Say I believe that there's an upcoming market downturn within the next few years, and I want to profit by purchasing shares in an inverse leveraged stock such as SQQQ. What could happen if I held this stock as a long term investment expecting a market downturn? Also, is this …
Do you consider ethics and sustainability in your investment decisions?
Personally, I struggle with this question and I am wondering how others approach it. Do you continue to invest in companies like META, PLTR, MO, and PM because of their track records and growth potential or do you avoid them due to the ethical concerns of their data handling, environmental …

Private Equity & Return of Capital Distributions

Are Mag7 stocks the hedge against an AI/US overvaluation or are they the AI/US overvaluation?
I'm confused. I have a little more than 20% of my portfolio in the Mag7 and I am keeping it at that weight because I believe they are relatively resistant to a potential downturn. They are big enough to play the crony capitalism game, earn outside of AI, and won't …

Consensus is a Crash-To the Upside Reverse of 1929
After that rate cut, it seems like investors have jumped ahead of the FED. Was the easiest trade in history. There is no mystery, stocks will go up and the result is going to be a blow off 'top' according to Paul Tudor Jones. The issue? It might not be …
