As far as investment strategies, so many varieties exist, all I'll say is Good Luck in picking a winning strategy. The old staples of; fundamentals, buy and hold, invest for the long-term, and, the most important "diversification" not keeping all your eggs in one basket, do apply.
Played the market for a couple of decades, win some, lose some, over the course of time about broke even, slightly positive but the cost of the trades and taxes put me slightly negative. Mad money so of no consequence. It's really just too damn much work to be a "trader" - due diligence on the thousands of possible investment vehicles - forget about it.
Today my portfolios are under the control of an active investment brokerage firm using their conservative retirement strategy. The investment broker employs dozens of analysts and God only knows what they use as triggers. A gross overview of my portfolios diversification provides roughly a third in each of cash, bonds and equities. Over the past twenty years this trading platform has provided myself returns averaging 6-8% per annum. Very satisfactory performance in my eyes.
And the best part - I can ignore it entirely.
ahh yes, just sittin' pretty and lovin' the life :) amen and hallelujah
Good morning fellas, should be another crazy day. As for paying people to make decisions on my financial future I don't. As for advice ( and I've never used one) they say it's best to trust a fee only not % type bone thrower. 6% ain't bad but I have enough mouths to feed.
Best of luck, gotta run.

Indeed that is the best part. My assets are mostly real estate. I will admit that I lucked into them thanks to my grandfather but they are far more valuable than the investments I created for myself through my own work efforts thanks to Seattle being an explosive real estate market over the last twenty years. I basically just run a property management biz and these properties generate substantial revenue. A big reason why I only work part time doing consultancy work. I am very cheap and do not even allow myself the luxury of a new car. I sock it all away.Quote:

Pretty well known that I cancelled it over two years ago when Tesla delayed delivery of the base model that I had ordered.Quote:

from the advices of the medical professionals it would seem that rubber gloves would be the prophylactic best stocked up on
I thought the wife was in a pretty safe place, being up in the sticks of Isaan. However, she has heard rumours of a couple returning from Korea being pretty sick and refusing to go to the hospital. That's in the market town about 20km away. Lots of villagers calling for them to go to the hospital so they'll either go or be lynched by morning. If they are infected then it won't take long before it has spread around the province...
===========
She has stocked up on baby food and pampers...the adults can look after themselves.
In a place where people often sit in circles eating with their fingers and sharing the same dish I'd opt for the rubber gloves. There are those on the board that could use the pampers though.
Good luck with it.

Rubber gloves are probably better protection against the CV than masks, but keep it to yourself you don't want people to think they may have been misled by their glorious leaders.Quote:

They only go for check ups on and off, those can wait.
ONLY if u dont touch ur face with the gloves on :smileylaughing:Quote:

No need to stock up here. All we need we grow or raise but I may run over to Makro and stock up on tortillas and corn chips. :)
Not rumor. A fact.Quote:

Just wondering if it is the same story or another one.

Do you believe the central banks cutting interest rates, it seems to their tool of choice, will succeed?Quote:

That financial smoke and mirrors utilised previously, will fail.
