Absolute BS Crap Reasonable Nice Amazing
 

If you have been invested in just the NASDAQ for the last three years, you have made 101%

If you have been invested in just the NASDAQ for the last three years, you have made 101%
Look at these three charts, if you need proof, and average the three big indices:

DOW for 2019-2021= 22.3 + 18.9 + 7.2 = 16.13%

S&P 500 2019-2021= 28.9 + 26.9 + 16.3 = 24.03%

NASDAQ 2019-2021= 35.2 + 43.6 + 22.3 = 101.1%

2019-2021= 141.43% average = 47.23%

If anyone wishes to double check me, feel free...

So I would like to once again introduce my theory of, for lack of a better term, the "Do something Syndrome"

Basically, my theory has proven correct and effective.

In the face of uncertainty in life, and here we are discussing economic uncertainty, people have the kneejerk reaction to "DO SOMETHING".

I have proven to myself over the course of 30+ years of investing, that the best strategy is to DO NOTHING...

If you pulled out of the market in the last three years, you lost out!

Investing is for the long term with the goal of never cashing out...You only take distributions, and let your portfolio grow into a monster!!

If you pull your money out of the market trying to time the prevention of a loss and then time the gains, to put the funds back in, you are not an investor...A gambler, but not an investor...

If you began the pandemic with 100k, you would have more than doubled your money 200k+ (being very conservative)

However, if you missed out on 10 of the largest days of growth in that time period, we calculated you would have lost $35,000, and have $165,000 remaining...

Remember, investing is making a loan, not "Here's a few grand, now give it back and hope some money sticks to it" LOL That is not an investment strategy, unless poverty is your goal...

Many of you have asked me to make an investment/money thread, so here you go, ask away...

Thats just how much the dollar was devalued in that time not money made but money retained. Just about everything is double what it was 3 years ago, so what have you gained? Nothing.

I cannot tell you what the market will do, but I can tell you that it has average 12% for over 100 years, including the "crash" of 1929...

At just 12% annually, you will double your money every 6.5 years. Doubling, looks like this, as you may not fully realize the exponential growth immediatly:

200,000 Initial investment:

6.5 years 400,000

13 years 800,000

19.5 years 1.6 million

But to better answer your question, Warren Buffet is sitting on 150 BILLION in CASH

There is a wall, a tsunami of cash out there waiting to invest...

Look at the last three years, it's TRICKLING in already...

If you had 10 million invested for example, and you doubled your money to 20 million, where in that equation does inflation matter? You are beyond inflation at this point in the game...

Correct, but I like to give conservative numbers...When you calculate your future at 12% and in reality our group makes 20% on average, you get a pleasant surprise...Basically this is the worst case scenario lol

The government is injecting cash for assets...

Why do banks get this cash?

How can a bank loan 1/2 a million dollars at 2% interest?

The FED subsidizes the loan...

The government subsidizes millions of products and services...

In that case, as a financial counselor, I could take their goals and then adjust their spending to include it...If they simply do not make enough money, it just depends on how much they are willing to sacrifice...Give up the house and move in with a relative to save up???

Re: If you have been invested in just the NASDAQ for the last three years, you have made 101%
Lets clear up what a market "crash" is and is not.

You are investing in businesses that hopefully are strong, like Microsoft working on three trillion dollars!

So if the market takes a dump, you still own the same amount of shares...Think of a "share" of stock as a single brick of the business you are investing in. The value of the brick went down, but not to zero...How could it become worthless?

Enron comes to mind, and that's why the first rule is to not buy individual stocks, but rather mutual funds...

The stock market is over 500 years old and has never crashed (to zero) and has ALWAYS come back with growth, at the 100+ year average of 12%...Our group averages 20%

Therefore, of you invest long term, it makes no difference if the market "crashes" because it always recovers with GROWTH.

And if it does crash to zero? Then money will be worthless anyway.

With rising inflation, that might put constraints on large businesses. People will not be spending as much. Therefore, profits may suffer. As a result, the NASDAQ may not preform well in 2022...

What do you think about Value Stocks in the sectors of Health Care, Financial Services, Industrials, and Consumer Defensive???

Holdings such as AIG, Equity Residential, Comcast Corp Class A, CVS health corp, and US Bancorp...

I also have holdings in the NASDAQ, but limiting my exposure...

Was also thinking about diversifying my investments and investing in Vanguard International Large - Blend. With holdings in companies from Japan, United Kingdom, Canada, France, and Switzerland...

No, what you must understand about the American people, and in general, is that no matter what they will spend every dollar they get their hands on, save nothing, and put the rest on credit card...and if they save, where, a bank? I have banks in my portfolio too...I am every where there is in the economy to catch a dollar...

Mutual funds only...no individual stocks in my portfolio

If a mutual fund has 80 companies in it...now you are buying 1/80 bricks at a time lol

try to calculate the odds of just 1/2 of those strong companies going bankrupt. Astronomical.

Now we buy them in all sectors of the economy, the four groups are:

Growth

Growth and Income

Aggressive Growth

International

Put 25% in each as you contribute each month.

Just this morning my mom said all she wants is for my Downs brother to be taken care of...He is

Then she said she doesn't want money (because she has always had it and never worked for it), so I said ok Mom, too fucking bad...She just sent back a heart smilie in the text lol

Why did it come up?

Dad just passed and she is making a safe 6%

I told her I guarantee 12% over the long term, but we average 20%

She's "thinking" about it

Bless you Mother
