  • @jameswood9772
    Just turned 24 this month, a little over $33k invested! So glad to have a community online in this comment section. All my irl friends think the world is ending and our generation is completely destroyed financially. Well, while they keep thinking they won’t live to be 60, I’ll be prepared!
  • It's a common misconception that when a stock you buy skyrockets, the smart thing to do is sell it (or at least sell some of it) to lock in your profits. But the context matters. If the stock has increased sharply because the business is performing exceptionally well, it could still be a bargain. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $350K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
  • 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.
  • @ivaanalenn
    A while back, I put money I needed for emergencies into investments, hoping for quick gains. It backfired, and I lost a lot. Now, I'm much more intentional with my investments, only using money I can afford to lose. It's taught me to prioritize my financial security and be cautious with investments. If you're thinking about investing, remember to prioritize your financial stability first.
  • 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
  • The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?
  • As a person and professional you couldn't get any better than Abel Dorsey Brandon is a very reliable person and an excellent professional in the IT field. He is the type of person you want to work that's passionate, hardworking and knowledgeable. You’re The Best 100%
  • @user-tf4ih3hb1c
    We have been on a recession since the beginning of 2022, but big media and governments all over the world didn’t want to admit it. We need to be wise and use our brains. Knowledge is power and I’d like all the family to be powerful! Just purchased some Abel Dorsey Thanks for keeping us informed during this times of doubt?
  • @kurtKking
    As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.
  • It's amazing what you do Abel Dorsey We need a lot of people with your skills and set who have good intentions and spread love
  • @LancEthan
    I think the stock market will do well in 2024, so I'm thinking of putting $220,000 into stocks for my retirement. Any advice on doing this safely? Also, any important tips for the current financial situation?
  • @bluestar..109
    I think it depends what you want to FOMO into Abel Dorsey. Some people's objective isn't to stack up on BTC, some people think we're just getting started because BTC dominance is only getting bigger mate. A greater opportunity awaits those that have different goals in mind.
  • @thomasburke8022
    Hey, I want to start investing but don't know where to begin. Any advice or contacts for help?
  • This is a great video I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post, I learn a lot watching your videos and it has always been helpful to me. Building a steady income is quite difficult for newbies.. Thanks to Abel Dorsey for improving my portfolio. keep up with the good videos.
  • I believe investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, especially given the present rollercoaster nature of the stock market. 35% of my $270,000 portfolio consists of collapsing stocks that were previously respected, and I don't know where to go from here.
  • @davide2160
    Just discovered your channel with this video -- I was able to think about my situation and I'm curious to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments, I earn around $130K per year but nothing to show for it yet.c
  • @MegatPage
    Interesting video I'm in my 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?
  • The biggest thing that is stopping me from investing is not completely understanding what I’m investing in and how it works.
