    1. My spouse and I are adding a variety of stocks/ETF to my present holdings for the long term, We've set aside $250k to start following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, I believe it is a good time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains, but it wouldn't hurt to know means of actualizing short term profit.

    2. Amazing content, You remain the best!! It's been a year since I found ways to improve my finances and by working with a renowned professional, I was able to attain financial independence. I have to say this ; “As long as you are determined and work hard, you can achieve whatever you place your mind on.”

    3. I agree with Warren Buffet. A blend of different ETFs is my favorite way of investing. For example, you could have some covered call etfs for dividends and other etf`s for growth. A combination such as : JEPI , DIVO , QYLD, SCHD and JEPQ. You have to combine them according to your own personal situation. I tallied my dividends for the previous year; $102k. Blessed, grateful, disciplined and focused.

    4. I watch several YouTube videos on how to trade in the stock market but haven't made any head start because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands

    5. I’ve had majority of my holdings in tech stocks and I've had 25% increase in my portfolio, especially with Apple’s P/E (price to earnings ratio) but with much uncertainty now, my question is what stocks can be the next APPL in terms of growth for the next decade?

    6. Engaging in an individual market option is fair but its performance level can’t guarantee high dividends. Diversification is the secret to optimal performance and for this reason i have my interest set on options based on projected growth and performance.

    7. Rather of relying on penny stocks, I wish to diversify my assets by investing in ETFs/index funds/mutual funds and stocks of corporations with stable cash flows. I received $400k from the selling of my property. What should I do?

    8. My portfolio has good companies, however it has been declining since last year. I have lost over 30% of my $600K portfolio in the stock market and i'm looking to recoup. How do i turn the tide around?

    9. Buying a ETFs is easy, but buying the right one without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $260K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies.

    10. HOW PAINFUL I HAVE INCURRED SO MUCH LOSSES TRADING ON MY OWN…I TRADE WELL ON DEMO BUT I THINK THE REAL MARKET IS MANIPULATED… CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG ?

    11. Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets 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…

    12. The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.

    13. As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.

    14. To enhance our long-term investment mix, my partner and I are introducing a range of stocks and ETFs. We've committed $220k initially, with a particular emphasis on inflation-protected bonds and businesses demonstrating robust cash flows. I see potential for enduring growth in the current market, yet I'm also keen to explore strategies for generating short-term gains.

    15. Putting well-earned money into the stock market can’t be over emphasized for first – time investors, unlike a bank where interest is sure thing! Well, basically times are uncertain, the market is out of control, and banks are gradually failing. I am working on a ballpark estimate of $5M for retirement, and I have a good 6-figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity for a boomer like me? I'm nearly 60.

    18. While my portfolio consists of reputable companies, it has experienced a lack of growth this year. Given the current inflation and depreciation of the dollar, I recently withdrew my funds from the bank. I allocated some of these funds into investments in gold and silver. Currently, I have around $560,000 sitting idle in my reserves that I am seeking to increase. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to enhance the growth of my portfolio.
