The people I know...
-Tulsi Gabbard head of security.
... someone who to my recollection spent a few years at Russia Today
spouting Putin's propaganda. Hillary said bitd that Russia is grooming Gabbard. Surely this can't be safe choice to lead US intelligence agencies.
-Kennedy head of healthcare
... Vaccine critic/conspiracy theorist
-Matt Gaetz as attorney general :))))
... oh wait, it's now Pam Bondi.
To my recollection this woman received campaign donations etc from Trump
in order to ice some investigation on Trump's businesses. Which she did.
"During the 2016 Republican National Convention, she joined in “lock her up” chants"
"After Trump lost the 2020 election, Bondi was involved in efforts to overturn the results, falsely claiming that Trump had “won Pennsylvania” at a news conference in Philadelphia"
Only the best people, again.
Who else?
-Musk to lead Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Judging by the acronym & Musks history, he never misses a beat to questionably
influence his crypto holdings prices.

Tell me you're joking?

He said no vaccine in the US has been tested and he's not against vaccines but he's against those that weren't tested?
It's easy to debunk his lies if he's lying?

It's what he said, or something like that, can't find video.
I think he won a lawsuit for that so clearly he was the one who was telling the truth.

Nah, can't be sore on every missed opportunity, I'm not a fortune
teller. That only leads to going in just before the tide
turns. Anyways, I don't believe meme-stuff is good in the long run.
There's a lesson here about not letting your emotions ruin a good
investment opportunity.
Still, Elon has definitely manipulated the crypto market with his
tweets & stuff. This is another example. Now going to Trump admin to
get nice inside deals etc...
"What cryptocurrency does Tesla accept? Tesla only accepts
Dogecoin. Tesla cannot receive or detect any other digital
assets. Ensure you are making your purchase with Dogecoin."
Yes, Elon is 100% grifter. But you know, all this "denaturalization"
talk from the Trump camp might come back to bite HIM. Why not seize his vast holdings while giving him the boot back to Cape Town?

Perhaps. On other hand you shouldn't invest on assets you don't
believe in just for speculation... it leads easily to selling at the
bottom of the crash. Anyway, unlikely that'd I'd put a life changing
amount on crypto no matter what so no big harm done.
I'm more annoyed that I didn't buy (physical) gold a year back when I
was considering it. And that I bought too little USA when fairly
priced. Still, pretty happy with my SP500 min vol fund gains, and it
should also be a bit more crash resistant.
Sold part of US portfolio because a bank fund merged to another fund
which had something like 2% yearly costs. Goddamn.
I think preservation of capital is more important than going full
FOMO. As Buffett says: "nobody wants to get rich slowly".
I am not a knowledgeable investor and I use a portfolio manager. He recommended NVIDA in 2020 and I bought 44 shares at ~348 per share.

Earned you a car or couple right there...
Luck has often worked for me, no shit.
But sometimes you have to recognize when luck has presented you with a
gift and you have to go ahead and grab it. That *wasn't* the case with NVIDA--it was pure luck for me, but always you have to see opportunities
that luck throws in front of you, and dodge the piles of dogshit it flings.
People who have real, repeated troubles in life don't even know what I'm talking about here: the concept is alien to their way of seeing things.

Musk engages in censorship on Twitter and is generally anti free speech, though he fools the rubes into thinking the opposite. He also seems to
have anti-democratic, elitist ideas. Maybe he's good for apartheid-era South Africa? Putting him in prominent positions in government while he remains CEO of multiple large businesses is a recipe for massive
corruption.

People who have real, repeated troubles in life don't even know what
I'm talking about here: the concept is alien to their way of seeing
things.
I guess you're talking about ceasing opportunities & minimizing risk.
Not sure, TT. Let's kick it to find out. We may not be talking about the
same thing...
Let's start from the assumption where I, personally, do not like
investment that is largely outside of my control. All investments have
an uncontrolled element, and I'm too scared, too nervous, to go there,
but...
As revenues/assets from more "controlled" investments (income RE and
sale of RE assets) you *MUST* put them somewhere: you can't put them
under your mattress, and you can't put them into a savings account. The nature of fiat currencies and monetary polices mean that the asset level
has to float in value.
This is where, as you said earlier, physical gold has a role.
So this is where I use a manager. This, too scares me, but I also know
that I will not spend the proper amount of time/study to assign
equity-type investments myself. So I find managers, almost by luck, and follow their advice. I turn over "surplus" revenues to them and have
done this since about 2000. For the most part I've been OK.
I have four separate portfolios under different management companies,
for a level of diversification. So the portfolios target different risk levels as well as different investment houses.
So all of this may sound smug, but I'm less smug than satisfied and
relieved. If you grew up with minimal money, you'll know what I mean.
In investing EVERYONE tells you that they will buy after the market
crashes... and when it does, they're too scared that it will drop more
because of the reason(s) the market crashed in first place.
Yes, exactly. I agree. I, myself, have done this prior to management.
Take for
example China hitting record lows in January, nobody dared to touch
it, it was "uninvestable" etc. I thought it was less risky than more
expensive markets and ceased the opportunity with a nice sum. Has done
pretty well since, not a big surprise imo.
The flip side also works: people ride a market up for a long time--been
going up and up, and you wait for the top--without ever really thinking
about how you'll recognize the top, because during that run up, there
were some market retreats, but overall it was up.
So then it does turn, you hold and hold, and finally you see that it
won't recover to the high, and then when you sell, you're still selling
at a gain, but maybe 20-25% off the peak.
The important thing is that you're positioned to be ok whatever the
stock market does.
Yes, this is doable so long as you have no need to take any of the cash
for emergencies/luxuries/etc.
Investment money is fundamentally different from "regular money", which
needs to be reasonably liquid.
