I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

Numerous opportunities exist to achieve substantial profits at present, but executing high-volume and nearly flawless trades requires the expertise of real-time professionals with an ISDA Agreement. This agreement allows investors to participate in sophisticated trades, exclusive to seasoned individuals, and unavailable to amateurs. Attempting to be a high-stakes trader without an ISDA is akin to trying to win the Indy 500 riding a llama.

I’m sure the idea of an invstment-Adviser might sound controversial to a few, but a new study by Motley-fool found out that demand for Financial-Advisers sky-rocketed by over 42% since the pandemic and based on firsthand encounter I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch.

Recently bought some recommended stocks and now they are just penny stocks. There seems to be more negative portfolios in the last 3rd half of 2024 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy.

Almost 50% of gold is used for jewellery which is not a use case as jewellery is subjective.
So the federal reserve has been charging us an extra 2% tax yearly and now taxes us over 10% on top of income taxes. Nice
Peter, please make a short video that crushes the corporate greed causes inflation argument so we can share it with people.
23:40 copper is a better conductor of electricity than gold. silver is the best, then copper, then gold. gold just doesnt oxidize, while copper and silver do, so gold wiring maintains conductivity better than copper or even silver do.

Peter, point of correction. Copper is actually a better conductor of electricity than gold. In fact copper is the second best conductor after only silver. The reason gold is preferred in many electronics is because it doesn't corrode. Because gold is expensive, manufacturers tend to gold-plate their electronics rather than use solid gold.

I look forward to seeing the value of a pre-82 Lincoln Cent reach 5 cents, but then I know how much worse the economic conditions will be when it does. Junk copper pennies will sell years later the same way pre-64 junk silver is sold, current spot is currently 3x face value, eventually to 5x to 10x fv thanks to inflation.

A historical note here. Alexander Hamilton, or first secretary of the treasury, saved the United States from bankrupcy and financial collapse by persuading Congree to enact tariffs. Over the next forty years , the United States succeeded in paying off every penny of our national debt with this one tax. Much of this debbt was owed to France, who had oaid fir the American Revolution because the United States pre-constiution Continental Congress refused to appropriate even one enny to pay for its own revolution . Instead, it just printed up paper money to pay for everything, leading to the phrase, "not worth a continental." However, once Hamilton allowed people to trade in their Continentals for gold or silver coins produced by the newly established national mint. So it turned out that those who held on to their Continentals (many people did not), found out that they were worth something after all. If we had someone of Alexander Hamilton's moral calibre and grasp of economic principles to serve as out Secretary of the Treasury or Federal Reserve chairmaan. The U.s> economy would be doing fine. Finance d soloely by Tariffs and massive spending cuts. Of course, this is a phantasy. There is no one with Hamilton's genius around in our current crop of economists and bankers.

Hamilton was a central banker and the tariffs were supposed to be temporary “to establish fledgling industries” but as you can see it’s a permanent fixture. He knew what he was doing by enslaving the country to central banks. Doubtful he unilaterally “saved the country” because as the last 60 or 70 years shows us is that “deficits don’t matter”. When Jackson won the bank war that was the only period of relativity free banking in this country. They shut down as a result.

So, tariffs are smart taxes unlike corporate taxes.
Henke would say “stop looking in your crystal ball Peter! You’re not saying nice things about our country.” 😂
When the US buyer imports goods subject to tariffs from China, they pay the tariff to the US government. This cost and any markup are typically passed on to the end consumer, meaning consumers ultimately bear the burden of tariffs through higher prices. The Chinese seller, however, does not directly pay the tariff; the importer in the US bears that responsibility. China does not suffer the consequences of tariffs. The US consumers are being punished by having to pay higher prices. In 2012, President Obama, as part of his plan to double the U.S. share of the world's solar panels from 5% to 10%, imposed tariffs of up to 249% on solar imports from China. In response, China retaliated by imposing import restrictions on polysilicon from the U.S. At the time, the U.S. held a 50% share of the global polysilicon market, but this has since dropped to under 5%. China has promised to retaliate just as strongly in response to any new tariffs.
