Now is a very difficult time to be in the stock market. If you held your stocks through the year, you could have seen declines of 20-50%, or worse. The S&P 500 is down 25%. This means that on average, anyone invested in this index or mix of underlying stocks would have lost a quarter of its value of wealth! This is disturbing.
The Truth
The truth is that we had all experienced a great last decade of prosperity, wealth creation and…inflation. Now, we are experiencing the harsh realities of printing currency without an increase in production. That reality comes in the form of increased interest rates, higher food prices and a slowing economy.
Great Opportunities
Today, there still exists great opportunities to create long term wealth. In fact, this could be the time to think differently and prepare for great investment opportunities, both in real estate and equities. You see, Warren Buffet said it best when he said to ”Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when they are fearful.” Any wise observant investor would have been fearful over the last two years, when large amounts of money was being printed and pumped into the system. Now, as the world faces those consequences and turns to fear, this is the time to invest in a contrarian way.
Some Advice
1️⃣ Buy those stocks of companies you like with strong fundamentals.
2️⃣ Invest in real assets such as real estate.
Keep a watchful eye on what is happening and be strategic. A great place to start is to read Ray Dalio’s The Changing World Order. All this has happened before in history. It will open your eyes!
