane, and it’s hard to know who to trust. I was in the same boat until I found Kristin Amy Rose. She cuts through the noise and gives solid, actionable advice. You might want to check her out!

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert
True, A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors 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
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?
Monica Shawn Marti is the licensed advisor that I use. Just research the name. You’d find the necessary details in a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I wonder what the best opportunities to invest now are, there are opinions but a little later I find out these opinions don't matter as a totally different turn of events play out with the stocks they discussed therein...
stocks are overrated now. buy gold , 5% in crypto . rest in cash. and wait for the stock/property/land. price to crash . but them after it stops dropping for 7 - 12 months at the bottom.
I successfully trade in my own portfolio, and also follow others because I'm interested in their strategies. I realized I've got better at managing the trader's strategies too. There's nothing wrong at all with having someone far more dedicated manage some of your portfolio.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.

Considering Bitcoin's evolution, I aim to capitalize on its potential. With an 80% allocation to equities and 20% in cash, my strategy incorporates the S&P 500's anticipated growth of over 10% this year. My primary concern lies in optimizing a sizable stock and bond portfolio to achieve significant returns while mitigating risk.
Knowledgeable Investors know where and how to put money during a crisis in order to reduce risk and maximize returns. See a market strategist with experience if you are unable to manage these market conditions
I agree, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise fromm early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q1 next year
great gains there! mind sharing details of your advisor pleas? i've started gaining more cash flow with my employment and looking at putting money into stocks, Gold and alternative assets that can help build wealth over time
Rugger Pal - The guy who knows how to monetize his English accent, story telling, his Goldman badge, Content creation/marketing/hype skills unlike anyone I have seen. The guy is average at best but touts his 'macro chad' skills like none other.
@@stopper90004 Can you be more specific? I am many things, personas, energies, competencies, works in progress. What I am not is a hyperbole - hope that helps
Smart people compare your success to his and NO ONE listens to the less successful person. My guess is extremely less successful as in NOT successful at all. No victims in Crypto
Don't trust raul. He is well connected and he and his VC buddies are incentivised to hype up his positions in sol, sui, bonk, whatever. He is the biggest grifter you've ever seen in this space. He will dump his bag on you when you're still hyper bullish because he told you to be.
The man's predictions are not just wrong they are categorically wrong it's all for likes I've said this before if he said it was raining I'd buy some shorts and sunglasses what a muppit
It's sad how difficult things have become in this recessive economy. I was wondering how to utilise some money I had. I used some of it for e-commerce business, but that sank. I'm thinking of how to protect my $450K-worth stock portfolio from decline, but haven't figured which way to go.
Very difficult indeed, but when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. You have to learn and handle. you should hire a CFP to help you diversify your assets to include ETFs/index funds/mutual funds and stocks of companies with consistent cash flows. Don't go for penny stocks.
Opting for a brokerage Adviser is currently the optimal approach for navigating the market, particularly for those nearing retirement. I've been consulting with a coach for a while, and my portfolio has surged by 300% since 2022
Thanks for the insights. Since I became so rich in cryptocurrency I realise that crypto is the future cuz l invested 10k and made up to 36k as weekly profit I appreciate the help of your channel😊
Trading hasn’t been going well for me lately. Every day, I watch videos and see people sharing their success stories and praising how well their trades are working out
I usually look up your videos for updates! Our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I feel for people with disabilities not getting the help they deserve. Thank you Ms Catherine adriana, imagine investing $12,000 and received $305,500.
Hello,I'm a Doctor from Scotland, how do you make such amount? I'm a born christian but sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.
Most people don't understand the concept of "buying the dip" buying the dip is all about buying digital assets when their prices are down and selling off when the price rises.
Mrs Catherine adriana was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from adriana catherine
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I studied economics at uni, graduating in 2012. I deliberately avoided paying into a pension for that reason. Instead I invested in property & tech stocks...as my "pension." Then in 2017 I found crypto. I'm retired already...handed in my notice in late 2021.
Despite all the financial struggles I and my family faced, everything is finally falling into place! $47,000 weekly profit and riches I'll always praise the Lord
Elizabeth Regina Nelsen has set a precedent for others to follow. We cherish her here in the UK as she has been extremely helpful and made a lot of lives better.
@@stopper90004your comment is pretty stupid considering those things have multiple uses. Gold and silver, jewellery and technology. Oil is used for cars and manufacturing
I just want my money to keep outgrowing the inflation rate. That’s why I'm looking for companies now to invest my $120k savings. Just don't know strategies to employ to make significant gains
Chose quality stocks and follow them up. If you're not one for such complexities, hire a wealth manager to grow your money. I use the latter. Pulled in more than $46k in the last two months alone.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I used to depend on RU-vid videos but it wasn't working. I’ve been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.
U cant count Bitcoins returns starting year 2011. At that point practically nobody owned it. Around 2016 is when enough people owned it to call it an "investment product." N if u start counting from 2016 the returns r less stellar. Thats the more accurate way to compare BTC's returns with other established asset classes such as gold n equities markets.
If you have barely enough money to pay rent and food, then "getting excited" about selling out is not really possible isn't it? Just remember how many people are in this situation.
He sounds so convincing. I remember being in meetings with guys from Goldmans (his ex shop) that came across so confident and smart back in the day. The best thing about this is remembering how wrong they were. Those of you who dont remember last cycle would do well to watch some of his old videos.
You should do your own research and make your own decisions. You're not a victim. I'm guessing you just weren't smart enough to sell and you want someone to blame.
Love the idea that Europe is driving down the cost of electricity. Electric cars are now shockingly expensive to charge, which didn’t use to be the case. Until we embrace nuclear properly the greens will not achieve their objectives of cheapening electricity because the greens want to see a decrease in industrial processes and an expansion of 15-minute cities. Hardly the utopia Raol is envisaging here
The call for banana zone and increased liquidity might correct, but whether or not it will drive asset prices depends on to what extent it has already been priced in. Is it still early enough to be alpha, or is it at this point already the mid curve take?
@@andrewshantz9136 Yeah I see what you mean, but if you had the alpha and anticipated this upcoming change in liquidity, couldn't you leverage up to front run this?
So btc will not top 75k during this cycle? Ridiculous. Newbs always get rattled when pullbacks happen. This is nothing compared to what the market used to do back before 2017. If this is rattling you....there is no way you woild have survived the market back then.
Let's focus on the main issues. We can't afford to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The manipulation is blatant. Stop the distractions; it's about standing up for transparency and fairness.
I did everything I could to get people to buy the last dive. I sold everything after the peak and brought it all back in, not too far off the low. I also added from cash. Basically, I got everything I could after it got off the bottom. BTC, ETH and Solana when ETH was at 1400. I'm following Raoul into the third quarter of 2025 unless he sees an approaching early winter. I do plan on selling it all if we ride a banana zone and the cycle is on schedule. And I will be buying back slowly and increasing as the market goes down. If there is some sort of crash, I will be coming in with everything I can. After what we have seen, I do not understand anyone who can look at the most basic performance chart, not owning crypto and not buying as much as they can if it craters.
The predictive power wielded by H.G. Wells was utterly astounding. His world was still decades away from adopting the automobile, let alone computers or e-commerce, and when he wrote The Time Machine, it was in many ways the very first science fiction novel. Yet, when he peered ahead several millennia, he saw what only some are beginning to catch glimpses of today, a century and a half later. A future when Humanity will be so divided into two camps that they become separate species. It’s not Homo Sapiens vs Neanderthals, it’s Morlocks and Eloi.
I am a long term BTC holder. Still this market reminds me of a story. A little boy on a farm wanted a pony for Christmas. That morning came-no pony. Dejected, he went outside. Seeing a big pile of horse manure, he started digging in the pile saying “There has to be a pony in here somewhere.”
One company is manipulating the market, harming millions. It's deliberate and damaging. Let's report this to the SEC-don't fear taking action. We deserve transparency and fairness!
I will agree that financial assets are driven by global liquidity. I will also agree that global debt is rising exponentially and that life is becoming more digitally driven. However I think that it is a great leap from those premises to the conclusion that cryptocurrency will be the best performing asset class. For cryptocurrency to be useful and for blockchain technology to be used, it needs to perform a needed service more efficiently and more cheaply than other methods. I have yet to see what these services are and even then they will need to perform them more efficiently than the current methods. And there seems to be no moat to establishing a cryptocurrency. And if cryptocurrency will be the best performing asset, why will anyone invest in providing a necessary physical good or service when one can make more money in cryptocurrency? With everyone investing in financial products and crypto, eventually there will be shortages of necessary physical goods like food and shelter and then you will see what exponential looks like.
Best Raoul Pal interview yet, great questions...Pal makes investing in crypto feel like such a no-brainer and it makes sense. The sad thing about the idea that 8%/yr inflation is the cost we pay to keep the game going is that the working class folks who live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to make investments are being completely left behind and once the robots keep taking over, they won't even have their jobs anymore and will be subject to government dictates for their rations.
genious interview, raoul may be shilling sometimes but i think he means well and tries his best, while also looking out to make a buck to support his businesses as any good business man has to
Rarely does anyone ask "what if I'm wrong?" Raoul has some interesting takes, but a big wager can lead to exponential heartaches which can turn into depression, suicide, divorce, drinking, drugs, etc. when it was just preventable on the front end by asking the simple question and spreading the risk across many asset classes
hydrocarbons are NOT fossil fuels. There is no such thing as fossil fuels. That's a "mid curve" appreciation of energy sources. I say "all of the above" and having governments unfreeing markets with stupid "green energy" (policies (follow their argument to the logical conclusion and it's "brown energy"...carbon is NECESSARY and ask any plant what they think about CO2) and thus malinvestment and a waste of precious resources. I still believe that btc and crypto will revolutionize economies but I'm coming from a different premise, i.e. non-fiat garbage (I had to edit cuz I distracted myself and didn't finish a sentence prior to posting). I'm onboard with the upcoming uptrend. There's been some slight difference in central bank behavior but I don't think "it's different this time" meaning that there will still be a "bananss zone"
I like the concept of looking forward to selloffs. One still has to perform management...I'm not saying that's what Raoul is saying. Looking forward to selloffs is a huge mindset shift...always need dry powder
Forget BTC, ETH, and SOL! Those are yesterday's news. If you're looking for the next big thing, Vematum is where you want to be. With its cutting-edge technology, a 100x return is inevitable.
I like Raoul, but nit everyone can keep buying things. The vast majority of us will try to retire, and will spend down all accumulated wealth down to zero. And for those planning to retire, they will not be going into things that could drop 50% like tech and crypto from a bubble. It's simply too risky. These are 30-50 year extrapolations that "stonks go up," not something we can all risk day to day. Optimization is great in theory but diversification is around for a reason, becuase you dont go homesless when one of these speculative investments inevitability goes bust, along with all assets tied to never ending liquidity dumps. We all saw what happened in 2020 from overoptimizing for price and then were left to deal with short supply to the extreme, rather than just doing the smart thing and diversifying suppy chains do be antifragile. Same can be said for the energy supply -- nuclear is the best but should never be our only supply despite that, because there are other benefits beyond nearsighted apects of just cost in the short run. Look at Europe who largely wont create their own oil industries and dont want nuclear near them, and then they reap the consequences of being reliant on Russia and risk people starving or freezing to death. Simply dumb.
Anybody who thinks they will cut while employment is strong and markets are going up is ridiculous. Why would they give up their ammo that allows them to stimulate out of downturns, like recessions, when everything is fine?
