    Rate cuts commence in June 2024, taking 6-8 months to complete. A potential crash, if any, might occur by March 2025. The soft landing narrative is gaining traction, making this big recession everyone is calling for less likely. With $1 million from a business sale, I'm seeking profitable investment opportunities for the next 3 years.

      The financial market is a reliable choice. Diversify your portfolio with I-bonds, stocks (ETFs, REITs, dividend-paying stocks), and bitcoin. Given your budget, I recommend hiring a fiduciary to ensure you receive professional insights for a fee.

      @Jersderakerguoe Před 25 dny +4

      Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

    increasing in rate resuliting to high inflation The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.

      Keeping money in the bank is like paying banks and the Govemment. Here's how it works: The bank gives out your money as loan, and charge interest obviously higher than inflation rate, and then give you, the depositor, interest lower than inflation rate. That means net loss for you. That is why I prefer to invest, and on average, my advisor makes returns that always beats inflation!

    K, minimum wage earner here.
    Not interested in taking more than I need and if I find myself in need of more than minimum, the minimum was too low.
    As I understand it, from a casual observer's point of view, rates rise and prices fall, rates fall and prices rise, yes?
    K, we won't get into the semantics, that's the long and the short of it in two nutshells.
    No, we most certainly not should be seeing rates falling already.
    Prices are still 28% too high.
    You can't forego 2% for a fiscal quarter and then say "k, back to business as usual."
    Not going to happen, neighbor.
    I am still trapped in this death trap rental with no way to come up with the down payment you want, even though I never miss a rent payment, or I'd be homeless. Yes, trapped, it's 65% the price of the smallest, dampest, dirtiest other one on the market and 25% larger and it has a tub. Single sink was my only complaint, when I moved in. There are 10 now(ie1: leaky ceiling during north winded thunderstorms, ie2: radiator leak during repair in Feb 2023 in unit above mine that caused every 'other' ceiling to partially collapse-not fixed yet). Each one has been reported, and nothing has happened. 13 years and no work done aside from the most dire of emergency work. 13 years and 6 owners, who've each put it up for sale less than 3 months in, no doubt turning an unjust profit and very unjustly enraging the next owner.

    let's talk about how consumer borrowing has replaced wage growth. employers need to pay higher wages across all industries. for too long, wages have been stagnant, despite moderate increase in cost of living.
    if wages dont increase, then the basic personal amount needs to increase to at least 30k. this may be more effective vs raising minimum wage, and all wages. before this, a whole bunch of financially illiterate and overlevered people need to go broke, unfortunately.

    Cause and Effect! Interest rate hikes are caused by inflation. And inflation measures INCLUDE the costs of accommodation (rent, mortgage installments, utilities, property taxes, condominium fees, home repairs and maintenance). If you want to see interest rate cuts- focus on resolving what's causing inflation.
