Universa’s Taleb on Inflation, Global Financial Markets, & Crypto

I'm not kidding when I say that the market crash and high inflation have me really stressed out and worried about retirement. I've been in the red for a while now and although people say these crisis has it perks, I'm losing my mind but I get it Investing is a long-term game, so focus on the long run.

Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place.

Market declines, soaring inflation, a significant Fed interest rate hike, and rising treasury rates are all expected to result in greater losses for portfolios this quarter. How can I make money now in the erratic market? I'm currently debating whether to sell the million-dollar bond and stock portfolio I have.

The market and the Fed consistently underestimate the sticky nature of inflation. The markets are still unsure if the Federal Reserve will continue to its plan to raise interest rates until inflation is under control, despite the fact that bond yields are rising while stock prices are falling. What is the greatest strategy to take advantage of the current bear market while I'm still deciding whether to sell my $401k worth of stocks?

Like Warren Buffet said, dividends are only good if the business you’re investing into can’t make good use of that capital. So if you’re trying to invest into businesses with actual growth, looking at dividends is a waste of time. Why are you investing into a company if they’re returning capital to you because they think you can make better use if it than they can. It’s not much different from bond investing. The way I see it if you have a $1 million at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income...

With inflation running at a four-decade high, Recession is now the ‘most likely’ outcome for the economy and i cannot imagine being a victim of circumstances. My portfolio suffered a big hit, holding it further won’t be any good. I've heard of people netting hundreds of thousands this red season. How can i ensure this?

Investing is a business of prudence - Don't try to make your money work and preserve it! When you think have a reason to buy an option, don't buy it as it is already priced in. Thanks Prof. Taleb

These two fellows are very smart and very entertaining. That doesn't mean we take everything as gospel or receive an immediate payoff. I've still got to do a lot of work myself. My experience is I probably always need to know more and work harder no matter who I read or listen to....

Nassim Taleb is just amazing, he is way ahead of the curve

Very much respect both parties, but Tom Keene did so well on the journalist side. Sorry to play favs I’m just mad impressed. Been following surveillance for a while and heck yeah man

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

Thank you, Tom

Great thinker of our time
