      As someone who teaches high school, they’d have to care first. 11th graders have no money of their own (usually) and thus have no reason to care when great information is in front of them. They won’t pay attention until it affects them, or they have jobs of their own. The apathy is off the charts no matter how riveting or valuable the content is.

    Federal Reserve may soon lose control of interest rates, claims Heresy Financial. This comes as a result of the United States government's intention to embark on a $1 trillion borrowing spree. This might cause the banking sector to lose so much liquidity that rates spiral out of control and are no longer in the control by the federal reserve. I'm sorry to say that despite investing, I lack the mental capacity to evaluate each company's performance and decide whether or not now is a good moment to acquire stocks. My reserve of $650K is being wiped out by inflation and the recession. Sincerely, I have no idea what to do.

      If you’re investing for the long term, a looming correction or recession shouldn’t panic you. As a rookie you may want to consider buying recession-friendly sectors such as consumer staples, utilities and healthcare. Stocks that have been paying a dividend for many years are also a good choice. These tend to be long-established companies that can withstand a downturn.

Likewise I have some managed rrsps from a few places that I dont plan on adjusting contributions to.

    Nice to have someone actually explain instead of fear monger about the market crashing and to sell everything in the headline. I have personally been investing pretty aggressively in the stock market this year. I am in my mid 20's and I see no reason why I should not be able to weather this storm even if it takes a while to make my money back. As long as I have decent savings for any emergency no reason not to weather the storm especially since I mainly invest in the general market and not specific sectors. I am thinking of slowing down some next year though and focusing more on paying down my debts so if anything bad were to happen with my situation I would not need as much money just to survive.

Then March 2020 came around, and I saw the crash I was waiting for, and wondered if I should have made the move. But the 10 best days thing is pretty compelling to me, and I realized that once that crash happened, I might have been constantly second-guessing myself on the right time to go back into the market, adding much unneeded stress to my life.

Doesn't make much sense to sell. But also it's not the time to go wild with buying either, it'll likely just keep dipping lower. If anything, depending on your cash reserves, your tolerance and your conviction and sticking to the understanding of the fundamentals -- determine whether you should buy a little bit more. I personally have been buying more at every 7% drop. Just a smidgen here and there. Because just as we've seen time after time - the market eventually recovers. Even in the famed 2008 crash, we recovered.

      I started earning well and not taking so many months off between jobs and are in a great position. As a 41 year old, I CLEARLY CLEARLY remember all the signs and economic gut feelings so hope to be able to predict kinda accurately when the bottom will come and invest heavily in mining stocks. They run pretty far in advance because they are the kinda stuff ordered 6 months or more in advance of future expected usage of materials. Get a few up and coming lithium stocks that already have mines running or near completion. And probably mostly some blue chips paying good dividends initially and then any ongoing earnings (I always work 60+ hour weeks in recessions somehow) into the younger lithium stocks.

    @ThePlainBagel thanks for the video, it's quite useful. Btw, what about making video on what does risk tolerance actually mean for an individual investor? E.g. to cover questions like
    how risky it's to invest into a 1 specific industry (e.g. big tech), and how to diversify this risk, what are the risks of investing in S&P500 ETF, etc.
    It can be really beneficial I believe, especially for me.

      Bonds weren't spared this past year (generally speaking -- there are some money market instruments that are risk-free apart from opportunity cost), but I agree that bonds aren't discussed on RUclips as much as they should be. Probably not all that sexy to this new class of retail investor (i.e. speculator in the 0DTE options casino), but hopefully them getting eviscerated should reign in some of the lunacy and get people thinking more of the compounding power of yields over the long term.

    I dipped my toes into investing for the first time in 2018 and selected a Fund investing in expanding the renewable energy production in Europe. One year later, they closed the fund for new investment because of "long term uncertainties regarding liquidity of the fund". In addition, the fund was migrated from one country to another because of tax law-reasons costing every investor a bit of their investment... that caused a whopping 1.2 % return (if I remember correctly) for the years 2019-2022. I was kind of "meh" at that point, but had invested in a few extra funds in the mean time. Then 2022 hit, war in Ukraine, Europe needed renewable energy, energy prices went through the roof, the fund was therefore able to open it up for new investments and the fund increased by about 100% in value.
    Kind of the thing that I learned: Does not matter what happens, as a private investor you can only play the long game, really. Make some decisions that make sense for long term investments. Even during a recession some positions can gain a lot value very quickly.
    Short mention for a complete picture: Even with a +100% position, I am down 7% this year over all my investments... lol

      Well said. Unless you're going to invest in the equipment and time for a massive amount of research, my suggestion for beginner investors is to use prediversified funds and like you said, play the long game and don't panic. Patrick Boyle suggested not to check them to regularly because you can be motivated to make a poor decision in a downturn. As an aside, I had one stock that had big growth because the co was bought out by a bigger corp. This is far from common though.

    • @MrRecorder1
      @MrRecorder1 Год назад

      @@rcbarrientos6109 Sure, I will put some reference in: Look up NL0013908692 (a Dutch fund, Netherlands)... and now actually that I look at it, it only maxed out at about +70% for this year, so I exaggerated a bit. Explosion happened in June/July. Sorry for the misleading +100% earlier, it is the my only fund that gained any value this year, and I was mostly remembering "big gains", and using this to underline the perceived randomness of the fund returns. So the exact value of the gain was not so important for my argument, and therefore I did not double check it!

    What can I research to feel confident that dollar cost averaging in the S&P 500 index is going to give me a good return in the long run without just looking at the performance history of it? I am asking this because I've just finished reading the big short and I think the mistake that investors did was rely on past performance history and rating agencies and also not knowing what they're buying. Is it that I should be calculating the intrinsic value of each company in the S&P and making sure that the prices of stocks inside the S&P 500 are not inflated because they are in the most famous index there is?

    • @silversoul5285
      @silversoul5285 Год назад +2

      Obviously, I'm not plain bagel, but my suggestion would be to adopt a mindset that is somewhat anti-hype without necessarily being contrarian when you form an opinion about a stock. When it comes to hearing an idea you think sounds nice, you're primary focus should be about digging into the company's financials. This is the lifeblood of all businesses and its key to know if one is healthy as, if they not making money, they certainly aren't going to make you money.
      So why do financials matter? The 10K is the one of the most comprehensive documents you can read about a company, it summaries cash flows, top line revenue, debt etc. Most can be found on the SEC site or in investor relations on the company web page. It will take some practice to read, but there a many guides online and you don't need to memorise the minutiae of the document. Once you've looked through, its best to have some thesis on why you think the company is worth owning. Try to come up with some weak points and see if what you've learned from the financials is robust enough to weather that weakness. Conviction is then necessary to hold whatever you buy, as stocks typically just rocket up in price unless some very unique circumstance occurs (Such things are hard to predict so it's not worth your peace of mind stressing over it). Understand that stocks go down sometimes. That shouldn't be your focus. You should focus on whether the company is profitable and can continue to be so. If not, find out why and whether they can realistically fix this. I find Cameron Stewart's videos quite helpful, but many other sources are fine.
      I hope that was somewhat useful, I only answered in case Bagel didn't see it among the mountain of comments and because he doesn't really do stock pick advice for understandable reasons.

    What is the best thing? DCA into high quality businesses. I see it as a sale on investments. Everytime one of my favorite stocks or funds moves below the 50 day moving average I add even more at least monthly. It is a great accumulation phase. Terrible sell phase.

      I agree with you !!! I just crossed 1 Mil Profit. 45,000% account growth in 1.4 years. Investing in equities has always required riding out the ups and downs. So when fear is high, it may be time to be contrarian: investors should consider it an opportunity to not only stay invested, but to also buy while prices are depressed.

    If you’re that worried about a correction or a bear market, that’s probably a sign your overall allocation is too aggressive. Build up more of an emergency fund or move some of your investments to bonds or commodities full-time. Sure your upswings won’t be as big, but you’ll have the resources to ride out a downturn.
    Waiting comes at a cost too. According to research by Elm Partners, even when starting from an expensive market, the odds of correctly predicting a correction within the next _3 years_ are a little better than a coin flip (56%). When the predictor is correct they save themselves about 10% of losses, but when they’re wrong they miss out on the gains the market made during that time, an average of 30%. That means on average waiting for the dip means 8% missed gains.

    So glad there’s some ACTUAL finance people on RUclips putting out good info. Anyone who is still following real estate people need to GET OUT! People like meetKevin, graham Stephan, etc are absolutely not financial advisors in any way, they got rich and play around with their money and then act like they’re finance gurus when they earned their money in a completely different way
