People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!

‘Amber Dawn Brummit’ is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.

Look up dividend aristocrats. Pick six to ten from that list. Those companies have a track record of 25+ years of paying dividends. Also, its advisable you work with a financial advisor to help set up a well-structured portfolio.

Consider diversifying your portfolio with a mix of stocks and stable assets. Seeking professional advice now could provide valuable insights and strategies to navigate market uncertainties and protect your investments.

Partnering with a financial advisor has transformed my approach to investing. Their expertise and personalized guidance have not only helped me navigate complex financial markets but also optimized my portfolio to achieve my long-term goals efficiently.

This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors I can connect with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

*Jennifer Leigh Hickman* has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets.

😂

He didn’t! That was actual audio of a money printer 😅

It has also been a great business opportunity for businesses to earn more profit. They justify price increases by pointing to inflation while the wage increase becomes inelastic by comparison.

Is it?

Except that nominal interest rates adjust upwards, so no, it’s not taxing anything

​@@programking655 no, he's right. It's free money for the Fed. It's not backed by anything. They artificially inflate or deflate interest rates. All in the name of making money off the average American. It's a tax no matter how you look at it.

Ad infinitum, ad nauseam, never EVER learning from their mistakes.

Ad infinitum… until the currency collapses.

And yet we don’t reconsider something else

Hopefullyl youre holding some BTC

Well the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward and such impeccable decisions are better guided by professionals

Yes true, I have been in touch with a financial advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.

I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?

There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Nicole Desiree Simon , and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her

Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.

go to Edward G Griffin for that

In 9 minutes? This was a total propaganda piece. Wall Street and the Fed are two sides of the same coin and with this being a Wall Street Journal piece go figure. The presidents and Congress are beholden to the Fed not the other way around. The Fed is the real mafia and the CIA is their intelligence arm. At it's establishment in 1914 on the eve of WWI, you could say that was the official coup of the United States of America. Both world wars were their doing. And not only the oil of the middle east was their goal but esp the chemical industry of Germany that brought us into the modern petrochemical world post WWII. Plus the extinguishing of socialism in Russia and Germany that gave fire to our labor revolts in the early twentieth century. And all of this has been accomplished going forward with the establishment of the Breton Woods financial instruments like the IMF and World Bank that allowed the U.S. to convert all the colonies of Britain, France, etc into financial colonies and the takeover of their industries and raw resources thru debt ridden structural adjustment loans and CIA coups. All Wars are Banker's Wars is a short half hour doc that gives some history here. I think the other commenter above suggested another. Predator Nation is an essential book to check out, by the author/director of the best documentary out there on the subprime mortgage crisis but who also details the fifty year takeover of our economy via the financial crises that have littered every decade since Nixon took us off the gold standard and the Fed began it's rise again following the New Deal and Glass Steagall legislation during the great depression that separated wall street from banking. The savings and loan crises of the 80s, the mergers and acquisition and hostile takeover phase that followed, and all the creative, ie manipulative financial instruments that each crisis gave them more money and subsequent power to destroy the regulatory laws that kept them in check, leading to the dissolving of glass steagall end of 1990s and onward onto the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. Frank Dodd was essentially written by them and had allowed for the rise of Black Rock and Vanguard and other private equity firms and all the qualitative easing that's ensued thus which is really about privatizing not only our economy but the rest of the world's too via all these wars which are being paid for with printed money. We don't have a real economy anymore. Wars aren't sustainable, the sickness industry isn't sustainable and most factories have been farmed out to other countries to be able to exploit their cheap labor and lax pollution laws, etc, that their ability to bring us under total control in order to bring about their next grand war will be as easy as flicking the first domino piece and it all falling into place for them. They hate riots and protests when they orchestrate these ugly wars and takeovers so they're doing everything possible to thwart every natural movement before it has a chance to turn into a real flame of an uproar.

The perfect comment

Laisser-faire no more.

got together should be replaced with took a train in secret to jekyll island to craft it, then passed the legislation also in secret when most people were enjoying christmas and new years.

Yes

U actually believe that?

here is my problem I have been making losses trying to make trade. I thought to trade demo is just like the real..can anyone help me out or at least tell me on what to do.

I always advice new members to have an orientation on how it works before getting involved. Trade offers more benefits than just holding.

Kate Floretta Face book

having a mentor is also very important when it comes to Trade, with out that, it can be very frustrating.

you must have these things in mind 1. Have a long term mindset. 2. Be willing to take *risk*. 3. Be careful, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending. 4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with an assistant.

No, that is part of the broken system of capitalism. The Fed is just a puppet attempting to 'control' inflation and interest rates, while realistically, these things are not controllable.

What are you talking about? "If the fed never lets things fail and prices go down then inflation will continue" ??? Thats called DEFLATION

Deflation is bad actually

Recessions aren't necessary, they're just the product of the current system

You want deflation? Every country has a target of 2% inflation , now that inflation is coming down most prices will not come down, governments were to slow imo to increase interest and stop “the bleeding”. My country right now has inflation of 3,4%, the only prices that come down was petrol/diesel, essential products because the government changed vat from 6% to 0%,electricity I think is predicted to come down but nothing more, mortages on loans of 150K€ increased 200€,we have a housing crisis because we need immigration but there not enough houses do to the previous financial crisis, my government right now has more money than ever before but the tax burden is the highest it ever been, but people are worst off

Even though there will probably be more pain in the future, investors should look for stocks like Royal Philips NV and Alstom SA that have been sufficiently battered down to be a bargain or get a great portfolio manager.

That's why I'm creating more income streams that I have complete control over. These will take me places that my day job never could. The earlier you start investing your money and putting it to work, the more time compound interest has to work its magic on your portfolio. This is how I'm going to achieve early retirement and it's possible for everyone. understand , know the path needed and stay committed to the craft

@@theresahv How are we going to achieve all that given that the market has being a mess most of the year seems farfetched. I keep hearing that the market is pricing in a 60% probability of a 75 hike. But isn’t it also pricing in a dovish fed that’s going to pívot relatively quickly?

My advisor Julie Anne Hoover’is highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. 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.

@@theresahv Thank you for this tip , I must say, Julie Anne Hoover appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her online page, I thoroughly went through her resume, educational background, and qualifications, and I must say, it was quite impressive. I reached out to her, and I have booked a session with her.

I would avoid index funds, mutual funds, and specific stocks for the time being. Right now, the best option is a fixed income of five percent. Put money aside for the times when the market really starts to bounce back.

45% of Americans do not invest in the stock market because of lack of guidance. Every year you don't invest, you are falling behind. I’m hitting numbers in the stock market I used to dream of… Going from $50k to $600k in my portfolio is surreal all thanks to insights from my financial advisor.

It appears that your investment advisor is highly skilled. Could you please let me know if you are still in contact with this advisor and, if so, how?

Finding financial advisors like ‘vivian jean wilhelm’ 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.

Thanks for sharing, I just liquidated some of my funds to invest in the stock market, I will need every help I can get.

How to find him.

@@NguyenThanh-in7gf If you need a broker recommendation, I recommend Dan Price C FA.

@@NguyenThanh-in7gf You can find him online and I have learned a lot from him.

I had the pleasure of meeting the advisor, Mr. Dan Price. His expertise as an investment mentor is outstanding. With his guidance, I was able to successfully achieve my investment goals. I truly appreciate his help and support! I look forward to continuing to work with him for more investment success!

You literaly paid for propaganda, and got upset that they stopped sending propaganda

It's not informative, it's propaganda

Just ''buy the dip'' man. In the long term it will payoff. High interest rates usually mean lower stock prices, however investors should be cautious of the bull run, its best you connect with a well-qualified adviser to meet your growth goals and avoid blunder

Very true, you can be passively involved in the markets and still amass wealth-gains using an investment advisor. I first dabbled in stocks late 2019, just before the pandemic, and that same year gained over 150% with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was following directions of my advisor. We are working on a retirement ballpark of $3m and I’m certain my goal isn’t farfetched after subsequent investments and tremendous returns so far.

My portfolio has been in the gutter for the entire year, so I started researching new ways to profit in the market, but everything I tried just seemed to miss the mark. Please let us know the name of your financial advisor.

Credits goes to " Sonya lee Mitchell" one of the finest portfolio managers in the field. She's widely recognized; you should take a look at her work.

I get what you are saying but 90% of HELOC, commercial lines, and loans are tied to the prime rate which is fed funds +3, so when the fed changes that rate all those loans follow. That's a huge influence and everything else would be priced and correlated to that. Good old supply and demand.

@@cbatchlerno actually most mortgages, corporate debt and to a lesser extent home mortgages are tied to the 10 yr Treasury rate. You are correct on the +3%. If you look at the current 10 year and add 3% you are at the national average of roughly 7% give or take..

@@Adam_The_Archivist Not really, what you are saying is the correlation or spread of two different loan products. If that were true then why do I have a 3.25% mortgage in Oct of 2016 when the 10-year was at 1.7%? That would suggest my mortgage should be 4.7% and not 3.25%, Right? Think of it this way, on a highway the speed limit is 55 MPH but most cars are going 60, some going 65-70 and some 75 MPH. Those cars are willing to take the risk of going faster just as investors are willing to pay different rates for different products and as speed limits change so does their speed. So the loans aren't tied to the 10-year Treasury, that is just a frame of reference to compare other loan rates too. I have a commercial line of credit with Key Bank and it says the rate is 6 points plus the prime rate, it doesn't say anything about the 10-year US Treasury in its pricing model, nor have I ever seen a loan price itself to the 10 year. Hence the Fed sets the line and every one prices and moves around that line and then supply and demand sets in just like a speed limit.

Historically that's true. But at this point their balance sheet is so huge that they pretty much do control the bond market. If they unloaded all their mortgage backed securities at once then long term rates would spike. Or they could drop rates to 2% by printing money and buying mortgage backed securities like they did in 2020. They don't operate according to the economics textbooks anymore. Things changed in 2008.

They can affect much more if they wanted

finally, someone with a brain. 💀

On point. Only buerocrats can do a job so terribly for decades and still exist. I hear the central banks in Argentina and Lebanon are doing well though😂🤦

Yes, that's mainly what keeps the US afloat. Import wares, export investments and USD debt

@@tomlxyz it’s also to keep their own currency devalued, making their exports more attractive. Also US financial markets is arguable the best in the world to invest their profits.

@@Pyrrhic.maybe their currencies are so devaluated that even they dont want to hold them :v

Your claim makes no sense since Tbills are short-term government debt instruments without any interest rate, but instead purchased at a discount.

The Feds dont even control the Federal Reserve

That isn't the problem, it's the cover story.

US has not seen high inflation in decades. Inflation we see today is most because of COVID disruptions, federal government spending on PPP loans & writing checks to people during COVID, & supply chain disruptions.

@@gund89123 Inflation is a monetary phenomenon where too much money is chasing too few goods and services. And its almost always a consequence of government action.

Even better would be to get the government out of the system. Under free banking in the us we had near zero inflation and laissez-faire banking is much more stable. Central planning is terrible as the fed has shown.

@@teEnTYoNG either you didn't watch or didn't understand the video

It started with Greenspan to be honest

Nobody created as much money as the current Fed.

It’s built to fail. A debt based system is not sustainable.

I agree, but they won't do that because in the current state of affairs Treasuries would plummet and interest rates would be much higher. If the Fed weren't there to buy these bonds then the federal govt., and states would actually have to practice fiscal discipline; nobody wants that.

Because the US gov went bankrupt to the collective entity we now call the Fed back in 1912. Then US gov entered into an agreement with the Fed which remains in effect to this day. Even if the debt was paid in full - which I'm not sure will ever be possible - US gov will be right back where it was in 1933: having zero capitol by which to conduct its affairs. At which point I'm sure the Fed would be more than happy to renew the contract with US gov to begin renting Federal Reserve Notes into circulation once more..

Doesn’t matter in reality. Any profits from the Fed get turned over to the Treasury so in reality the federal government borrows money from the Fed for free. Fed also does what it’s told otherwise Congress would write a new law to end the Fed.

So Republicans?

BACK THE BLUE. Let the IRS do their jobs. I have nothing to hide. Nothing to fear. Are you guilty?

Taxation without representation is different than taxation with representation.

@@KingPhoey I, for one, do not feel particulary represented by any part of out government. Do you?

@@greg4367yes because you can vote

Who’s going to pay for military? Who’s going to invest in infrastructure? Who’s going to bail out states with low revenue? Most states would file for bankruptcy if they don’t receive federal funds.

It's actually the department of treasury that coins the money

​@@fanniinnanetguy653The Treasurey has nothing more to do with it outside of filling out loan requests to the Federal Reserve which is a private bank that operates outside of rhe government for profit. That profit is the interest on every single dollar that has every entered circulation physicaly or within digital accounts.

Actually it's a private bank

@@skycaptain95 The answer is both. While the Board of Governors is an independent government agency, the Federal Reserve Banks are set up like private corporations. Member banks hold stock in the Federal Reserve Banks and earn dividends. So the Public part are the governors appointed by congress whom are elected officials! Simple google search informs all!!👍
