  1. A crash jurt as you enter retirement is a life destroyer. for you and your children is you planned to leave them anything

    1. In other words, to STEAL Americans purchasing power, like modern day pirates, and people just let it happen, they’re like a mafia charging people a tax

    1. Now l’ve hit $558,685. I was having this exact conversation with my son the other night-generational wealth isn’t just about getting money. It’s about teaching everyone not only how to make it, but also how to maintain it. It does no good for me to provide for my family if they don’t understand how to manage and sustain it.

    2. How did you manage to achieve that level of growth? I’ve been doing everything I can to improve my investments. I want to retire in a few years and need better diversification

    1. I agree with the opportunity part, but I learned a long time ago that the hard part isn’t recognizing a crash, it’s knowing what to do while everyone else is panicking. Cash is useful, but sitting completely on the sidelines waiting for the “all clear” can be just as costly, especially when inflation is steadily eroding its value.

      I’d rather have a core portfolio that keeps compounding and a strategy that can actually put volatility to work. That’s one reason Midavest has become an interesting part of my approach.
      Definitely a different way of looking at things, but I can’t argue with the results. I’ve been Outperforming inflation by a wide margin. The retail market is increasingly taking notice of the advantages it offers.

  2. ‘Buy and hold’ assumes you live long enough. I’m 73, no wife or kids, no family, own home, independent income. Buy and hold for what? 😊🇦🇺

    1. I get the point, but at 73 I’d be thinking less about holding forever and more about what my money actually needs to do. If I had $100k to allocate, how would you balance growth with having enough available for the years ahead?

    2. I had to rethink that too. I spoke with a CFA about focusing more on income, withdrawals, and avoiding unnecessary trades instead of just chasing growth, and my portfolio is up about 41% this year.

    3. Regina Rose Steele, She always emphasizes focusing on long-term fundamentals instead of reacting to every scary headline. She’s worth the research.

    4. @ClaudeRichardson Thank you for the lead. I searched her site up and filled the form. I hope she gets back to me soon.

    1. To be fair some of the people advising buy and hold know that they are talking to financial illiterates who don’t have the discipline for more complex instructions. Buy and hold with dollar cost averaging is very simple and generally works across any 20 year stretch.

    2. I’m not falling for their scam. I don’t buy into the hype; I just play their greed. I use Midavest to profit from the swings they cause when they mess with the price. When they pump, I take the gains. When they dump, I capitalize on the panic. I’m not playing their game; I’m just picking up the crumbs they leave behind, which actually end up being worth more than the whole meal.

      The Smart Money doesn’t care where the price goes. They profit from the movement itself.
      Passive investors are just liquidity for the active traders now.

  3. There’s a significant problem with using the 200 day moving average when the markets go parabolic. Today, the 200 day moving average is >50% below the close of the S&P500 and for GLD, it was about 50% below the peak value of gold early this year. So, waiting for the cross would’ve wiped out half the value of your holdings.

    1. If you are still in profit because of the parabolic move then shouldn’t be a problem, and it would protect you from further losses

  4. During the GFC I had a friend that lost about a quarter of his retirement. I told him to get out of the market, it wasn’t over. He said his financial advisor told him he would miss out on the recovery and lock in his losses. He didn’t lock in his losses, he lost about half more. I told him he would have been better off to put it in silver dimes in coffee cans behind the chili and carrots in the kitchen.
