      Volatile means the prices of stocks can swing up and down quickly in a short time. It’s influenced by things like interest rates, inflation, and company earnings reports.

      It depends on your goals. Some investors see volatility as an opportunity to buy at lower prices, while others prefer to wait until the market stabilizes. It’s about balancing risk and reward.

    Rich people have assets, which are inflation proof. On the other hand, earned income is vulnerable to inflation. That's why the rich get richer in inflationary environments. An example, wealthy person may own several homes, rental properties(Commercial/Residential), businesses, productive land, equities, bonds, etc. The average W2 employee gets taxed the highest rate, they own almost no productive assets.

      The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic.

Second, what works for A may not necessarily work for B and you should not be a bandwagon investor.
