Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert
For new investors Buy stocks in solid companies like i did with my $270k and hold them as long as they stay strong. Ignore forecasts and market opinions they’re distracting at best and useless in the long run
Welp, 20 years later, how we lookin'?
The owner of Ann Taylor and Lane Bryant, which just a few years ago was one of the country's largest clothing retailers for women and girls, filed for bankruptcy on Thursday, after declining sales and high debt were exacerbated by store closures mandated by coronavirus lockdowns.Jul 24, 2020

Unless your a financial advisor or someone who is very successful at investing please don’t try to give advice! People are looking for real guidance.the way I see it is if you don’t have time on your side then it makes no sense in buying stocks for under 8 years. Learn about trading and get a mentor and follow what they teach. If u got 10 or more years then invest. I was unable to invest most of my adult life because of circumstances but I am able to now and have opened up a retirement account and will be able to invest for 20 years before I retire. It could be enough to last me until I pass if I’m alive 10 years or less which is likely going to be the case as I’m diabetic. But I don’t have time to play games. I have kids that might still be teens if I pass in my 60s. So I’m learning trading and learning a strategy and I’m going with that as I can make way more money than at my job and investing out together. I could lose money if I don’t follow a strategy but I’m a disciplined person so I know and have confidence in myself and I’m going to live my life now not when I retire and only have 6 or so years left to live. I can’t stand it when rolls say to stop living life now so u can save that money for when u retire! That makes no sense. Most older people don’t do anything after they retire due to health issues. They sit around and wait to die. I’m not giving up my life as I like it now to do that! I’m going to go get this money now and live it up and leave my kids a good amount to get them going! I am also embedding them with the knowledge of financial literacy so they won’t just need money from me but will be able to make money without having to work and make some CEO rich!
I'm on my journey.
I ❤ Peter Lynch.
I invest everything I can.
Starting at 36:27 is the key. Anything we can do to educate the public regarding the stock market will help the public make a more intelligent decision with their money… Some elites don't want this to happen…
Go out there and learn it!
This video is actual gold. Some seriously helpful advice. 🙏🔥
Is he describing SMCI?
Instead of listening to Peter Lynch you should listen to Pelosi. Because they have much better returns 😉
Haaa this guys great !
Our biggest problem is tomany people getting rich for doing so
Little so somone has to pay that out of there pocket so some win some lose guess it’s gambling but hey we all should have right to try live the dream
Last year, I invested $15k in Crypto and made about $426k within a few months—and it’s still growing. I’ve always been a strong advocate for trading because it’s been incredibly rewarding for me. Looking forward to achieving financial freedom soon. And by the way, awesome content, brother!
I've been hesitant to invest in the present market, but I believe it's the greatest moment to get started. I heard one person talk about making over a million dollars with $300,000 in cash, and I'm left wondering what talent and plan would yield such a return.
This man was really a great legend
10 percent decline every 2 years is nothing lol
Please don’t buy GSK. I was awarded 1.2 million and there lay my wonderful dead husband. I remember I told the lawyer—I want to cure cancer. He never proved my husband died from GSK AVODART. GSK knew already. Your profits are coming directly from death with pharmaceutical companies. No matter how fat people get Eli Lily cannot not kill them with a weight loss drugs. Don’t even take drugs. Eat organic, exercise by getting the mail and avoid toxins. Learn what causes cancer and don’t fool yourself—God is watching.
Buffett and Lynch = the BEST teachers
I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 30k in crypto and made about $246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million.
I guess this was quite a while ago. Anyone now CAN predict macro-economic cycles and economic events with a greater degree of accuracy than ever before. Information is readily available if you do the time and research. The Fed Reserve and ECB/Bank of England give regular announcements well ahead of rate adjustments and likely size and pace…this is quickly factored into markets but if you get that info early and have a sensible strategy you can use it to your advantage. For example, when the Biden admin came in after Trump and reversed his energy-independence and high US oil output policy to go back to buying oil from OPEC that sent the oil price sky high after Trump bright it down to $40/barrel. High oil price then caused high inflatation in US and Europe and that led to higher interest rates…if you understand how these things are related and how central banks control inflation and money supply you can use that to make informed decisions on equity/stocks to invest in (ie oil/energy stocks if oil price rise expected) and which currencies to buy or sell, which commodities to buy or sell.
Not only is this guy a genious he is funny too
Guys this guys advice is so sound. Buy companies you know, I literally missed Microsoft at $180 put thousands into an EV dealer, I don’t know EV’s however I work implementing Microsoft products for businesses, I see demand through the roof for their products and see them dominating yet missed a buying opportunity because I was looking for the next get rich quick stock. Lessons learned, I’ll only be investing in things I know about from my experience now
Long live Peter. Thank you for your insights and sharing your experience and knowledge 🙏👏
Thanks for the update. <I will advise traders, especially newbies, to have an orientation of the market before getting involved. I must say trading offers more benefits than just holding, thanks to Rolando for always keeping me ahead of the trend, so glad I started his program….
Risk management should always come first, the reason many traders lose money is not simply due to inexperience or a lack of knowledge of the market, but because of poor risk management
These people were laughing way too much. I know he's subtly humourous… but they overdid it. lol
anyways on a positive note, I've started taking a linking to Mr. Lynch's wisdom. Good man. Good knowledge for beginning investors. 🤞🏾
I’m seeking to invest a good amount across various markets but don't know which is safe at this point of uncertainty, I was advised to diversify between stocks and bonds, since they can help hedge against inflation, or am I better off holding cash?
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Thanks for sharing ! I currently make £84k/yr. No investment and I work from home. I need to do something quick. What can I do?

What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio from a crash? I've heard that the market crash will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k portfolio.
Mr. Lynch will still not address the elephant in the room is that there is rank manipulation of the market, particularly by very large hedgefunds.
Acquiring a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. I have been trying to grow my portfolio of $160K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies .
Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2023, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680k savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.
17:04 If you bought the great companies mentioned you would have made 43X on Home Depot 28X on JNJ and almost 15X on WMT
From 6$ to 22$ should i sell?
Computing and power stands true irrespective of market!!
It’s amazing…thankyou..🙏😊
This video is a goldmine. What a superb speech. 👍🏼😇
My spouse and I are diversifying our long-term investment portfolio by adding various stocks and ETFs. We've allocated $220k to begin with, focusing on inflation-indexed bonds and companies with strong cash flows. I think the current market presents a good opportunity for long-term gains, but I'm also interested in learning ways to make short-term profits.
Warren Buffet suggests investing regularly in an index fund, namely S&P 500 etfs, on Vanguard, invest when it shows red, make money when it goes Green. Don't be emotional over it. Invest over the long term.
