What companies are you guys investing in?

I am already hodling onto high growth companies on their way to the moon, but want to hear what some other people are investing in.

Messaggio originale di Apollo702:

Could I make more with active or individual investing?

Possibly.

My medical nightmare is ending and my energy levels and focus are returning. But, my home and car are paid. There is no debt- so would active investing be worth the time and energy???

Depends on how much risk you're willing to put up with.

Safest:
If you just want to save for retirement; look into Roth IRA

Risky:
If you just want to put your dollars in a place where it may beat inflation or at least mitigate it;
Get into real estate, index funds, and ETF's.
Some people like mutual funds, I personally don't.

Very Risky:
If you're willing to research the market and individual companies for thousands of hours, and want to make predictions on where market trends will go;
Options trading and buying individual stocks.
But people often compare this to gambling lol.

I made myself into stocks and I am worth 30 dollars according to the black market.

Yeah, the low management fee ETFs seem to be the standard "safe" and "smart" way to go, but where is the fun in smart and safe? Are you really living if not waking up sweaty in the middle of the night evaluating your financial decisions?

Messaggio originale di Nargo:

Since we're in for a bear market and potential recession later this year or next year, going to buy stocks in commodities. Some would argue that T-bills and cash would be safer, but I'd rather just have more shares in company's I trust would be able to weather the economic storm.

Makes sense. But people have been saying we're in for a bear market "this year or next year" since as long as I can remember.

Stock market down for the past week. No rate cuts in sight.

I've seen some consensus saying there could be a pullback in the US economy during the second half of the year. Of course, that is still speculation. But, there's a ton of good blue chip companies' shares selling at huge discounts. Even though the indexes hit all time highs, which was obviously because of people piling into certain sectors and causing certain things to become extremely overvalued, there's still a ton of blue chips sitting at 52 week lows, or even setting new lows. People have the tendency to put the blinders on and bandwagon though, always chasing the gains they see being made, not having the foresight to imagine potential rotations into other sectors until after the fact, continually chasing.

Thinking of buying a gov. bond and buying a stock in the company I work for but haven't done either yet, I'll probably use the dividends from the stock to buy crypto (probably bitcoin) and from the bond to buy a precious metal (probably silver) both of which I can sell on a rainy day.

I do most of my banking through a CU though and I think you technically own stock in it if you use it so I guess I've invested in that.

None. I donate to the EFF and Bottles development.
