    I'm not kidding when I say that the market crash and high inflation have me really stressed out and worried about retirement.

      I can’t focus on the long run when I should be retiring in 3years, you see I’ve got good companies in my portfolio and a good amount invested, but my profit has been stalling, does it mean this recession/unstable market doesn’t provide any calculated risk opportunities to make profit?

      I agree, my profit has been consistent no matter the market situation, I got into the market early 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me so I sold off, got back in Dec 2020 this time with guidance from an investment adviser that was recommended by a popular economist on a subreddit, long story short, its been 2years now and I’ve gained over $850k following guidance from my investment adviser.

    The market and the Fed consistently underestimate the sticky nature of inflation. The markets are still unsure if the Federal Reserve will continue to its plan to raise interest rates until inflation is under control, despite the fact that bond yields are rising while stock prices are falling. What is the greatest strategy to take advantage of the current bear market while I'm still deciding whether to sell my $401k worth of stocks?

    Like Warren Buffet said, dividends are only good if the business you’re investing into can’t make good use of that capital. So if you’re trying to invest into businesses with actual growth, looking at dividends is a waste of time. Why are you investing into a company if they’re returning capital to you because they think you can make better use if it than they can. It’s not much different from bond investing. The way I see it if you have a $1 million at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income...

      The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

      I’m guessing it’s more sophisticated than that but I see why you’d guess that’s what they do. I think Spitznagel used to claim he’d try to buy Puts that were about -30% to break even on the underlying and use 2% of the portfolio on the Puts for some underlying like SPY that should usually appreciate longterm but he never gave details on how he rolled and managed them and made it sound like there was secret sauce on when to buy and sell them, which expiry dates to hold and how to roll them. I’m also guessing he’d never tell you exactly what he’s doing and oversimplify it… and he probably is more capital efficient with futures and not buying Puts on Robinhood.

I suppose it is more sophisticated but I tend to believe that whatever they are doing can be replicated on a smaller retail level. I have heard Spitznagel refer to the concept as being a form of portfolio insurance. Meaning if 98% of my portfolio is generally bullish/long investments then it’s okay to have 2% of the positions in cheap, wildly speculative short positions on major indexes. They view it as a small price to pay for having insurance. I’m not sure why everyone else views it as a drain on their portfolio.

BTC is hardcoded with a fixed supply, same as many other cryptocurrencies. The core is money by the people for the people and improved by the people. No one person or entity is in charge of the supply. We all have "skin in the game" to keep the system functioning. We see throughout history over thousands of years that currencies collapse due to reckless printing and hyperinflation out of greed and perpetual growth.
