    Buying the dip isn’t wise in this economic terrain. We’re already seeing savings dwindle this year because of higher prices and the rising costs of paying back debt. We are looking at turning to emergency funds. The festive season is here what moves can an investor make to rack up gains even in bear market?

    • @xavier_lucas
      @xavier_lucas 6 місяців тому +6

      Government stimulus payments and curbed spending allowed Americans to save more money than they typically do. Annual household income surged in the past 4 years post pandemic, don’t expect it to continue.

    • @AnkurYo
      @AnkurYo 6 місяців тому +4

      Yup excess savings families gathered during the pandemic appears to have run out among middle-income and low-income households.

      I’m in a private client group under a certain Monica Mary, a market strategist and Wall Street vet. In a note sent to the group she said that U.S. stocks as represented by the S&P 500 have fallen too far, too fast, clearing a path for the market to rally into the end of the year, and beyond that what was sent out in a note to clients published on Friday

      If you specifically tell your customers that deposited funds aren’t being mixed with invested funds, it doesn’t matter how “similar” your activity is to what banks do. It’s called fraud.
      When you deposit cash into a bank, that cash becomes the property of the bank and they can do whatever they legally want with it (the bank doesn’t lend it out to anyone else, but they do use it to satisfy withdrawal requests).
