    I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio dwindle away is such an eye -sore.

      There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.

    • @joshbarney114
      @joshbarney114 Рік тому +3

      I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

      Actually, I've shuffled through a few advisors in the past, and “Colleen Janie Towe” remains the most resourceful thus far. Her strategy proves profitable, and sustainable both in a bull & bear market. Most likely, her deets can be found on the net, so you can confirm yourself.

    "If two people are looking at Andrew's Pitchfork, how useful is that?" Well, that's an interesting question because not many people know about, or are looking at Anchored VWAP yet. I still think it's useful though since it shows who's in control since an important event.

    @jasongoodwin387 Рік тому

    Brian you talk about vwap for levels but how do you find that entry? I wrote an alert based on bb to find outliers in volatility, either on the expansion side (eg to trade into vwap) or contraction (eg at the end of a run)
    I've got alerts to help find that entry and predict the movement may come soon. That might be something to look at. I've got pine on my blog for it but yeah just outliers on bb on either side of volatility (top to bottom) is a good start.

      @jumpster3283 Рік тому

      In the beginning, he was referring to today's market open (1-day) and yesterday's market open (2-day). As he went on, he was anchoring to all-time highs and pivot-highs to illustrate how they show "hidden" support / resistance levels. He even used a couple of pivot-lows in there. He did mention about being careful in placement as too many or wrong placements might begin to show support / resistance levels where you want to see them, not where they truly are.
      I think for now, I'm going to use Today and Yesterday's market opening times (9:30am) and see how that works out for me. :)

    @learningtocrash4030 Рік тому +2

    When they say 200 or 50 "day" MA, I'm almost sure they mean candle or period and not day. So on a chart where each candle is a minute its the last 200 or 50 minutes that are being averaged, thats why the MA curve changes when you change the chart candle period. I'm not sure if you can get an MA that is actually for the day/hour/minute which can be transposed onto a different time-frame chart. But I'm still learning.

    • @loganf4898
      @loganf4898 Рік тому +2

      You can definitely get basically every time frame moving average you can think of on a chart. You can put a 21/50/200 day moving average on a 1 min candlestick chart. Conversely, you can put a 50 minute moving average on a daily candlestick chart. Moving averages and exponential moving averages only "work" because enough traders and algos agree that they ~should~ work.

    • @justinbridgez

    Thanks for this breakdown from a personal angle I am aware that continuing to invest during periods of volatility can be a smart way to build wealth. I’ve heard testimonies of people accruing over $250k in this red period. What measures can I take to achieve this?

      Bitcoin has been falling for a while now and could fall further or close to rise again. The truth is that no one knows, I believe it's the right time to buy and also get a pro's assistant

    What Brian is referring to here about funds selling down a stock premarket only to buy it straight back on the open... isn't that manipulation and therefore illegal? That's a pretty serious allegation he's making...
