- High inflation. Fear of recession. Disruptions, like the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. How did the U.S. economy get here? A two-hour documentary special traces the road to this moment, and the role of the Federal Reserve, the country’s central bank.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: www.pbs.org/donate.
FRONTLINE investigates the Fed’s epic economic experiment to revive the U.S. economy with what has been called an “easy money” policy and the far-reaching and sometimes unintended consequences.
“If we hadn't been driving our economy for 14 years with easy money and then tried to really quickly undo that now, we wouldn't be having these problems,” former top banking regulator Sheila Bair said in the documentary.
From the 2008 recession, to the COVID pandemic, to the rise in inflation, to the current economic uncertainty, “Age of Easy Money” charts the American economy’s tumultuous course, the fragility of the financial system and the widening gap between Wall Street and Main Street.
The documentary examines what led to the Fed’s recent decisions to hike interest rates at a historic pace and probes the ongoing effects, offering a comprehensive and timely examination of the role of the institution at the heart of America’s economy.
The documentary is supported by The WNET Group’s Chasing the Dream, a public media initiative that examines poverty, justice and economic opportunity in America.
The director, producer and correspondent of “Age of Easy Money” is James Jacoby. The producer is Anya Bourg. The senior producer is Frank Koughan. The editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE is Raney Aronson-Rath.

We love Frontline bro!
It’s amazing really. We have a financial crisis, caused by greedy, reckless financial institutions. Congress passes legislation requiring those institutions to be less greedy and reckless. The institutions then lobby to have those restrictions removed, usually in the name of “remaining competitive”. This leads to another financial crisis. It’s completely predictable, and we have been doing this dance since the Great Depression almost 100 years ago.
Agree; the rules should be applicable to all banks - big or small. First; very few meaningful laws are passed and then this cycle of doing-undoing seems to support deregulation risking the economy and the faith in banks.
I believe using an investing advisor is a terrific idea. In the midst of the 2008 financial crisis, I was literally experiencing horrible dreams before I spoke with an advisor. In conclusion, I was able to increase my initial investment from $320k to almost $2.5 million in 2011 with the aid of my advisor, and I later bought my first investment property.
Well, I've been researching advisors lately because the market news I've been seeing hasn't been that positive. Who is the individual who helped you, and is he or she still around?
Her name is “Vivian Carol Gioia ” can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like
I looked up her profile online since I was curious. I saw her website, her credentials, and how tight she came across. At first, I thought this was overblown nonsense.
I can’t believe nobody is talking about how incredible it is they have a whole 2 hour documentary already out just a few days after all these banks failed. I bet they were working on this before all that happened (I’m not sure I just started watching right now), but even if that’s the case the fact they were able to rush to include the stuff about the banks failing is incredible. Everyone who worked on this deserves a raise😂
Almost all documentary by FL
Bank failure most likely scripted… they already knew 🤫
It was predictable.
@@Ti5qu4ntum Probably started this documentary when Liz Warren warned us this was going to happen again in 2018. Plenty of time to compile B Roll footage and conduct interviews from like minded people in the profession.
it's built on interviews and reporting from an earlier frontline, from last year. that one was only about an hour and seemed quite preliminary -- seems Jacoby had a chance since then to finish his doc.
A recession is currently the "most likely consequence for the economy," and I cannot fathom becoming a victim of circumstances, with inflation at a four-decade high. In two years, I plan to retire, and my target retirement fund is $967,000. How can I assure this? What steps can I take?
My money was almost wiped out entirely in 2008. I took out my money and invested it with my wife's wealth manager. I haven't caught up to her profits over the years, but I do earn more. Haha
This is great. I started investing with a wealth manager in 2020, too. I hated myself for a long time because I didn't know I could do that. Funny how I have quit my day job, because my profits cover for every living expense.
That's quite impressive! I could really benefit from the expertise of these advisors; my portfolio has been performing poorly. Who is guiding you?
Monica Shawn Marti is the licensed coach I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I appreciate it. After searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed. I've contacted her as I could use all the help I can get. A call has been scheduled.
According to the New York Times, the average savings of a couple reaching retirement is $110k I’m closing in on my retirement and I’m under pressure to grow my reserve of $330k, despite the fact the capital gains you can make on growth stocks far outweigh dividend yields, and even in downtrends folks still pull off 6-7figures gains in months. surely the risk is much greater, but I’d love to know how.
I feel your pain, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me,I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $130k in passive diversified safe-haven assets, Up 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
I've been in the red for the past couple months, lost 12k last week alone, Indubitably I've got good companies but profit is still stalling, how did you go around finding an expert-advisor, I wouldn't mind looking yours up.
Lisa Ann Moberly'' turned out to be better and smarter than all the advisor I ever worked with till date, I’ve never met anyone with as much conviction.
Okay thanks for clearing that up, already went through her web-profile and it seemed pretty tight which is why I was worried her fees will cost a ton haha. thanks a bunch for sharing.
@@CarlAndrew-hv2fm should've just bought bitcoin,no need of advisors there
I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $50,000 in 2months . I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!
Congratulations you are really doing well, I'm 45 and my finance are in mess right now and great tip will really go along way in shaping my life im open for idea
Hey sorry for late response I apparently used the FIRE movement to put my finances in shape you can research more about it, then invest in crypto and stock the help of financial
Money invested is far better than money saved, when you invest it gives you an opportunity to increase your financial worth
It's remarkable how long term advantage people like us have gotten trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world , this is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies
With Market tumbling, Inflation Soaring, Is the stock market actually getting better or could this be the regular new year market manipulation to entice new investors? I'm currently sitting on $500k inheritance and just wondering what better assets than stocks to invest in right now
You need a certified financial planner straight up! personally, I would invest in etf and also love investing in individual stocks. yes it’s riskier but am comfortable in my financial environment
No doubt, having the right plan is invaluable, my portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 100% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, tho this could take till Q3 2024.
Amazing! I hope it's okay to inquire if you're still collaborating with the same fiduciary and how I can get in touch with them?
The decision on when to pick an Adviser is a very personal one. I take guidance from ''Melissa Maureen Ward'' to meet my growth goals and avoid mistakes, she's well-qualified and her page can be easily found on the net.
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
Thanks for the video. I finally established a way to increase my net income per month.
My 2024 goal is to pay off the house by Sept 2024 (8 years total into a 30 year @ 4%). I have no debt other than mortgage. My 401k, HSA, IRA and emergency funds get maxed out. The mortgage is my last piece of debt left. I don't have any school loan or CC debt. I've made a lot of sacrifices over the years. I'm almost at the debt free finish line.
TRUMP2024
I began my investment journey at the age of 38, primarily through hard work and dedication. Now at the age of 40, I am thrilled to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same.
was guided tho..Julia Hope Marble. walked me through the ropes majestically i'ts my ultimate pleasure.
I'm definitely gonna check her out. Do yo have any idea if she manages family fund?
Dividends are dope. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!
The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner
the best market strategy is to work with a credible investing coach. Since a while ago, I've been in touch with a coach, mostly because I lack the depth of understanding and mental toughness to deal with the ongoing market conditions. You lack the information necessary to succeed in a competitive market, not because you're doing anything wrong, but rather because of your lack of experience.
That's impressive! I could really use the expertise of this advisors, my portfolio has been down bad. how can I contact them?
'Lisa Angelique Abel' is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I looked up her full name online and found her page. I emailed and made an appointment to talk with her; hopefully, she gets back to me.
This is one of those documentaries you watch years after the fact but we are right in the middle of it.
Who didn't see it coming. You underdamp a control system and you'll get an overshoot on your setpoint (2% inflation). The question always was "when" not "how". At least mortgages are safe (for now).
@ Aldin😳 mortgages are outrageous right now
This is years after the fact. We've had easy money fpr 2 decades
@@aldin5930 I don't think it's accurate to believe that over 15 years of prior low rates would suddenly and randomly at a moments notice yield out of control inflation. Interest rates would have a gradual impact on inflation, and in fact, they only mentioned these low interest rates as a means of showing that they, along with FED stimulus packages/bailouts ONLY went on to serve the rich, whereas the middle class workers saw between zero and negative improvement. There's a variety of factors determining inflation right now.
And ya...housing is an absolute disaster. (I find that generally, the only people who enjoy the fact that housing prices are grossly overinflated, are generally the ones who own a home, and like the thought of seeing their personal assets increase in value.). It still doesn't change the fact that housing is more unattainable for working people than virtually ever before, and that prices have skyrocketed at a rate far beyond the market.
THE THIEVE'S HAVE GOT THEIR GOODS THIS ROUND🤫 it's time for the next round😛 the wealth income gap says it all🤫PURE THEFT🤬
You have to say this Frontline documentary is probably the most impeccable timing for a documentary in a very long time.
I was just thinking ... what timing ... "they warned us"
Almost as if they knew in advance exactly what was coming, and exactly when.
@@cynthiasutch9139 ffs man
I guess they got it all figured out. Which I f***** doubt.
XD I'm glad this documentary is early on attacking the so-called Federal Reserve. Haha.
One guy said the market is like little children, if you take away any of their candy, they throw a tantrum. One lady even brought up "dopamine hit" (which neuroscientist Andrew Huberman says doesn't exist, it's just an incorrect phrase).
Two-party puppet system, Trump included, especially him, another puppet (with all those bankruptcies, cheating construction workers, kept most of his jobs in China and Mexico against his promise of America having more jobs alongside his campaign gear Made in China, etc.).
Almost no one is trying to end the so-called Federal Reserve bank.
The Founding Fathers fought that foreign private money institution, kicked them out of America, and when they came back in the 1900s, they made debt notes. Quantitative easing, like I've mentioned recently. That encourages more risky spending, hurts savers, and makes more inflation.
In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.
If you need advice, consider speaking with a financial advisor. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.
That's impressive! I could really use the expertise of this manager for my dwindling portfolio. Who’s the professional guiding you?
Thanks for sharing this. I curiously searched for her full name and her website came up top search. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her. Once again many thanks
@@alexyoung3126 second this but make sure they are fiduciary or you run the risk of them not completely working for you 🩷
To play safe and preserve, buy US treasury. Two years maturity has 5% rate at least. Go back to the market when the cloud and dust is all cleared.
I’d be retiring or working less in 5 years, and considering this financial recession, I’m curious to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments, I earn around $200K per year but not enough to show for it yet.
Do you have a 401k? you should contribute to your retirement diligently, or better still look into financial planning
Very true, I find myself lucky enough exposed to money management at an early age. Worked full time when I was 19, purchased first home at 28, fast forward time... I'm 50 now, got laid off March 2020 amidst lockdown, a blessing in disguise. At once, I consulted an advisor to stay afloat and with subsequent investments, I'm only 15% short of $1m as of today.
this is huge! would love to grow my reserve regardless of the economy situation, my 401k has lost everything accrued since early 2019, at this point, i'm in need of guidance, can you point me?
‘Debra Ella Nicholas’ oversees my portfolio, simply do your due diligence. She's an extremely intelligent person, very thoughtful, cautious, and shows a great deal of expertise with over a decade of experience in her line of work.
Debra appears to be a true authority in this field. Checked out her page on the net, went through her profile and I can say she's superb.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated to lawmakers on Thursday that the central bank expects to raise interest rates one or two more times this year, but at a slower pace to avoid tipping the economy into recession, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $138k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of the market?
Chose quality stocks and follow them up. If you're not one for such complexities, seek a Financial advisor to guide you
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a broker, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%.
I need a guide so i can salvage my port-folio and come up with better strategies. How can one reach this advisor?
She actually appears to be well-read and educated. I just did a Google search for her name and found her webpage, I appreciate you sharing
Reading about how y'all are worried about your "portfolios" makes me want to throw up. What about those of us who were already living paycheck to paycheck even before the stupid response to what was essentially a bad cold or flu? I'm a 53 year old hairstylist and make $40k a year. I have no "portfolio", no savings. The salon I worked at for the past six and a half years went out of business five months ago because it never fully recovered from the COVID lockdowns. Thankfully, I found a job at another salon within a week. But just know, there's plenty of us who will never have to worry about our "portfolios". We're too busy worrying about how we're going to buy food after we pay our bills and buy gas to get to our jobs.
In 2008 I worked for the law firm that brought down Lehman Brothers. I so wish I had a time machine to see exactly what that meant at the time. The next year, I lost: my savings (I worked my lifetime for that), my tiny home, my job through downsizing, and my boyfriend left. Hundreds of people at my firm lost their jobs. I had a nervous breakdown. I took out my remaining money and put it into a credit union. The life I thought I was going to have in retirement went down the drain. I found out I am stronger than I could ever imagine.
Don’t give up hope. I lost everything too. The future you will regain and have loyal people.
Good for you. Keep pushing! I've had to restart my life multiple times over now. But you definitely find out what you're made of and how strong you are, especially in this greedy world. People forget time is more expensive than money. Dont waste it
😅Mmmmmmmmmmm😅mmm😅 mình 😅😅😅😅
That's why I hope time traveling machines will be available soon 🤞🏾
So how are you now compared to then? You have more money now?
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life beause I invested early ahead this time .
@@Elkemartin213 Exactly ! That's my major concern and what lucrative investment can one venture into with the current rise in economic downturn
I have been investing in stocks for over 10 years now and I have made a lot of money. My portfolio has grown exponentially and I can't thank stocks and “Vivian Carol Gioia” enough for such an amazing way to make money!

I have been investing in stocks for over 10 years now and I have made a lot of money. My portfolio has grown exponentially and I can't thank stocks and “Vivian Carol Gioia” enough for such an amazing way to make money!
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.
It's best to seek an advisor right now, unless you're canny yourself. As a business owner in both the service industry and eBay reseller of all product categories, I can tell you we’re in a deep recession and everyone is running out of money.
I agree, having a brokerage advisor for inveesting is genius! Amidst the financial crisis in 2008, I was really having inveesting nightmare prior touching base with a advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $850k with the help of my advisor from an initial $120k investment.
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Carol Pasol Lewis and I have been working together for nearly four years, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
The news media are currently being inundated with economic meltdown news. It takes a lot to look past the sea of headlines and focus on what's important: No matter how low stock prices fall, they keep rising. I completely ignore all news and continue to invest. I recently set aside $40,000 to invest in the market as we anticipate a collapse. Do you have any suggestions?
The market will continue to fall, so I recommend you do a fundamental and technical analysis of the stocks of the companies you want to buy and their data forecasts for the next few years. Better yet, you could have an investment advisor help you restructure your entire portfolio and balance the bad apples you're holding. This strategy has worked for me so far, saved me a lot of stress, and is also very time efficient.
I completely agree, which is why I prefer to delegate daily decision-making to an investment adviser. It is difficult for them to underperform given their specialized knowledge and research, as well as the fact that every one of their abilities is geared toward utilizing risk for its asymmetrical potential, and mitigating risk of capital loss. I've been working with an investment advisėr for over two years, and have made over a quarter million dollar. It's really beneficial.
@@theresahv I'm glad I stumbled across this discussion. If you don't mind, could you tell me how to reach this investment adviser who helps you with your investments?
My financial consultant is Julie Anne Hoover whom I reached out to after finding her on a CNBC interview where she was the guest speaker. She's provided entry and exit points for the stocks I primarily focus o
@@theresahv Thank you. I just checked her out on the web browser, She seems really proficient. I'll follow up with an email. Thanks for the lead.
Some group of economists have projected that both the U.S and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, define as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because china and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.
My major concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can’t afford to see all my savings crumble to dust.
It’s a delicate economical season, so you can do nothing or little on your own. Hence, I will suggest you get yourself a financial advisor that can provide you with valuable financial information and assistance.
That’s why I always make it a point to speak with a financial advisor before choosing any investments. Apparently , I’ve been using one since the pandemic, using profits oriented tactics and minimizing risks as a buffer against inevitable downtrends.
In addition they have valuable access to insider knowledge and analysis, making failure virtually impossible for them. I’ve made over $1.5million passively working with Gregory Thomas Patchak, my advisor for over three years now.

Your advisor really seem to know this stuff. I found his online-page when I made a google search of his full names online, read through his resume, educational background and qualifications, it was really impressive. I left him a note and booked a call session with him..
This seems like the worst period.Even the markets are very unpredictable.started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high,today i am more than 60% down
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.
I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green and my retirement is edging closer by the day.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go. Based on a direct encounter with a CFP named Betty Sue Blanchard, I can say with certainty that their skills are excellent. She helped raise over $580,000 in 18 months from an initially stagnant portfolio of $150,000
Fantastic! can u share more details?
Cant reveal much info, she is the shrewd advisor responsible for my portfolio success, it's only right you look her up and confirm yourself.
I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks this year. Hope to make millions in 2024.
Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient but remember the bigger the risk the bigger the results. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.
You're right mate! I’ve been using a fin-market expert for two years now and I own a 7figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. Currently, my portfolio is worth over $800k.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
HEATHER LEE LARIONI is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
The fact that we get free documentaries on CZcams by FRONTLINE PBS is truly a gift. 👏👏👏
May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
This gift is from rich Democrats who want to make sure we think a certain way.
i mean PBS is all free
It's completely BS. Inflation comes from printing money and giving it to the wealthy.. Ukraine is just another way to launder tax payer dollars. Frontline is propaganda
Gift? You mean we get to eat propaganda from the same Bankers who have been raping our Nation & People of all of our wealth is a "Gift"?

As a recently retired U.S. government employee who spent 18.5 years as a federal bank examiner with a capital markets "subject matter" area, then 10.5 years as a financial analyst for the same agency, I consider this documentary the best summary of existing problems I have seen in such a brief package. Anyone who thinks our current economy is sound needs to stop listening to current government assurances.
This documentary help us to understand the past, and what to expect to happen in the next few years.

I watched it twice because I was so fascinated. How little the rest of our media questions what is going on is just astounding. With all of these current events, what is the best approach to profit from the present market? I'm still debating diversifying my $400k stock portfolio to obtain some profits while minimizing risk.
The strategies are sometimes seen as rigorous for the regular-Joe. Matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
My $550K portfolio was diversified across many markets with the assistance of an investment adviser, and in a matter of months, I was able to generate over $950K in net profit from high dividend paying stocks, bonds, and ETFs. Perhaps you should consider exploring that option.

At this moment, it is crucial for individuals to prioritize investing in alternative streams of income that are not reliant on the government, particularly with the existing worldwide economic crisis. Investing in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies can still be profitable during this period. Therefore, it is advisable to explore these investment options to secure one's financial future.
You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment.
In my opinion, the impact of the rise or fall of the U.S. dollar on investments is multi-faceted but learning how to grow your money has never been easier than now that you can explore and experience a truly diverse marketplace passively by using a well-performing portfolio-advisor.
@@talented009 please how do you manage to earn so much during this downturn?
One of the biggest mistakes investors can make when it comes to stock investments is giving up just as the indexes reach support and begin to rise after a bear market bottom. I've been in contact with a coach for a while now, largely because I lack the in-depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these reoccurring market situations. I netted over $220K during this drop, which demonstrated that there's more to the market than average Joe is aware of.
@@talented009 That's fascinating. How can I contact your Asset-coach as my portfolio is dwindling?
I'm 54 I and my spouse are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for*
My wife and I are right there with you. Top it off, she lost her job at a well known mortgage company last Tuesday. The company laid off half of the work force due to higher interest rates. "less people buying and refinancing homes". We are having to rebudget on a monthly bases. Unlike the higher powers to be, if you know what I mean, we just can't add zeros to our paychecks. I have faith in God to pull us all through, but it is going to be hard.
To top it all off nutballs in politics get pensions and great healthcare 😢
all that budget talk is BS. budgeting is not the answer, it's a sacrifice. it's a lowering quality of life. not the answer!
Do you run away and hide in a hole like a rat when you see the word 'learn'?
Let's put it to the test.
Learn about the many different kinds of financial markets.
(You don't need money to trade. this is false. companies will give you money to trade, you need to find them.)
Then Learn "how to read/trade Price Action."
EVERYTHING you need to know is on youtube.
there are many ways to trade, there is no one way, so find your way.
Learning this is a journey. It will take minimum 12 months to learn.
Plot your trades on a graph. this will guide you. When you're doing things right and your close to success you be able to visualize this. It looks like this, "Higher Highs and Higher Lows." Your progress is a trend. When your progress is on an uptrend you are heading in the right direction.
@@captmcloven2137where I live every day in my occupation I see more and more houses, cars and campers with for sale signs on them in people's yards. I know people that have been getting overtime for years that suddenly have it cut off. I think this November will be very telling as to the condition of this economy.

That’s the goal, unfortunately
We’re always hearing that income inequality is getting worse. Is that the case? It depends on what time frame you’re looking at. If you’re just looking at the current administration, that’s certainly true. But these kinds of changes occur all the time. If you’re saying over the long run, no, I wouldn’t think so I've seen a lots of positive post about MR SAM DEYMON I find stock.
Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies which mr sam helped me on this greatly appreciated.
This video really moves me! I've been working so hard over the past 1 and a half year to achieve my trading goals. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional and trusted advisor like Mr Sam Deymon..
Plz tell me about the best indicator
He's TE LEG RAM...
@samdeymon53....that's it = 4 advise.
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.
This seems like the worst period. Even the markets are very unpredictable. started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high ,today i am more than 60% down
I thought about investing in the real estate market, I heard that people make millions , but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $460,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it. Money is hard to come by
With the help of an investing advisor, I diversified my $400K portfolio across markets, and I was able to earn over $900k in net profit from high dividend yielding equities, ETFs, and bonds.
who was that please?
My consultant is Kate Elizabeth Amdall She has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care for supervision.
Great documentary, after listening to the all financial experts discuss the issues I realized that none of these financial geniuses manufactured nor created any new product to benefit society, they just move money around.

...And collect fees!
That's not their job and if they did the public would not like it when the systemic risk hits
Sad that their silver bullet, their "only" bullet, is playing around with interest rates ala "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" (The Great and Powerful Oz). Chimps could do this, just give them a green or red button to push and a little treat for their efforts. The real problem was too easy to see years ago when they dropped rates through the floor and held their fingers on the jugular for way too long. Where we're at was created and preventable by them. Incremental increases along the way would have been the prudent play. But here we are with the obligatory "sky's falling" fear-based cliffhanger scenario.... 👎👎
Drop the BS banal rhetoric.
Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival
Interest rate will continue to go up to about 8% to tame the inflation. However, it is not going to work. Time will get bad for the all working people. AI will reduce the people needed to get the job done. Stock market can crash down 30-50% and move sideway for about 10-15 years.
I have just taken some savings cash and purchased new production machinery from a manufacturer in Austria, then some additional machinery from a manufacturer in Taiwan. Starting with a 7,200 sq ft building I will set up a new manufacturing plant. For a starting investment below $50,000 I anticipate it will be earning well into the eight figures after market penetration. My view is that investment in new plant, while obviously incurring lots of risk, has the potential for outsize rewards. More wealth has been created in manufacturing than in anything else. Look at Carnegie. Look at Hewlett-Packard. Look at Ford.

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
Glad to have stumbled on this comment, Please who is the consultant that assist you and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
Marina Carolina Nice is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
Recession fears mount on Wall Street and inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% target, some of the top commentators in markets, business, and economics have been sounding off on just how bad they think the next downturn might be - and how far stocks may have to fall. I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $850k at the age of 60.
Find stocks with market-beating yields and shares that at least keep pace with the market for a long term. For a successful long-term strategy I recommend you seek the guidance a broker or financial advisor.
I agree with you, I've been in constant touch with a Financial Analyst for @approximately 8 months. You know, these days it's really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or keep. That's where my manager comes in, to help me with entry and exit points in the industries I'm engaged in. Can’t say I regret it, I’m 40% up in profits just in 5months with my initial capital of $160k.,#

I started buying some more stocks at the beginning of the year, but nothing big. Why am I treating this so harshly? Despite others in my sector earning six figures apiece, I'm driven to become the first person in my polygamous family to reach a million dollars. I am well aware of the costs associated with working more to get more money.
The top experts, however, have access to confidential information and data that is not made available to the broader public. Being knowledgeable enough to use them successfully is quite another. Big returns, not changing stochastics, are the key. Rewards and risks must be balanced. To reach your aim, pick the right size and turn your edge as often as necessary.
In light of the significant decreases, I'm in need of advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this teacher?
my advisor is "jackson sten marsh" , is a highly respected financial consultant in the industry. For further information or to connect with him, a simple online search with his name will suffice. I wish you every success in your endeavors
my coach is "Jackson sten marsh". is highly qualified and experienced in the financial market.

The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
Money invested is far better than money saved , when you invest it gives you the opportunity to increase your financial worth.
" It is remarkable how much long term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid , instead of trying to be very intelligent."
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
I also keep seeing lot's of people testifying about how they make money investing in Stock, Forex and Crypto Trade(Bitcoin) and I wonder why I keep loosing. Can anyone help me out or at least advice me on what to do.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.

The downfall of Silicon Valley Bank has caused significant damage to the worldwide financial markets. As a result, investors are scrambling to revise their projections for interest rate increases and hastily selling off bank stocks across the board. As someone who has invested 200k in stocks, I find myself at a pivotal moment, wondering whether it's wise to cash out my depreciating portfolio. What strategies should I adopt to make the most of this bearish market?
The recent events with SVB make it unlikely for the market to make significant gains soon, so it's wise to manage expectations and prepare for a potentially long recovery period. It's recommended to avoid making significant investment decisions until the economic environment stabilizes in areas of concern. It's best to exercise caution and avoid engaging with the current turbulence
A steadfast commitment to reputable companies requires either holding steady during market downturns or increasing investments during such times. This strategy is based on the fundamental belief that well-managed enterprises will eventually rebound with renewed strength. On the other hand, investors seeking long-term profits through stock appreciation should seek guidance from a FA to identify opportune entry and exit points. My own experience during the pandemic highlights the value of working with an investment advisor, which resulted in a significant gain of $530k in just 8 months.
please can you leave the info of your investment advisor here? I’m in dire need for one.

We experienced the peak of our era, and now it is gone. Recession is tanking everything including 401K. My retirement equities portfolio of $750K is in the reds. I keep losing because of inflation. This world will fall to the corrupt rulers in the same way that Rome did. I'm sorry if you're thinking about retiring and you're worried that your pension won't be enough to meet the rising cost of living. Horrible foreign policies everywhere, bad regulatory policy, bad fiscal policy, and bad energy policy.
For retirees and those close to retirement, I believe it's particularly challenging. All those years of labor only to lose it all to a problem you weren't responsible for, my regrets to everyone retiring during this time.
After the pandemic, things became extremely difficult, which is precisely when I sought a consultant's counsel. I've been investing on my own for nearly 3 years and have built up a stagnant reserve of $280K to $570K in just over 24 months.
I’m in dire need of guidance so i can salvage my portfolio due to the massive dips and come up with better strategies. How can I reach this advisor?

With all this scary news making the headlines, is this really a good time to buy stocks? I know everyone says the market is ripe enough for buying but will stocks tank further this year? How long until a full stock recovery?
It all depends on how long you're willing to hold for, stocks might likely tank further, but making serious gains in this downtrend wouldn't be a problem if you're a pro

He is STILL not asking the most IMPORTANT questions. Like WHY do we allow THE FED to issue OUR CURRENCY? WHY do we allow the stockholders of THE FED to get RICHER while the hard-working tax payers get POORER? It's the tax payers who pay the interest on those bonds the FED buys from the Treasury. Why pay for government spending with BONDS when we could BYPASS THE FED? We could pay for everything interest-free, with dollars issued directly from THE TREASURY. Federal Reserve notes should be replaced with TREASURY NOTES. That would keep the owners of THE FED from leeching wealth from the people who ACTUALLY GENERATE the wealth. THE WORKING TAXPAYERS. The Treasury should loan these Treasury notes to the private regional banks and make THEM pay interest on those dollars. They should also require them to provide mortgages for STARTER homes at ZERO % interest to first-time home buyers. (As long as they are a good credit risk.) The same for basic cars. They could let the banks charge whatever interest they want for luxury homes, cars and everything else. That would make the economy EXPLODE HIGHER THAN EVER BEFORE. The production of starter homes would explode, and everything associated with home ownership. Furniture, appliances, and everything sold at home supply stores like Home Depot would experience a MASSIVE boom in sales, production, and employment. THAT'S the kind of STIMULUS we need! Not passing out checks to people who never PRODUCED anything!

@lowcostfresh2266 There are many financial coaches who excel in their profession, but for the time being, I employ Laurel Dell Sroufe because I adore her methods. You can make research and find out more.
@@TomD226 Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
Props to that Fed member who voted against Bernanke 8 times in a row. He saw through the lies of the QE plans and history will prove he was right.
His contrarian viewpoint is a major focus in the book Lords of Easy Money by Chris Leonard.
I actually thing QE had a logic if applied for a few quarters. The fact that they didn’t take a U turn by Q2-Q3 2021 it was IMHO the biggest mistake.
We need a systemic Adjustment. Current System is Unsustainable 😊
Thank you so much for putting this together! This is the bar that all journalism should strive to meet.
How's that koolaid taste?
I am really worried about the current bank crisis. If a bank as big as SVB could fail, I fear for a lot more. I know a friend who is running a high-growth startup, and was badly hit by the bank run. I have pulled out more than $340k from my bank. After all, the FDIC covers only up to$250,000, and the implosion could have bad effect. Looking to invest into the stock market now. Does anyone know how I could go about it?
We underestimate the fact that banks are corporate entities also governed by greed. Since 2020, the banks have been over-leveraging their assets, which was one of the reasons for SVB's implosion. I have never been okay with keeping much money in the bank. I simply invest through my financial advisor, collect my profits, which I then spend.
@@FeliciaJudge I have learned to not trust corporations. I was badly hit by the '08 financial crisis. Since 2019, I've just been focused on investing through a financial advisor, and it has been paying off, and I'm never going back to banks full time.
@@user-xx4ul9un7h after a rare pandemic you better believe we are going to have a historic downturn 08 isnt just an event of the past

Great video. I watch several youtube videos on how to trade in the market but haven’t made any headstart because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story
of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own handswil
The best strategy to use in trading is to trade with a personal trader that understands the market very well, that way maximum profit is guaranteed, I'll highly recommend Katrina susan, she is my current account manager with Rocketta and the bot strategies are working
I'm amazed you mentioned Katrina susan, she is the best and the bot strategies works like magic. I've been making over 100% of my investment monthly since I started using Rocketta, the trading is quiet marvellous
This is not the first time i am hearing of katrina susan and Rocketta exploits, how she handles trading and generates good profits, Rocketta has really made a good name for itself, but i have no idea how to reach her to assist me
You can reach her through TELEGRAM
Katrinasusan is the name to look for
I graduated with a non-lucrative BS in criminal justice in 2009, and what it did was ruin my life. There was "a freeze" on the types of jobs that I could have gotten during that time, in Miami, Fl. I simply gave up applying after having applied for years with no luck. I lost my job during that time as well. Although i own a home today, however, ive never been able to fully recover. Not to mention my ridiculous student loans. Yet, these banks were rescued and gave themselves bonuses.
Bravo, James Jacoby. You've produced something to be proud of.
Disturbing on many levels, but for me what hit home was tech, a field which I have worked in for about 16 years and have just - happily - left. What really was tragic about tech was its financialization. So many companies more concerned with either an IPO or an inflation of their stock price than they were with creating value and solving problems. It led to all kinds of toxicity on the small scale, and lots of wasted money and talent on the large scale. But now I have come to understand that the reason tech has become like this is that it's a place to park cheap money.
The decisons in the central bank, have placed asia in rebelion against the united states, this was a decision made by the fed and a huge mistake done by the fed.The consequences? we have not seen it. This looks like a reste in the american economy is imminent.
I have to agree. Like they said, too much money. 31 trillion I guess. I wonder if we were to put a new currency into the world for 8 billion people how much would we need to borrow? $1000 per person would be 8 trillion. Yes / no?
@@timsteinkamp2245 I guess so. But why would we need to do this?

Amazing documentary. Every American needs to see this.
Thank you for providing such quality reporting.
Phenomenal Documentary that brings everything right to the current day situation
This is a fantastic, comprehensive, and sobering account of the state of the financial markets - kudos to the Frontline team. This episode is nearly two hours - time well spent.
Sobering, but understated. We're in for a calamity. This puts a nice face on it all.
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in st0cks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy st0cks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same markt raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.
Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge
I agree. Based on personal experience working with an investment advlsor, I currently have $985k in a well-diversified portfollo that has experienced exponential growth. It's not only about having money to invest in st0cks, but you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Viviana Marisa Coelho and I have been working together for nearly four years, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
Dude that guy looks like the guy in Austin Powers! Mike Myers and Mr.Evil haha
I’m 50 years old living in Canada Albert, I’m willing retired at 55 if things keep going the way I planned bought my first house last month and i can’t be more proud that I’m now I’m glad I made a very good productive decisions that has changed my financial status for forever*
Spam scam
I read on CNBC about someone who is netting $20k a month from just his investments in the market, which is from capital he had amassed long ago. That is incredible. How do people do that?
People actually make that much from the market, although they have more expertise than average, or they use experts i.e hedge funds or financial advisors. There's a goldmine in the market, especially as the Nasdaq is rising.
People underestimate how much they can rake in from the stock market. Started with $127k just before the pandemic hit. Many people's portfolios tanked, but I rode through with my financial advisor, and even made more than $86k within just five months of starting
Mind giving me a clue as to who you work with? I'm very close to retirement and I worry I do not have enough accumulated yet, and I don't feel ready.
I'm hesitant to make recommendations like this online, so I can't drop her contact here. However, you could look her up yourself. Her name is *Sharon Louise Count.*
Thanks a lot for this. I will check her out and send her an e-maill. I hope she gets back to me soon.
I was in the fortunate position to save all of my stimulus checks, and paid off my old traffic fines, got my license back after almost two decades, and bought a vehicle. Then I started making deliveries. I had been unemployed for several years beforehand.
Good decision man. My best friend hasn't had his license for over 10 years because of multiple DUIs. He spent all his stimulus money on guns and ammo. I told him he was a fool.
Live, learn, adjust, then move. Always get needs, budget, enjoy life don't let life run you.
Sensible decisions clearly show the benefit of stimulus.
But that was stimulus from an elected government that wanted to help those in need. All the fed messing around was not part of that and only enriched the top.
That is actually what any educated person should do. If u receive free money that is going to everyone you should know inflation is coming so reduce your exposure
Hopefully with the interest rates now through the roof we’ll be able to settle to a healthy level that doesn’t choke our housing sales but also doesn’t create free money
They do understand what everyone is going through they just don't care because it doesn't effect them too much !
"we're like a giant blood sucker" Most honest thing a money man has ever said
If you check out Michael Hudson, a Marxist, more or less, he has been talking the same way and in detail.
Nah just the rich an conman an Alice's normal American are F'd
Elites
Debt Notes are not Money.
They've gotten to the point that they're unashamedly honest about what they've done. "Yeah, we've tanked the Economy. But so what? We got ours."
America as a whole needs to see this so we can understand how we got here and what needs to be done to fix it.
Jfk and Abraham Lincoln got assassinated for trying to fix this. This is how our system is built to work and won't ever be fixed until we get rid of the central bank and fiat currency
They should play it repeat on the emergency frequency for a month. Or it should be required viewing in order to get your tax return.
the government is the problem here..this is big government/big spending run amok..get used to it
It's Corporate Greed. We are not allowed to say it because corporations don't like it.
@@justinhenry8995 government bought and paid for by corporations and the ultra rich.
Funny how the average person in society defaults on bank loans, the banks immediately responds with foreclosure and evictions. But, when the bank defaults and is in imminent bankruptcy, everybody's tax dollars are used to bail them out. These banks should think about this next time they want to foreclose and evict a homeowner!
I’ve been watching frontline documentaries for a number of years now but this is truly one of the best I’ve seen 👏
They’re terrible, it’s just that they no longer can deny the facts. But they will sugar coat it like it this doc.
If you wanna believe the lie that they are promulgating… that the Fed isn’t actually the same thing as the banks.
Amazing documentary. I've lived through all of this yet never fully understood what was happening and why. Exceptional journalism. This should be shown at High Schools and Universities.
The Money Masters. THAT video should be shown to students and PBS viewers. It shows the actual SOLUTION to this mess. This video doesn't.
The schools are rigged for the ordinary person to keep them in servitude. It is no mistake economics and financial prowess is NOT taught in public school. Instead they brainwash a lot of ideology mostly with some of the 3R's.
I watched this video as well two years ago 😊, it's strange that it shows that it was uploaded 9 months ago.
Thank you for this program
Really great documentary on the dangers of easy money. The problem is most the people who understand the financial system cheer the fed on. Wallstreet only cares about asset prices next week, politicians only care about the economy up until the next election cycle. Nobody cares about negative consequences as long as they are more than 5 years out except the average joe, but the systems have been designed to be so convoluted and so complex the average joe has no shot of understanding them.
I have a retirement savings account I can not touch until I'm 65yrs old, so I can not cause a run on a bank.
How about those 20 investors put a bid on my foreclosured house, the very first day, sight unseen and cash in their checking accounts. One over asking price. A run on real estate.
Now I'm stuck in the rent trap. Driving a 20yr old truck. And a great career.
My daughter just graduated college, with a top career choice. And the local real estate is out of her paycheck's reach. She is also stuck in the rent trap. She found the cheapest rental property, with a higher college degree. A oxymoron.
You would think, after a top college career choice, the biggest home to buy would be waiting for her. The biggest American dream.
I'm sorry. Now where did those 20 investors come from with cash in their checking accounts?
Investors are not helping. Their "profits" are a verb.
I have a retirement savings account and I don't call it "building wealth".
"Building wealth" is clearly stating something different than a retirement savings account.
"Profits" is clearly being said as a verb.
"Passive Income" is clearly being said to avoid work.
You are both right and wrong.
The Fed priority is still raising interest rate to reduce inflations, but they also bailout SVB, Signature and other banks too.
Bailout cost inflation by printing more money.
It's a vicious cycle of raising interest rate then bailout big banks, then raising interest rate higher, to bailout bigger banks.
The End Time is that the interest rate will become so high (more than 7%) that by the end of 2030. The U.S could pay $1.200 - 1.4 Trillion in interest rate EACH YEAR!
In comparison, the current U.S defense budget is $800 billions.
That is why millennials and Gen Z are getting more depressed, they understand that hard time is coming and they will pay for the sins of boomers.
@@Commievn I feel gen z and millennials have or will get sucked in the same greedy system and if they are depressed it's only because they don't have the knowledge or forth right to jump in and participate. I'm just pessimistic though. Maybe by the time my little girl gets out of school, and those gen zs and millennials that are in those same ceo seats and government that they will have changed things, but I'm not holding my breath.
Ha so everyone is sad and depressed because they can't get rich.. cry babies... Sounds like your real problem is you love money just as much as the rich.. you are the same as those sinful boomers 😂

The system has become too big to reverse.
It is similar to the U.S Gun culture. While rest of the world is becoming more peaceful or at least less destructive by violent protests, this is thanks to stricter arm control and educations.
U.S cannot do that, the ship has sailed long ago, there are more guns than people in the U.S and multiple pro-gun institutions has established and are increasing.
The pro is nobody would try to f*ck with Americans.
But the con is outweighing the pros now.
Too many gang violents, mass-shooting, and the worst is possibility of total collapse of social order.
The French is protesting because of pension reform, however, it is still under control, cause the masses don't have guns.
What will happen when U.S cuts spending on social security, welfare, healthcare, and other federal programs (to keep Americans happy) because they can no longer borrow more debts?
During civil right movements, people didn't have as many guns as we have now.
Jan. 6th would be like a kindergarten event to what could happen in the future when the dollars no longer the world reserve.
During a recession, many stocks and assets may be undervalued. I believe now is an ideal time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains, but it wouldn't hurt to know how to make short-term profit. I've heard of investors making over $400k profit in this current sinking market, and I'm looking for ideas on how to earn similar profits.
The market is volatile at this time, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
Very true , I diversified my $400K portfolio across multiple market with the aid of an investment advisor, I have been able to generate over $900k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds in few months.
wow ,that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.
Lisa Angelique Abel is the Consultant that oversees my portfolio. She's been able to gain some reputation and online recognition with over 3 decades in service, so it shouldn't be a hassle to find basic info.
She appears to be a true expert in her field. I looked her up on the internet and discovered her website, which I perused and read to learn more about her credentials, academic background, and profession. She has a fiduciary duty to me to act in my best interests. I scheduled an appointment to utilise her services.
Thank you for amazing documentary
Great Doc.! Let US land that money plane as softly as we can.
Phenomenal, informative, non-partisan, independent, well-sourced documentary. This is what good journalism should be.
When people understand the underlying reality of our economy, they understand we've been living in a dream that's about to become an inflationary nightmare.
it was always a nightmare for poor people - trying to live off the land then dying of cancer from the major industries contaminating the land.
when the people who have been getting free money also have to hunt and butcher their own food, they will die.
the people whose lives were terrible, it will hardly change a bit, they know how to grow their own food and survive.
@@alicewright4322 Yup... as a socially marginalized person (black trans-woman) the realization of how things are run doesn't affect me in the slightest. I am glad to constantly go through harrowing storms bc these "nightmares" have no impact on my current reality. Ugh!
After watching this i don't feel well.
Your can live and love. Independently on economics. That's the main reason.
I agree with you. With that said though. I will say that since I was able to purchase a new home in late 2017, that starting in 2021 and then exploding higher in 2022(the massive value rise in homes) that my homes value went up by, 52% in just 5 years. It made it to where I was able to take out, 85k cash in the extra value on my home and pay off all of my debt(excluding my home) which has saved me, 1200 bucks and that's even with my mortgage payment going up by, 687 bucks with taking out that 85k. Now, I can save my family even more money every month now for when the raining day times come. Fortunately, I make 6 figures for myself and my family and with our only bill(besides food and gas and health insurance) being our mortgage payment, I can now set aside, 75% of my take home pay each month. I'd say within the next 5 years, the financial markets will tank and all hell will break loose again. Luckily, I would have been able to save so much in those next 5 years that it won't impact my family at all. Thank God. As it's a man's duty and responsibility to take care of his family. I'm not saying that woman can't do the same. I'm just saying that how can a man call himself a real man if he can't take care of his family.
It is like saying a messenger pigeon is free, because it's able to view the world while it delivers it's message.
RIP GhostDog
