I woke up this morning thinking about how to rebalance my portfolio and honestly am at a loss for safe calculated strategies moving forward.
Interest rates are non existent
Stocks are back in record high territory
Real estate is too high to jump in now
Bond rates are record lows
Futures seem risky
So what are you doing for long term investments?

I had these thoughts a few months back when I started reading stock threads. Honestly I’m investing in myself right now. I’m taking all the classes I can, and getting all the certs I can. I’ve been studying for my cwi since 330 this morning. I’ve invested about 4K into that program. I’m trying to make sure no matter what happens to the economy I have a back up plan.

Everything you said is true. For me that means increasing diversification rather than going for a home run in a particular asset class. Time to start hitting singles.

Work on building assets for multiple, diverse income streams.

Real estate is an excellent hedge against inflation provided you buy it right. Don’t limit yourself to your local. You can make money a million different ways in RE.

The way things are going it will get real rough in the coming months and years. The dems are destroying the country as we know it. They including the conservatives are printing more money than ever before.... get rid of any dept and start buying some gold and silver and select gold and silver stocks.... you'll be glad you did...

It’s a sure bet that Trump will be re-elected and everything will be fine. Stay the course and make money the easy way, everyone’s doing it. The market only goes up, buy the dips, don’t miss out! :rolleyes:

This is some of the best advice out there. Investing in yourself has the best returns for sure. A few years ago I had an under performing real estate portfolio so I took the money out put my self through college now I make more money with the education and then paid myself back at the same rate the plan was making so in October the account is all paid back (minus earning lost for a few years) and I am still making more annually than I did without investing in me.

Not at all what I am looking to do. Playing a short game is fun to do with mad money and I've done my fair share of that. Not looking too put everything in to the next hot fad, I was inquiring about new long term strategies and what others are diversifying into.

Inform what cwi stands for
I believe a Certified Welding Inspector.
Certified welding inspector. I plan to teach at the apprenticeship as long as they let me, but in case things ever slow down it’s my plan b and c. It’s an hourly raise just for having the certs and not that I need anymore overtime but it’s guaranteed overtime whenever I want. The downside is the pass rate is only 30% and I’m not that smart

Been doing good playing a short game in the market, still looking for longer investment strategies though. With how beat up the light commercial, food, & entertainment industry has been I see some discount commercial property on the horizon. Might be a good time to jump into that game?

I'm heavily invested in Real Estate holdings right now, but I will be moving my new long term strategies into Gold and Heavy Metals over the next 18-24 months. I'm expecting by the end of 4 years of Biden we will be looking at 7%-9% Inflation Rates as they are going to be borrowing extensively on an already out of balance Federal Deficit. The value of the US Dollar is going to take it in the shorts soon!
