Back last year when Oil was tumbling down and down, I made a little over $1000 with leverage (my account size was only around $800).

    Having spent the last 50 years building my portfolio from surplus income my average return is 13.25% over that time. 2022 was a howler when I was down 22% but returns are not assured and I enjoyed uplift of 20% in 2023. Looking back, the spectacular returns (and falls) were at the point when I started - a few holdings went bust and others rose 10 fold. There is ONE holding that I continue to include in my portfolio (much reduced numbers now) is Shell, my first investment (I hold my original shares) bought in 1979.
    If there is any secret, I suggest that investors should not be in a hurry to buy as investing is not a race, not even a marathon, it is an education in the art of discretion.

    200 year stock return average with dividends re invested for at least most of that period is around 7.7% a year, bonds 4% a year. Thats before inflation (3%) taxes on the dividends, management fees, and capital gains tax if cashing out.

      In this case, the world really has changed, especially for bonds. Without a HUGE change in bond rates (either going way below 0, which makes capital gains, or rising to 6 %, which would generate net real returns), there is no possibility of earning positive real returns with bonds. It may seem absurd, but in fact the logical thing to do is to swap bonds for Bitcoin. You cannot get real returns without risk, so all the assets need to be risk on, unless you are very close to retirement.

      Wtf, Bitcoin. 😂 yeah swap your 80k in bonds to bitcoin. People that hold bonds tend to be close to retirement. Great advice tell people who need the money soon to put there money into something that could collapse to literally nothing tomorrow

      @@legoledgend I suppose I should clarify for anyone young or middle aged that can handle market volatility. THOSE people don't really get anything from a bond allocation. There is no point to holding bonds, UNLESS you need to spend the money very soon. My preferred strategy is to have more savings than others advise, so you can live off the dividends alone, without hitting principle. You can lend Bitcoin for a 4.7 % yield (celsius), which is better than almost any stock, so its actually not that bad as a bond replacement, ASSUMING you own enough to replace your income needs with the combined stock dividends + Bitcoin yield. In this world of near negative yields on bonds, I would be an aggressive saver, as there is no safe haven asset in this crazy world anymore.

      Bitcoin could well be at the very extreme of volatility, it could easily collapse and be worthless at any point and never be worth anything ever again. I can understand putting a very small amount into it though

      @@legoledgend The ZERO FUD comes up in every debate, but honestly, I don't see the case for Bitcoin going to zero, just from the current demand and the absolute cap on supply. If it got down to $1, me and 10 friends could buy up the entire supply, and we would. Things like companies can go chapter 7 and they are gone, Social Security could seem strong, until some capital rioters overthrow the government, and then its gone. Bitcoin is supported by hundereds of thousands of computers in every country, there is just no way it could go to zero, because its not under any state's control. Its not centralized, its like Napster vs torrents. Bitcoin is made to be as resilient as the internet, and I believe it is. Now could it go down 90 % ? Sure, and it has, many times in its past, and if you want to make the down 90 % arguement, I would agree, but not to zero, it has never gone to zero, because it really can't, and I think it never will.

    My account is down 60%. From the original deposit. I didn't know my own style, I didn't know how to read exit signals on trades and no understanding of macro factors affecting the market. I'm consistent now. I would make all those mistakes again simply because of how empowering being able to make money this way is. FYI, I financed the whole thing with money I could lose but high enough to make me feel good winning and bad losing.

    We've been in one of the longest bull markets in history, and it's almost always easy to look like you know what you're doing in a bull market. It's when the bear market comes that we need to be prepared. It's not sexy, but most of my investment money goes into the S&P 500, and some of it goes into an occasional stock pick. The small amount is because I love analyzing companies for what I think has potential for a good return. I've done pretty good on most of them -- we'll see how they handle the bear market. And there have been some that haven't done so well. I love the advice here. Investing is great for generating more wealth and preparing for retirement. But the process to get there typically involves making solid picks that will steadily grow over time (things like the S&P 500) and doing everything you can to save more money for investing after every paycheck.

    Investing is not meant to be easy, as the numbers get bigger compounding can be harder, I personally Aim for 20% per year (average) which is optimistic but I have achieved this the past 5 years. So feel privileged my research has paid off but I don't take it for granted. 👍😉🚀

    He said it again, he wasn't sure if the market would crash, though it is higher than history shows for.

    I totally agree with what you said on people flexing high returns from making 100$ into a Million dollar, sounds fishy but they only tend to gain high returns season to season and on a short term. No wonder they try to sell ridiculously expensive courses to make up for the losses and as a main source of income.

    Any Guru will confirm that it's easy to get 1% return on a daily basis. What they don't say is that it's just as easy to loose 9% on their other account they don't show you.

    one key point missing in this discussion is inflation ! in fact the long term inflation adjusted rate of return for S&P is not even 9.8% , it is about 7%
    in the coming years we may keep having higher returns on stock market but most probably higher inflation rate ( caused by the same reasons that push the stock market higher , e.g low interest rates and QE ) will cancel it out !
